Newly divorced and facing uncertainty, Liz embarks on a transformative journey to Italy, India, and Bali, seeking self-discovery.

She meets a new Swedish friend who introduces her to a private Italian tutor, and they share a Thanksgiving celebration before Liz heads to India.

In India, Liz stays at an ashram where she delves into the power of prayer and is tasked with humbling chores like scrubbing floors.

When Felipe proposes, Liz agrees, but as they spend time alone in a remote location, she becomes overwhelmed and breaks off the engagement.

Filming locations include New York City (United States), Rome and Naples (Italy), Delhi and Pataudi (India), Ubud and Padang-Padang Beach at Bali (Indonesia).

The site's critical consensus reads "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.

Eat Snickers, pray for end of dire film about Julia Roberts' emotional growth, love the fact it can't last forever.

Julia finds spirituality, rejects rat race, gives Balinese therapist 16 grand to buy house.

"[21] In The Huffington Post, critic Jenna Busch wrote: Eat Pray Love is ultimately charming and inspirational.

[22]In the Italian newspaper La Repubblica, journalist Curzio Maltese wrote: How many platitudes fit in a two-hour-twenty-minutes-long movie?

[...] Goes without saying that the story would've surprised us more if Julia had found out how well one can eat in Mumbai, how much they pray in Indonesia, and how one can fall in love even in the Grande Raccordo Anulare, possibly avoiding rush hour.

[27] Products included Eat Pray Love-themed jewelry,[28] perfume,[28] tea,[28] gelato machines,[27] an oversized Indonesian bench,[29] prayer beads, and a bamboo window shade.

[30] World Market department store opened an entire section in all of their locations devoted to merchandise tied to the movie.

[29] The Home Shopping Network ran 72 straight hours of programming featuring Eat Pray Love products around the time of the film's release.
