About the only thing I liked about this movie was the experience of difference cultures and the Italians pointing out that Americans work too much. Beyond that I greatly disliked it. I understand it is much more of a movie for women but I like a lot of chick flicks. What I didn't like about this movie was how it seemed to condone making choices on a whim without a second thought or without trying to work out your problems. Basically I didn't like how it seemed to condone the thinking of modern America. Sure, I understand that we do these things and that from those mistakes we must learn but I hardly got that from this movie. Rather I got all kinds of other mixed messages, many of them negative, all jumbled into one film that seemed to lack enough coherence. I read plots for the film and I can't figure out where parts of those plots were ever brought out. And it certainly feels much too long. It's as long as Inception after all but feels twice as long. It didn't help that I already didn't like the character from the start. She annoyed me. I liked nothing about her. I'm not a huge fan of Julia Roberts either. But that really wasn't why I didn't like her character.
