Movie Review: Eat, Pray, Love

Ok so I thought I would like this movie more than I did. ok so Julia Roberts (I love her) is in a marriage with a guy who is a total childish dork, she divorces him when she meets this much younger cute guy ( the younger bad guy on Spider man) but then realizes that she's living for men and not for herself so she convinces her best friend who her publicist to let her go live for a year abroad to find herself. She lives in Italy, Dubai, and Bali, and in Italy she learns that she's ok with herself and her body and that she loves herself no matter what, in Dubai she learns that god is in her and is her, she is god. (insert eye roll here) and in Bali she learns that no matter what you need family love. then she comes back to America and realizes that she can't live without the dude that almost ran her over in Bali and so she goes back to him and they sail off together into the sunset.

What I liked about the movie:
It was neat see a woman go off on an adventure like that all by herself and I found myself living vicariously though her.
It had Julia Roberts in it.
Best part of the movie
Julia Roberts says: I'm so sick of everyone telling me I need a husband. I don't need a husband.
Guy says: You don't need a husband, you need a Champion.

What I didn't like about the movie:
idol worship all though the movie. I mean like hard core she would buy little gold idols, she prayed to idols, she worshiped idols all though the movie. it was a central part of the movie.
she said that she was god.
it had a cheesy ending... they sailed into the sunset

on a scale from 1 to 10 I'd give it a solid 3
