Although some might say that this is a "girls' movie", I felt that it was a great film for anyone who loves to cook food and appreciates great acting. Meryl Streep gives an Oscar worthy performance as did Stanley Tucci. The two interweaving plots were brilllantly achieved by Nora Ephron. I'd recommend this movie to anyone who appreciates the sensuality of eating wonderful meals and who would love to spend a few hours with Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci and Amy Adams.
