Loved this movie! It really seemed to accurately portray Julia Child, and Meryl was simply amazing. Made me want to go home and cook. We have lost a lot of the art of cooking (and eating!) and it's so nice to have a movie that reminds us of that simple joy.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Everything from the stroyline to the acting was excellent. Merryl Streep was spot on with Julia's mannerisms. I laughed so hard tears came to my eyes on a few scenes. Loved it!
If you like food and great acting, its a must see!

While I do believe Ms. Streep overshadowed the younger Ms. Adams a bit, the film was overall balanced very well. Funny, with a real plot...novel these days. Paris was beautifully done in period. Loved it.

I saw this movie at 9:30 PM and it kept me interested all throughout. Meryl Streep, Amy Adams, and Stanley Tucci were superb. Combining these two stories was clever and interesting. It reminded me of The Hours by Michael Cunningham but on a lighter note. Go and see!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I loved Meryl Streep as Julia Child. What a force she is on screen!! The story line following her life was brilliant. Julie Powell, on the other hand, came off as a whiny, insecure 'S@x in the City' type character. Watching Julie's hubby smacking his lips and chewing with his mouth open on the big screen was disgusting. I felt as if I was watching two movies; one I loved and the other I hated.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The actresses who played Julie and Julia were so heartfelt that they seemed to be people that you knew personally!
Those who love to cook will love this movie. It was real and genuinely funny as well. Go see this movie, you will cheer!

Brilliant performance by Meryl Streep - superb performances by everyone else - the chemistry between the partners of both couples was phenomenal and made the whole film magical. And of course, it makes you want to start cooking immediately. On the way out, five people were overheard saying, "Let's go get the cookbook immediately!" Meryl Streep's performance is Oscar material for certain.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Any Adams was perfect for Julie she is adorable. I left the movie thinking Meryl was Julia Child and then reminded myself Julia was no longer with us!!
This was a beautiful story of the struggles of two women with loving husbands, struggling to find meaning and direction in their lives and doing it through their love of cooking.
It was funny and heartwarming and well done.
It is an uplifting movie. Anyone who wants to see something positive, without violence and inapppropriate behavior-will want see this. We need more movies like this!!!

Although over two hours in length, you never notice it while watching these two women's stories weave in and out effortlessly.
Streep & Tucci truly made a magical couple, and were an absolute joy to watch. The scenes with Julia Childs and her sister together were, by themselves, worth the price of admission! And I'm not even much of a Meryl Streep fan...

I have discovered in this movie that Stanley Tucci and Meryl Streep belong together in every movie! They were wonderful and witty! The acting in this movie is superb! The food looks delicious! Thankfully we ate before we went. I didn't give it 5 stars for its ending. It's based on a true story so I guess honesty was the best policy. My husband and I laughed throughout the movie and couldn't wait for Julia and Paul to come on, they are a delight!

I did something I have never done before after this movie. I came home and sent an email to all of my friends telling them they have to see this movie! I enjoyed everything about it. Everything was of interest to me, the period costumes, the modern day shots of NYC, the cooking tips and the lovely story and humor. I appreciated the use of curse words more realistically than in most movies, just rarely when angered or surprised, not every other word! And I loved the honesty of Julie and her life as she turned 30. I related to the whole movie and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. So as I said to all my friends via email- YOU MUST SEE THIS MOVIE!!!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
