Critics Consensus

The scenery is nice to look at, and Julia Roberts is as luminous as ever, but without the spiritual and emotional weight of the book that inspired it, Eat Pray Love is too shallow to resonate.

Autostraddle

Without discounting the importance of Gilbert's decision... it can't be removed from its context: it's a story about choosing self over prescribed generic femininity, a world of your own making over the deeply patriarchal American upper-middle class.

Reel Talk Online

An engaging but deliberate chick flick at times, Eat, Pray, Love has the quintessential chick flick star at the helm with Roberts, who played the role beautifully...

There’s some love along the way, and a little bit of praying, but it’s the “Eat” in the title that gets the most attention, like a neon sign in the window of an all-night diner.

Unlike the original source, Eat Pray Love presents a flawless caricature that's on an idyllic, hiccup-free trip in a world full of kind people who are happy to be at the mercy of this lost American tourist. [Full review in Spanish]

It's a good movie. I liked it because it is thought provoking, and moving. I recommend seeing it.

Like Liz, this movie was lost. She didn’t know what to do with her life, why she was on the trip and what she learned about herself, and neither do I. (38%)

The prequel to Live Laugh Love. Despite having a surprisingly stacked cast and the budget to film on location across the world, it only results in a bland vanilla self-discovery film. Julia Roberts as Liz Gilbert is a white savior first-ballot Hall of Famer, going 3/3 when it comes to “enlightening” or “enriching” the people in the countries she travels to. Ryan Murphy should stick to working his voodoo on TV shows as this film’s structure and pacing is a hot mess, that ironically would’ve probably worked better as a television miniseries. Too much material from the original memoir was attempted to be crammed into a film, resulting in it feeling rushed and not allowing the viewer enough time to grow attached to any of the supporting characters.

This movie; key word "attempts", to create meaning, but is really let down by messy direction and lousy screenwriting. Such a talented lead, Julia Roberts, wasted by the missed potential and the boring, long beginning that just felt like an eternity. I must say though, the cultural aspects of this movie were impressive and fun to watch, everything else is forgettable and quite frankly you can miss this Julia Roberts' movie out...

An excellent movie that moves you, sheds light, relatable, thought provoking ... including the parts we might not wish for. Julia does an amazing portrayal of the main character.
