Based on the true life story and novel, Liz Gilbert (Julia Roberts) is very unhappy with her life.  She is in a loveless marriage, and does not know how to make her life happy.  She decides to get a divorce, and then travels the world for one full year.  She decides to go soul searching, and she eats her way through Italy, prays her way through India, and tries to love herself and her life in Bali.  Along this journey, she meets many new friends that help her become one with herself and just be happy.  Liz is also trying to keep her life balanced, and these friends make it easier for her to do so.

I bought the novel to read, but watched the movie before opening up the book and I was highly disappointed.  It was a very long movie, of the very long journey of a woman who is confused on what to do with her life.  I found the film very dull and boring.  Julia Roberts is one of my favorite actresses, but I just could not get into this film.  I also thought the ending of very uneventful and predictable.  I would skip this film in the Netflix queue!
