I found this move insufferably long. By the end I honestly didn't care what happened to the protagonist.
I found her very vain and self-centered.
On a side note when movie descriptions say "messy divorce" I expect some kind of drama there. Like "under the Tuscan Sun" where her ex knocked up somebody else and the hoochie wanted the house, that's a messy divorce. This was a bored selfish harpy who wanted to leave her husband for no apparent reason. The man still loves her, he serenades her at the divorce proceedings and she just blithely bangs James Franco. Now if this movie had been from the husbands point of view, that would have been a messy divorce.
Instead we follow this over privileged woman as she meanders from Italy to India to Bali. Now I wont lie some of the shots in Italy made me sigh. Now you should not be thinking how beautiful the cinematography is in a Julia Roberts movie, its just unnatural.
If you feel like watching this movie I would instead suggest you watch movies that take place in these locals, then you can see all the beautiful locations without have to sit threw this.
