Son K has to do a movie review for school on the movie 'Eat, Pray, Love' starring Julia Roberts, directed by Ryan Murphy, co-produced by Brad Pitt. So we watched that on the weekend. It's based on the book by Elizabeth Gilbert. The main character is on a journey of self-discovery. A writer from New York, she divorces her husband, moves in with a handsome guy for awhile, still very discontented with life. She decides to travel for a year. Her first stop is Rome where she EATS a lot and seems happier. Before long she goes off to India to meditate and PRAY. Finally it's time to go to Bali where she faces the prospect of finding true LOVE. I must say Bali looked very appealing, wow, so beautiful there. I normally like movies like this, but I kept expecting more from it. Oh well. Have you seen this movie, did you like it?

I don't know the movie, sorry! The Church gardens look pretty! Valerie
I haven't seen Eat, Pray, Love but after everything I've heard about it I'd expect a lot. Probably for the best that I haven't seen it. I have however seen some beautiful flowers at my local church. Seeing them is one of the highlights of my walks.
Beautiful roses. I still need to watch that movie! I hear such great things about it.
I saw the movie, and like you, I expected a little more. It was enjoyable, but nothing great. Lovely roses at the church!
I haven't saw that movie yet, your photos are lovely!
The book 'Eat, Pray, Love' was MUCH better than the movie!
Your photos seem brighter. Are you using a new camera?
I read the book and saw the movie. Both are wonderful. I love memoirs more than any other genre.
Such gorgeous shots.
I thought the book was much better than the movie. I enjoyed reading it a few years ago, but when I read it a 2nd time I was in a different place in my life and she just made me angry. Then I gave it away.
What sweet and lovely roses! I haven't seen the movie or read the book, but I find that in general books are more satisfying then movies...
I haven't seen that movie yet
I've not seen the movie; read parts of the book that came out in Oprah magazine. Saw the author on Oprah. Not impressed with any of it so never had any interest in seeing the movie. What kind of class is your son taking that would require that movie be reviewed? Seems an odd choice.
Delaine, it's an English Literature credit course.
