BASED on the memoir by Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat Pray Love is a travelogue about a divorced woman’s journey of self-enlightenment. Following the break-up of her marriage, magazine writer Liz (Julia Roberts) embarks on a year-long odyssey in Rome, followed by a sojourn at an Indian Ashram where she meets a Texan called Richard (Richard Jenkins) and 17-year-old Tulsi (Rushita Singh). Then in Bali, Liz continues to search for sustenance for her wounded soul, including a pleasant flirtation with divorced dad Felipe (Javier Bardem). Roberts is luminous against breath-taking locations, although at 134 minutes, Eat Pray Love is a long-haul. DRUG dealer David Clark (Jason Sudeikis) attempts to save a homeless girl, Casey (Emma Roberts), from muggers. In the process, he loses his his supplier’s cash. To clear his debts he must smuggle in drugs from Mexico, and approaches stripper Rose (Jennifer Aniston, pictured with Sudeikis) Casey and neighbour Kenny (Will Poulter) to pose as his family.
