I just love the whole concept of the movie. I wish I would've done something like Liz when I had the chance before getting married and having children!!

I read the book which was fascinating page turner as for the movie I was thrilled Julia was playing Liz's character but the ending was no where near as exciting as the book.

Julia Roberts at her best. If you are a traveller,even an armchair traveller you will love the scenery, the music, the exotic foods and the very interesting experiences of a woman open to new ideas and life experiences.

This movie is a proof positive that women are people as well as men are. That is to say that
"assists to lower ( and they need to be lowered)society's "un-realistic expections" and demands on women. Society (and many men) seem to have expect that women live a life of "martyrdom and self sacrafice" for their children and/or their husbands and this movie helps people (men) realize that women are people too.
That is to say that women have the same needs anyone (not just men). Needs like affilliation, comradery, success and money, accomplishments and rewards.
How "idiotic" not so surprisingly for me, that
people are!

If Liz Gilbert were a man, we would pillory her for abandoning her spouse, and taking off with another. This is Hollywood, so it's all okay. The film leaves little to recommend it on a moral basis.
