I can assure you it's not going to diminish you manliness in any way and will awake your appetites, big time.The world has given birth to so many breathtakingly beautiful places and regions. Not to be afraid to feel identified or even chocked up. I will challenge other members of my sex to go and see it. I also should mention that James Franco plays a young actor - not what I call a stretch - considering he is my favorite of the young actors around. I think I may see the film a second time just to see that scene again. Feeling something for somebody else's feelings.

I'm not going to tell you what it is but let me just say that involves his son and gives us, finally, a side of Julia we didn't know how much we missed. India brings the wonderful Richard Jenkins and a solid piece of advise: 'don't give up on love' Bali, well, Bali is something else and it is there that Javier Bardem comes into the picture and provides us with the best scene in the film. Here, strangely enough, he looks small but charming all the same.

He is a good looking guy that after appearing in the Italian version of the Big Brother reality show, he became a sort of local movie star and shows promising acting chops. CGI? Luca Argentero plays Julia's tutor/tourist guide. Italy, Rome and even Naples look so clean that I hardly recognized it. I glanced at my watch, I was ready to run into the nearest Italian restaurant and have a relationship with a pizza myself. In Italy, Julia eats and our own gastric juices start to do their thing. Julia's husband, played beautifully by Billy Crudup, accuses her of leaving the marriage without an explanation. Here, the filmmakers don't shy away from the conflict and the balance is real. I don't have the fears that, Jay Leno for instance, shows, when confronted by a 'chick flick' If anything 'Eat Pray Love' proves that men and women are not that far apart, we simply deal with the same problems in different ways. I must also say I'm a guy, heterosexual, but not fanatically so.

So, to see her play a woman facing a sort of middle age crisis makes you look inwards with a smile, the nervous kind. I'm only a few years younger than Julia Roberts which means we have grown together. We develop a sort of craving to see them again. It is that mysterious link that film stars create with their audiences.

Most people I know are going to see this film for Julia Roberts.
