Javier Bardem Makes Me Interested to See Eat, Pray, Love
I'll admit I wasn't totally on board for the film adaptation of Eat, Pray, Love when it was announced that Julia Roberts would play the lead role, memoir writer Elizabeth Gilbert.

Eat, Pray, Love Movie Gets Going With Richard Jenkins
Ryan Murphy is the creator of Popular and Nip/Tuck, writer/director of Running With Scissors and most recently the creator of Fox's high school chorus comedy Glee — and now he can add "director of Eat, Pray, Love" to his resume. And he won't just be working with Julia Roberts in the main role (as was announced back in 2006), he's got Oscar nominee Richard Jenkins to boss around as well. Here's more:
Based on the international bestseller by Elizabeth Gilbert, story centers on a married woman who embarks on a journey of self-discovery after trying to get pregnant and realizing that she's not living the life she wants.
Is Eat, Pray, Love Enlightening or Annoying?

However, this kind of success often comes with a backlash, and some critics are claiming Gilbert ought to "get over herself."
