This movie is a hoot! Meryl Streep did a great job capturing the real Julia and her love of food.
This movie may not be for everyone. We saw it with my brother and sister- in-law, both of whom look at food as just food, never appreciating it for the flavor, texture and joy that it provides. They thought it was dry in some areas. My husband and I, on the other hand spend our weekends in the kitchen making gourmet meals for our friends often using Julia's receipies. We loved the film! My only thought was that I would like to see a film just based on the life of Julia herself. She lived such an adventure filled life that it would be great on film.
