Meryl Streep steals the show in her portrayal of Julia Child. She is full of life, very animated and not ready to take no for an answer from anybody. I think that Meryl Streep could win an Oscar for this performance. If I had an extra one laying around the house I'd mail it to her. Stanley Tucci plays the perfect, patient, understanding, supportive husband. Amy Adams does a great job as the frustrated young wife and blogger who seeks to do all of Child's recipes in the course of a year. Chris Messina is the supportive, but sometimes, not so patient husband.
The story is beautifully done and it is wonderful how the two stories parallel each other years apart.
This movie gets four stars out of four. Even absent football and geocaching.
Grab your spouse and go see this movie.

I loved it too!
I can't wait to see it. I probably will wait for the DVD because there are no movie theaters in the boonies!

My wife and I really liked it, too. I thought the Julie storyline wasn't as robust as the one about Julia, though. Of course, with the roll Meryl Streep is on lately, it would be hard to top her in anything.
Nice review. This is one I want to see.
I'm dying to see that movie!

I loved it too. It was great.
I ended up buying the DVD and have watched it several times. Meryl Streep is my favorite actress and she does a fabulous job as Julia, it blows me away how much she sounds exactly like her!
Bon Appetit!
