Eat Pray Love (7/10/10) maybe Sleep too..

Do not watch this film. Do it at your own risk and tell me how much you regret doing so.

Firstly, let me warn you. This movie is 2hours plus!!! Yeah, I know it looks like those kind of 1.5 hours movie. It's alittle boring from guys point of view. Three words title, Eat, Love and Pray are three scenes shot in 3 different countries, Italy, India and Bali for the above respective reasons. This film is more for older woman, like 35 years and above. For guys, you can simply skip this. Whatever I'm writing now may not be reliable as I have not read the book. My rating is 2.5/5. 1.5 hours for such shows are enough to bore you already.

This is a movie, so Julia Roberts get to be approached by people on her tour. It started of with her having marital problems and decided to divorce and take a break by traveling round the world solo. In Italy, a Swedish lady saw how Julia was a loser ordering a cup of coffee, that she decided to help Julia order in Italian and introduce her to all her friends. Its nice way to learn the italian way of speaking, which is using their hands for expression, just like Singapore huh? She got to try delicious pasta and pizza.

In Indian, she went for mediation sessions at the temples and obviously she cant understand a single thing. So it was lucky for her on her first visit, a western man who was also in the session, spotted her and hang out with her. He confessed to her all his past regrets and forgive them. He got her to deal with herself there and then too. But why do they have to film India with lots of rubbish on the street and people travelling in cars that are so old? Is that racism? You tell me. You'll get to see indian customs wedding too.

Finally in Bali, she met up with a fortune teller whom she first saw him last year. He couldn't remember her and his actions were really cute. He encouraged her to not be afraid to love again. She then met a man, whom knocked her down while driving, turned out to be her lover in the end. There was a struggle for her whether to go on a honeymoon with him but she made the choice to do so after that. I don't even think he deserves her. Don't even look matching. Her ex husband was still a better match.
