Negative Positive
Title: A total dud
Review: This movie misses the mark in every way. It never becomes clear what demons Gilbert is wrestling with, she doesn't seem to really learn anything from her travels, and the big questions of life are barely even hinted at, much less seriously engaged. Having sugary Julia Roberts play Gilbert only makes all of this worse. And to top it off, the movie is drainingly boring, with even the scenery failing to generate interest. In short, the movie lacks both substance *and* style.I hope the book is better than the movie. More importantly, I hope the real Elizabeth Gilbert has more depth than the shallow character presented to us.Not recommended, not even to waste time ... on second thought, maybe this movie would work well as a sleep aid.
