I’m disappointed. I expected the reviews on the new movie, Eat, Pray, Love, to be better. They’re not so hot.
“… be warned that you are diving into a movie with the spiritual and emotional depth of a birdbath.” - St. Louis Suburban Journal.
“A bloated monster of a movie. … gargantuan running time.” - Cinema Blend Movie Review
“Superficial. …unlikely to change anyone’s life.” – Los Angeles Times
Though 7 million people enjoyed the book, Eat, Pray, Love was 2nd at the box office on its debut weekend. Sylvester Stallone’s The Extenders took first place honors.
Regardless of the box office reports and harsh critics, I’ll go to see the movie. The ideas, experiences, and philosophy of author Elizabeth Gilbert align with many of our values at yourSABBATICAL.com. We want everyone to have a break from their job – to have “time out” to call one’s own.
