JULIE & JULIA WILL SATISFY YOUR HUNGER FOR AN ENTERTAINING MOVIE

Julia Child’s infatuation with mid-century Paris and the city’s cuisine makes for a delicious true story about her life there in the delightful “Julie & Julia.” Meryl Streep is thoroughly convincing as the towering and enthusiastic Julia and Stanley Tucci is endearing as her supportive husband. Their eventful life in France is serious competition for Amy Adams’ contrasting life in modern New York, but Amy is up for the challenge. All in all, the movie is a triumph for Nora Ephron – we thought mostly women would love this movie, but men seem to like it just as much. We walked out of the movie craving beef bourguignon. And Julia would be proud to hear that her cookbooks have hit the best seller list again.

   The clips I saw of Meryl Streep as Julia Child made me want to see this movie — the clips of the “other half” of the movie ensured I will avoid it like the plague! (Yes, I know that is considered the “point” of the movie, which is why it is *not* a movie for me)

   Miley Cyrus is a whore. By the time she is 18, she will be a hard-core whore.

   The Evil Disney Empire behind MC makes them both creepy.

   Not interested in seeing a movie about people cooking and eating. And, I’m not buying Streep as Child. She just doesn’t have the “bombasticness” in my opinion.

   PS Gerard Vandenburg/Captain America why don’t you go back to your real name you asshole, you still make absolutely NO sense whatsoever, and NEVER did you misogynistic gay bashing prick!

   Well, I saw this movie and it was very entertaining! Saw lots of men in the audience. Sure wish I could find a great husband like Julia had.
