Eat, Pray, Love

Yesterday I went to see Eat, Pray, Love with a couple of friends. It based on a best-seller book by Elizabeth Gilbert. In this book she tells her own story about when she realized how unhappy her marriage really was, and that her life needs to go in a different direction. After a painful divorce, she takes off on a round-the-world journey to "find herself". For that she goes to Rome to learn italian and eat, for India to find God and pray and to Bali to find balance and eventually, love.

I liked the movie, pretty much what I thought of the book actually, not that good, not that bad. Thank God though they shortened the "Pray" part a bit, and they changed a little the story, mainly about her stay in Bali and her relationship to Felipe. And come on, does that guy really thinks he speaks portuguese? He even may speak, but definitely not like a brasilian would have...

I still think it is worth watching, mainly because it is been so discussed...

IMDb: 4.9

*BTW, today also arrived my 101 Dalmatians (1961 - IMDb: 7.2) and The Sleeping Beauty (1959 - IMDb: 7.4), which I could finally find for sale in another website... But all the others that, as mentioned here, were impossible to find, keep on being impossible :(
