“Eat Pray Love” is the latest Julia Roberts chick flick and is just what you’d expect, only more boring.

Roberts stars as Liz Gilbert, a NY writer who loses her zest for life after her divorce. She decides to spend a year traveling to Italy, India, and Bali in the hopes of finding herself and again.

Everything about this movie was just … blah. Nothing bad but nothing good either. Roberts is fine. She’s a dependable actress but the script does nothing to push her to be anything more than mediocre.

Plus, the film never gives you a reason to care about Liz and her quest. If your protagonist is a whiny middle-aged woman with a seemingly infinite amount of money you need a good reason for the audience to care about her happiness.

The pacing of the film was the worst part. Everything just drags on; from her divorce, to eating in Italy, praying in India, and loving in Bali. It was slow and drawn out and just seems never-ending.

One positive thing about this movie was the cinematography. This was a beautiful movie full of bright, vivid colors and a pizza in Naples that had me drooling.

“Eat Pray Love” is a movie, not good, not bad, just another movie.
