Summary:At fortysomething, straight-laced Cal Weaver (Steve Carell) is living the dream–good job, nice house, great kids and marriage to his high school sweetheart. But when Cal learns that his wife, Emily (Julianne Moore), has cheated on him and wants a divorce, his “perfect” life quickly unravels. Worse, in today’s single world, Cal, who hasn’t dated in decades, stands out as the epitome of un-smooth. Now spending his free evenings sulking alone at a local bar, the hapless Cal is taken on as wingman and protege to handsome, thirtysomething player Jacob Palmer (Ryan Gosling). In an effort to help Cal get over his wife and start living his life, Jacob opens Cal’s eyes to the many options before him: flirty women, manly drinks and a sense of style that can’t be found at Supercuts or The Gap. Cal and Emily aren’t the only ones looking for love in what might be all the wrong places: Cal’s 13-year-old son, Robbie, is crazy about his 17-year-old babysitter, Jessica, who harbors a crush on Cal. And despite Cal’s makeover and his many new conquests, the one thing that can’t be made over is his heart, which seems to keep leading him back to where he began.

Eat Pray Love

Based on the real memoir of Elizabeth Gilbert, this is a movie that is (naturally) being cast as a ‘chick flick’.
Liz is a New York writer, who after a disastrous short term marriage to smitten husband Stephen
(Billy Crudup)bolts overseas to 3 countries to ‘ find herself’.
First stop – a food fest in Italy, then on to a more Spartan regime in an Indian Ashram and finally to Indonesia- where, happily for Liz, hunky Javier is just waiting for her to show up and ‘trust’ her instincts!
This book ,of course, shot to fame after being endorsed by Oprah- so the movie was a “ shoo- in” to be popular.
The fact is that this premise of looking for something ‘more’ does have something to say to a stricken ‘consumer based’ western society looking for a deeper meaning to their empty , stressful lives.
Does the film fulfil that?
Unhappily, no.
While the book does address these issues in a much fuller way, the usual constraints of movie making ‘Hollywood style’ get in the way here. Trying to condense the book and using the big ‘bankable’ star power is what the studio system does best – and it so often falls very short of the mark.
It is cinematically gorgeous-Robert Richardson’s location scenery is almost worth sitting through nearly 2 and half hours! As always the camera ‘loves’ Ms Roberts (and Javier Bardem) and the locations themselves are stunning.
All of that Hollywood ‘fire power’ cannot carry this overly long movie, full of trite & obvious sentiment- with no real wit or spark. What a shame!
