Julia Roberts stars as Elizabeth Gilbert in Eat Pray Love, the adaptation of Gilbert’s best-selling memoir. In 2005 Gilbert was a successful, married, 32-year-old writer, except (*RECORD SCRATCH*) she wasn’t happy. So she divorced her husband and took up with another man. But she was still depressed. She realized there was a hole in her heart that she couldn’t fill with wieners, so she went on vacation and wrote a book, the end. Okay, not really. Well, sorta.
She spent the next year traveling the world. She spent four months in Italy, eating and enjoying life (Eat). She spent four months in India, trying to find her spirituality (Pray). She ended the year in Bali, Indonesia, looking for “balance” of the two, and love (Love). Gilbert paid for the trip with an advance she received on a book she planned to write.
I can’t wait for the sequel where she comes back to New York and annoys the sh*t out of all her friends by starting every sentence with, “Well, when I was in India…”
I heard that if you read this book, you grow an actual vagina. True story.

So, Julia Roberts is playing a 32 year old? Is this going to be an animated deal?
Fucking white people. Honestly.
Nothing says “feminist empowerment” like casting off the shackles of your stable relationships because some old Indian dude told you to.
As a writer, I can tell you this plot is 100% feasible.
*dismissive wank, middle finger up the pooper*
I think Julia Roberts is getting a little long in the tooth.
*doubles over laughing, slaps knee, urinates on fire hydrant*
Or Indonesian dude, whatever.
“Hello, Random House? Yes, I plan on writing a book about a trip I’m going to take with money you’re going to give me based on this idea… Well I am able to touch my penis to my anus, but I hardly see why that is of significance.”
I’m currently living off the advance UPROXX gave me for my new book, Drink Wank Fart…And Zombies.
An old Indonesian man once taught me everything he knew. Turns out it was just anal :(.
What is the “incredible” part of this “true story”? Was it that she decided to let herself go and didn’t get fat?
This actual vagina that you grow after reading the book . . . where might it be located? Because if it’s anywhere close enough to be able to go fuck yourself the publisher needs to ship a pallet of them to Congress STAT!
I spent four months in India looking for a dude named “Brian” who told me I voided the warranty on my Dell when I installed a CD burner.
The balance between eating and praying is getting plowed by some white guy in India?
Donk, did you try asking for “Anbir”? They do that with their names, y’know.
Based on my extensive research* this broad was already an established writer, having penned the magazine article which eventually was turned into the film Coyote Ugly. So my initial instinct was to hate her… however, she did name her first novel about fishermen arguing over territory “Stern Men”, so there’s a non-zero chance she could be Chino.

Great, another movie about empowering some blubbering vagina instead of getting me a beer after sucking my dick.
I never thought of that, Erswi. I never did find him; although I met a ton of people who were willing to take me to a guy named Rick Shaw in their wheelbarrow taxi thingies.
I was at a party one time, probably back around ’97. Drinks were flowing, maybe a few people were toking, and it started getting pretty wild real fast. Sometime close to 2 in the morning, we were all trying to top each others crazy antics. Bill did the old tuck and kangaroo hop, some chick – I think her name was Allie – deepthroated a flower vase, I was putting lit cigarettes out in my mouth, when out of motherfuckin’ nowhere, Julia Roberts busts in, and BAM! slams her face down on that day’s Washington Post, and comes up with half of Rachel Maddow’s column transferred to her cheek. Then she started grabbing her face and mushing and stretching the writing all together. Needless to say, that was the night we decided to get sober. We still meet on Wednesdays at the Waffle House.
Since they got Julia Roberts for the role, I can only guess the story and her search for love ends when she finds a mirror and spends the rest of her life pining after her own reflection.

Good job Vince. I just heard on the news that Robert Patinson is buying every copy of this book he can find and setting fire to it. Look at what you have done…
Hey Julia… the guy said you look like a dude, and that was a compliment. Whaddya think about that?
FACT: If you call Elizabeth Liz she will lecture you on Victorian etiquette.
Jirish you liar… he’s keeping one for himself, then he’s going to write a journal about his experiences – The Book of Pati
Julia Robert playing a 32 year old…? Man she must have lived a really hard life.
this should be titled EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON: The Chick’s Explanation for Everything Worldly. What a bunch of fucking bullshit.
here’s the guy’s version…it’s got a hot spanish chick, bullfights AND Dennis Hopper:

Just so you all won’t have to experience the same disappointment as myself, Menace’s link is not about porn.
I’m not going to watch the trailer, but from the screenshot of it, is this through the eyes of a Predator? Because that might sweeten the deal.
This sounds like Zog Durst’s book “Love Eat Prey”.
Boring wanking? “Meat in Grey Glove”
Julia Roberts’ dentist is contemplating charging her by the square inch for routine teeth cleanings. He’s always wanted to retire early.
in order to ease the pain this trailer has caused me, I will now pretend to edit it with scenes from any Juggalo title.
“SHERIFF SUGARWOLF?!?! HAHAHAHAHA!!!”
Weiners? Genius!
