I actually love Julia Roberts (file under guilty pleasures) but there's no way I'll see this movie -- until it's streaming on Netflix and I'm holed up in bed with a cold and the laptop.]]>Jul 12th 2010 12:16PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2010/07/11/eat-pray-love-tourism-frenzy-begins/http://www.luxist.com/2010/07/11/eat-pray-love-tourism-frenzy-begins/
So if her writing/the movie gets more people to visit Italy (http://www.dreamofitaly.com) or Rome (http://www.dreamofitaly.com/public/department56.cfm) then BRAVO!]]>Jul 12th 2010 1:29PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2010/07/11/eat-pray-love-tourism-frenzy-begins/http://www.luxist.com/2010/07/11/eat-pray-love-tourism-frenzy-begins/
But with that said, I did like the Eat and Pray part of the book better than I liked Love, in other words, I thought the book sagged at the end.

But If the book or the movie encourages people to travel though, I'm all for it. Which is also why I wrote about travel tie-ins to the Sex and the City sequel earlier here on Luxist. And come to think of it, that movie would make an interesting compare and contrast to EPL, as SATC2 is a model of self-absorption in which I can find almost redeeming value.]]>Jul 12th 2010 6:15PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2010/07/11/eat-pray-love-tourism-frenzy-begins/http://www.luxist.com/2010/07/11/eat-pray-love-tourism-frenzy-begins/Aug 5th 2010 5:13PM
