An average movie

I wasn't expecting much from this flick but since my wife was really eager to watch it, I thought I should give it a try. Unfortunately, it turned out to be really average. It’s too bad because I think  it actually had some potential. Basically, it was about a woman going into a middle-life crisis and she decides to travel to 3 different countries during a year. It does sound pretty neat, doesn't it? However, the whole thing turned out to be surprisingly dull. In fact, it reminded me of 'American Beauty'. In this great flick, the main character, when facing middle-life crisis, actually stays at home, smokes some weed, and goes to work for a fast-food chain. It did sound dull but it turned out to be just so fascinating to watch. In this movie, it was just the opposite. Travelling around the world sounds and should be damned exciting but it wasn't because none of the characters involved was really interesting and when you have such a supporting cast including Billy Crudup, James Franco, Javier Bardem and Richard Jenkins, it is a damned shame. Eventually, the most annoying character was the main character portrayed by Julia Roberts. I mean, there was not a moment into the whole movie during which I could identify with her and it had nothing to do with the fact that she was a womand and I am a man. Furthermore, the 3 exotic location were really poorly used as they just looked like some postcards and all the locals were so stereotypically portrayed, it was just really annoying to watch. To conclude, I was seen worse movies but it was still really weak and eventually, it is not really worth a look.
