That's it - I'm convinced. Meryl Streep can play any role - she is just spectacular as Julia Child. Not just in delivering Nora Ephron's clever, delicious lines, but also in the spaces between that really make a performance shine - the pauses, the breath, the facial expression and gesture. And Amy Adams, though not equal to Streep's absolute mastery, holds her own.
This is a great date movie - funny, sexy (I mean, what's sexier than Meryl Streep inhaling "butter . . . "), romantic. It reaffirms good food, true love and companionship, and vigorous LIFE.
