Eat, Pray, Love is an adaptation of the novel, titled the same name by Elizabeth Gilbert which reputedly inspired by the story of his own life journey. Once Gilbert (Roberts) was a career woman who failed in her marriage to Steven (Crudup). He feels there is something missing in her life. Gilbert then a relationship with a player theater, David, but their relationship was not long. Gilbert finally decided to travel to Italy, India, and Indonesia to search for a lost identity.
Plots such as these clearly have a lot of us see in the movies drama similar journey. Normally the hero to learn or be taught a lesson from the experiences he encountered during the trip so that he finally found what he sought. Into the Wild Sean Pean claim is one perfect example of this type of drama through the depth of the theme. While the characters in this film memorable "escape" from reality to find "peace of mind" or rather seek worldly pleasures that have not been satisfied. The figures make every effort than eating good food, meditation, to sex to find "peace of soul"her. Absolutely not shown how his trip to India for example, able to reflect on his peace of his soul. Ending was almost the same solution with the romance film drama mostly. In short, the story of the movie is too shallow.
Apart from a shallow story, Roberts has been playing the maximum. His role this time did not seem to deplete his acting skills at all. Bardem, Crudup, and Franco also look good but nothing special. Bardem himself appeared almost similar to his role in a movie romance, Vicky Christina Barcelona.
One thing that is interesting in this film is that we like really taken traveling to Italy, India, and Bali. Sequences in Italy is probably the best by being able to show the exotic cities in Italy, from architecture, food, friendliness of the citizens, to the style of speech. Sequences in Bali, despite considerable portion, but less exotic island resort show the truth. Unfortunately, the filmmakers seem to avoid the use of the sites that become major tourist attractions in Bali, of course, is for ease of production. Apart from this all in general Eat, Pray, Love is the usual drama that only displays the exotic cities disinggahinya. If you want to get something more, this film did not offer anything new.
