Review: Eat Pray Love

I read Elizabeth Gilbert’s best-selling Eat Pray Love, and I loved it (well, most of it). I could connect with Liz, and feel her pain, her joy, and ultimately her love.

I waited until last night to see the big screen movie adaptation of the book, and I had high hopes.

I like Julia Roberts. I was talking about the movie with my mom about a week ago, and she said “but Julia Roberts isn’t a good actress.” I said “what are you talking about! There was that movie…” and I drew a blank. I mean I guess she was good in Erin Brockovich, no arguing that – she won the Oscar. But ever since – has she been great in many movies? Not really.

When I heard she had been cast to play Liz, I thought it was perfect casting. It would be a good opportunity for Julia to flex her acting muscles. But the whole time I was watching the movie, I couldn’t get past all the Juliaisms. The loud cackling laugh, the smiling, the crying. Julia Roberts was just too Julia Roberts for the movie. You never really saw her as Elizabeth Gilbert, all you could see was every Julia Roberts character she’s ever played. They’re all so similar – either that’s a sign that Julia’s a good actress, or as I suspected earlier, and she’s not a very good actress at all. The character was deep, and interesting, and Julia did not portray that on film very well.

From the beginning, I just didn’t care for how the movie was filmed. It was glossed over, and too cheesy for me. The first half hour is painful to get through. Julia doesn’t really connect with any of the characters. From her first husband, played by Billy Crudup, to her rebound boyfriend James Franco - to the friends she meets along her journey – I just felt the relationships weren’t deep enough for me to care about. I adore Richard Jenkins whom she met in India – and I thought Javier Bardem – whom she falls in love with in Bali – was the best part of the whole movie.

I thought the movie wasn’t bad – but it definitely wasn’t good. Immediately after seeing the movie, I thought they totally miscast Elizabeth. Julia Roberts was not the right choice. I get why they cast her – seems like a sure thing, financially. But she didn’t do the material justice. Sure she can cry with the best of them. She does that laugh that made her famous in Pretty Woman. She smiles and we’re supposed to melt. Those cutesy tactics were lost on me.

In my humble opinion,  better choices for Liz would have been Cate Blanchett, Naomi Watts or even Kate Winslet (even though she’s a bit young).

I’m not exactly sure where/why the movie fell flat…it just did. It was pretty bland. Sure, it was pretty to look at, and Julia Roberts is definitely gorgeous. But I could never really connect with the movie the way I did with the book.

Bottom Line? If you didn’t read the book, you might like it more than I did. It’s not a bad movie, it’s just not a great movie.

If you’ve seen it, I’d definitely love to hear your opinion.

Former ‘Bachelorette’ winner Jesse Csincsak to be a dad!

Csincsak became engaged to DeAnna Pappas on ‘The Bachelorette‘ but they called their engagement off, not long after the finale aired. Big shock, I know. Last week Pappas announced that she was engaged to Stephen Stagliano, whom she met at a 2009 ‘Bachelorette’ party.

Not to be outdone, Jesse also announced last week that he was engaged to girlfriend Ann Lueders (who also appeared on The Bachelor, in Jason’s season).

In a video given to RadarOnline, Jesse introduces Ann to his parents for the first time, and gives them the big news.

“We do have some other news for you guys,” Csincsak says, before pulling up a picture of an ultrasound. “This is something you guys have been waiting for a really long time — there’s Noah Csincsak! We’re four months pregnant!”

The couple plan to wed in Las Vegas on August 28.

Kim Kardashian on her sex tape: “Not my most proud moment.”

On her sex tape with ex-boyfriend Ray-J:

Not my most proud moment. It was humiliating. But now let’s move on. Not that I don’t think it’s no one’s business, but I think I’ve done a good job of replacing negative things with positive things.

On her E! show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians:

Doing a show with my entire family, I think people got to see the real me. Our show really is our family therapy – everything’s on camera, so you’re forced to deal with issues that you might not have wanted to or been able to.

On her new $4 million home in L.A.:

It was above my price range. I saw it… and I was like, “This will be mine.”

On growing up in a religious home:

All the books we read before bed were, like, Bible-study books. Or little tales like Samson and Delilah with cartoons.  And my mom would have Bible study at our house with her girlfriends.

On being on the cover of Playboy:

It’s nothing that I regret, being on the cover of Playboy is very iconic. I was like ‘OK, I’m proud to do this and to show people that I don’t have to be stick-skinny to be looked at as a sex symbol, and to me that’s not what’s attractive anyway.’ So I was all for it, although I was very nervous.

After the fact, I said ‘I wish I hadn’t done Playboy then’ – not that it’s not something I wouldn’t do now, but because I wasn’t in the best shape of my life. I lost about 15 pounds, and I feel so proud. I look back and say ‘Oh my God I was so heavy then’. If you look now, I’m so much skinnier; my face is so much slimmer; my whole stomach is defined.

On what the future holds:

In five years I would hope to be settled down, have a baby or two. I always thought, For sure, when I’m 30, I’ll have four kids like my mom.

Marilyn Manson and Evan Rachel Wood SPLIT again!

According to PEOPLE, Marilyn Manson and Evan Rachel Wood ended their engagement last week!

Manson hit L.A. hotspot Boudoir with some friends on Saturday night to blow off some steam. “They just broke off their engagement, and he needed a night out with friends,” says another source.

Manson proposed to Wood back in January during a performance in Paris. They originally began dating in 2006, but split two years later when Wood was rumored to have cheated with actor Shane West (pic below). They split – then reconnected in January when they became engaged.
