Movies that feel likeEat Pray Love (2010)

A married woman realizes how unhappy her marriage really is, and that her life needs to go in a different direction. After a painful divorce, she takes off on a round-the-world journey to "find herself".

If you loved Eat Pray Love, the closest films we have are One Day (2011), Water for Elephants (2011) and The Longest Ride (2015). All three share Eat Pray Love's contemplative and romantic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Medicine for Melancholy (2009).
