Frankly, I'm quite tired of hearing the words "Eat, Pray, Love" - and FYI, I won't be going over what the movie is actually about, you should know by now.
Ever since the author, Elizabeth Gilbert, first appeared on Oprah, every middle-aged woman has been talking about it. Now, I'm really not one to sit down and have a good read (especially just because Oprah says it's good) but seeing the movie made me want to go out and get the book (and maybe even read it, too).
On opening night, my mom and I went to the local movie theater (very small, only two theaters) and joined a group of 60+ year old women (the joys of living in a "retirement" town).
Throughout the movie, laughter, tears and "Awww" filled the theater (there was also a few folks who caught some ZzZ's, I guess it was past their bedtime). Personally, I left with an even stronger desire to visit Italy, as the movie really captures the lustful 'relationship' between a woman and her pizza (and gelato, and spaghetti). However, I'm sure the movie left almost every woman the desire to become a world traveller.
Take your grandmas and go see Eat Pray Love.
What did you think of the movie?
