So my wife and I decided to see this movie this past weekend for date night. Though it was not an amazing movie there were definitely a few amazing things about it.

The story is very average and Julia Roberts plays the same role that she always takes on. There are various other cast members that do a fine job in their own parts but nothing over bearing (though Richard Jenkins seems to shine more than the others).

But what I liked about it were the scenes in Italy and the beautiful landscapes that are shown in the other countries. There were some breathtaking views and some quality moments.

I was bored during most of the scenes involving India and felt the movie could have been about 45 minutes shorter (it has 2:15 run time, which is much too long for this time of movie).

Overall, I enjoyed it for a date movie but don't expect to be entertained through out the movie. It could be a good rental on some cold winter night come Christmas though.
