Negative Positive
Title: Poor Little Rich Girl
Review: Watch this movie for the photography and the exotic travel. I don't share Ms. Gilbert's outlook on life and found the movie to be self indulgent and self-pitying much like her book. The acting is good and the travel scenes are a visual feast. The time before and including her stay in Italy is the most interesting--after that it gets wacky. An intelligent, educated, wealthy woman seeks answers to life's questions from toothless sages in impoverished countries. Am I missing something here? I loved Viola Davis as Liz Gilbert's best friend. The beginning of the movie is interesting and draws you in--then it gets to be a slog--too bad.
Is the review positive or negative?
