No thanks. sigh. Another book ruined.
A film for bored, desperate, middle-aged Santa Monican women…
Oh great, Julia coasting through yet another movie.
Should’ve cast Sandra, obviously.
This will tank as hard as Tom Cruise Career. I look at this and i have zero interest at watching this movie. Even trailer made me depressed. And how can Julia Roberts play the same role again and again? The Valentine’s day – the same person. This is all that Julia could find? This movie will make zero money at box-office. And we will read another bunch of “Juia Robert’s joined Tom Cruise in career-end land”.
Terrible.
And Julia is being as fake as usual.
My friends were all over this book when it came out, but I couldn’t get far enough away from it. Oprah-approved spiritual journeys tend to induce vomiting and contempt.
Having said that, the trailer looks way better than expected. And Javier Bardem pretty much never hurts. (Richard Jenkins is a plus, too.) But who wants to see an insipid, pretty, well-heeled white woman be the center of attention across three continents? Will wait for reviews.
It’s like SEX IN THE CITY 3… “when one of the girls goes to Europe and India to find enlightenment – and hunky men!”
It also looks like a two-hour ad for West Elm Furniture… ugh.
Ugh. Please tell JR to go back into retirement
Shocked..Trailer was not bad, for women over 30 seeking more fun in life. Not my demo, though.
I’m a guy, and in real life, I actually play an older, Yoga-type teacher guy.
Still, movie looks lush & exotic, dare I say, alluring. I’m a sucker for anything Hollywood dishes out blending spiritual stuff & sex.
Would have had me, too, except for the films fatal flaw: Julia!
Never, ever, convincing as a personable woman, or genuine romantic, or a generous, sharing, & engaging actor, or someone I’d enjoy spending ANY time with.
Though in fairness, Hollywood promotes few women that I’d like to eat with, pray with, and make love with.
EAT PRAY LOVE…With the right woman, the essence of Tantric bliss, an unforgettable and transcendent experience truly worthy of a feature film.
With the wrong woman, a cinematic miss hardly worthy of a YouTube video.
Too bad, because with a more appropriate female and male lead (two actors with genuinely good hearts and good chemistry)I’d even go…or buy the DVD.
I vomited twice while watching this trailer.
I think it’ll be enjoyable.
Oh, gee.
A spoiled rich woman traveling to an exotic location to “find herself” because her successful life is just too much for her.
I’m sure PLENTY of people will identify with THAT right now.
Spending millions of dollars to make this movie out of that ridiculous book right now is ridiculous.
It’ll break even, if that.
It would be way better if her trip was absolute crap, she didn’t learn a fuck thing about herself, and was so glad to come home and just BE SATISFIED with herself and her life. More doubt monitization and perpetuation of women as weak by Hollywood. BULLSHIT.
I’d rather shave my ass with a rusty razor blade and squat in a bucket of gin.
It is possible that I will remember your remark word-for-word for the rest of my life. (Or at least a couple months.) Well played, sir.
Every woman I know is going to see this. People are already making plans for it. It will be like Sex In the City. Instead of cosmos before the movie we’re gonna have pasta and bread!!! Ask any woman if they’re happy and trust me when they see this trailer they say I wish to god I could do that crap. Give it up and travel around the world.
then fucking do it instead of yearning for bullshit movies that feed your despair
@El Drech-O — Wow. Thanks for clearing that up for us. I thought it was a documentary on Julia and her adventures. You are really smart, man. Give yourself another pat on the back , Dude.
Three wishes, just for fun:
I wish Julia Roberts had never been cast in “Pretty Woman” which started that career which never seems to end.
I wish that Eric Roberts had followed his brilliant performance in “Star 80″ with other equally good parts.
I wish HE were one of the biggest movie stars in the world instead of her.
Oh well.
Ok, so we got Viola Davis playing the black friend whose sole function is to show that the white woman has a black friend as said white woman runs around the planet to “find herself” because her perfect life is too much for her. Might I offer a suggestion? Said white woman should spend a week in the shoes of her black friend. She might then develop an appreciation for her perfect life and save airfare.
“Risk Everything”.
Dude. Since when is going on vacation for a year “risking everything.” I hated this book with such a fucking passion that I forced myself to finish reading it (I was camping and it was the only book I had left, a girl had brought it along) because I couldn’t believe how much I hated it.
Vapid, narcissistic, shallow, and now, dated, the author’s ability to travel the world and only see herself in everything she experienced was really a primer on what is wrong with out culture.
That being said, it may be JR’s comeback.
I loved the book, and I’m excited for the movie!
I’m the target audience for this film and I’ll be going to see Scott Pilgrim vs. The World that weekend.
This is going to be great. Call me a loser. Married, make money, in my 30s and have tons of friends and I would rather see this movie than shave my ass. If you can’t find joy in this trailer then you are so jaded by this business that you should probably leave it.
The biggest problem with this trailer: NO TEARS…without tears and vulnerability, this ad makes it seem like the movie is drama free and unrelatable. SHOW SOME TEARS stupid sony marketing vampires.
If Julia’s character in this film could meet up with Javier Bardem’s character from “No Country For Old Men,” now that would be a satisfying cinematic experience. And the trailer would kick ass. But Julia Roberts is far to “successful” to ever again in her starry life do anything of much real quality, and the movies she makes are so burdened with budget, what else can they be but poo-poo? But what’s poo-poo to some is a strawberry snow cone to many many others. It’s been fun reading the open hostility. Thanks.
Oh hey! A movie about a middle age woman trying to find herself and going to exponential lengths to do so? I don’t think we’ve had one in a long time! ‘Under The Tuscan Sun’ was only seven years ago, so we are long over due. The 2010 update: What happens when Julia Roberts sets off to three different exotic locations (nice budget for crap!) to find her “inner self”. What can possibly ensue? Absolutely nothing that could entice me to see this movie. Ever.
