The Eat, Pray, Love Trailer: Dig In

Though she had a small supporting role in the jam-packed Valentine's Day, Julia Robert hasn't had a starring role since her (actually-quite-good) bomb Duplicity. But J.Ro is back with the film adaptation of the smash book Eat, Pray, Love, and Sony has released another trailer for the likely hit. So what's on the menu for Julia's this time?

Well, I'm not sure that I'm the target audience here. To my eyes, it just looks like some travelogue porn gussied up with a patina of Intro to Eastern Civilization Cliff Notes. And I've never quite cottoned to the "Navel-Gazing Pretty White Woman Has First-World Problems" genre; the movie looks a bit like a less labia-centric Sex and the City movie.

But! The book has been on the New York Times bestseller list for more than 140 weeks for a reason. The book has an enormous fanbase, as does Julia Roberts -- and she's got fans who are dying to see her return to her romantic movie roots.

VERDICT: Mixed -- I'll give it a pass but I'm sure my mom is already in line.
