Eat Pray Love, Ryan’s Murphy’s film about Julia Roberts’ spiritual journey set partly in India gets a thumbs down from The Guardian’s film critic Peter Bradshaw

Sit, watch, groan. Yawn, fidget, stretch. Eat Snickers, pray for end of dire film about Julia Roberts‘s emotional growth, love the fact it can’t last for ever. Wince, daydream, frown. Resent script, resent acting, resent dinky tripartite structure. Grit teeth, clench fists, focus on plot. Troubled traveller Julia finds fulfilment through exotic foreign cuisine, exotic foreign religion, sex with exotic foreign Javier Bardem. Film patronises Italians, Indians, Indonesians. Julia finds spirituality, rejects rat race, gives Balinese therapist 16 grand to buy house. Balinese therapist is grateful thankful, humble. Sigh, blink, sniff. Check watch, groan, slump. more
