It's a good thing I was never a fan of the premise and catch this in cinema. Because from my perspective, Eat, Pray and Love is painful to watch. Billy Crudup is reduced to ugly and spiteful. I mean, hey casting director. Billy Crudup is a hottie. How daring of you. This review is correct. Whine, Whine, Whine should have been the proper title.
I don't get the protagonist Liz' (Julia Roberts) complaints. It could have just been getting divorce and embarking on new adventures, writing and getting paid for it. Unlike us working ants.
I know too well the lure of travel, to engage in speaking fluent Italian, to soak up a new culture and achieve enlightenment.
Mostly it's for the rich and privilege. Those of us who have to work for food can't afford a gap year.
