LOVED this movie; have seen it twice & will probably go again. Meryl Streep gives a spot on performance as Julia Child, from the movement and mannerisms to that marvelously distinctive voice. What a chameleon she is. Amy Adams' Julie was believably fragile, self-absorbed, lost and ultimately found through her relationship with Julia. Stanley Tuccci and Chris Messina give heart-warming performances as the patient, loving and strongly supporting husbands. And the FOOD! I think I gained 5 lbs just watching & salivating. This is a foodie's delight. I can't believe that Mastering the Art of French Cooking isn't just flying off the shelves. I'm getting mine today!
