It has been a while since I went to the movies. Tuesday night is the night
to go around here so I picked up my bag of Wine Gums at Wal-Mart and we saw
Eat Pray Love at a nearby theatre. I enjoyed the wine gums...can't say as
much for the movie.
I had read a review in the weekend paper that made me look forward to food
porn and a good story. Neither happened in the movie. I didn't connect
with anything and at the end of the movie her life had changed, maybe, but
I had no idea how or why it happened. Some man we barely knew seemed to
have made an impact on her but I thought she was trying to "not need a man"
throughout the movie. The food scenes were not so great, didn't make me
hungry in the least. City scenes were ugly. Chanting in the Hindu places
looked like chaos with people laughing and clapping. Nothing spiritual at
all but I got the feeling it was intended to be.
A friend at the office told me next day the book was better. I just can't
say enough bad things about this movie...but as I said earlier, the wine
gums were good!
