sweet, not saccharine

from East Hollywood
Switching back and fourth between parallel stories is jarring at first and I was reluctant to leave Streep's lovable caricature of Child for the downward spiral of Adams' Julie. But, before too long, I grew to love her too. Amy Adams gives a sincere performance and one that departs from her norm by not leaving you with a toothache. Meryl, on the other hand, takes her turn at a larger-than-life character and, although thoroughly enjoyable, feels like Julia Child could never have possibly existed. She seemed more like a fairy godmother than a real person. Still, good movie, very satisfying. See it early and have dinner reservations at a great French restaurant afterwords. You'll be craving some of the delicious food cooked up in the movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
