I can totally see where you are coming from with your review, but to be honest, my cinematic love for Meryl Streep apparently knows no bounds. She’s wonderful even in the worst film (there’s haven’t been many – She-Devil, anyone?), and she is worth the price of admission in my book.

This is certainly not the best movie I have ever seen, but the two stars are still fantastic! Meryl Streep works her magic again and Amy Adams continues to sparkle! If it weren’t for these two great actresses, I agree, the movie would be a total dud. Overall, a charming movie worth watching once.

I loved this movie. I love to cook, and this movie was right up my alley. I was never a fan of Julia Child, but I thought Meryl Streep did a fantastic job. I thought it was a very entertaining movie, and the food looked fantastic! (TAKING WOODSTOCK, Detroit, MI)

I totally disagree with the mix reviews on the Julie & Julia. Anything with Meryl Streep merits attention and she delivers another wonderful, Oscar-worthy performance. Amy Adams is quicky becoming one of the most delightful and very watchable upcoming actress. The parallels to both stories of Julie & Julia was refreshing and a Joy to watch. All I can say is “YUM”!

I saw Julie & Julia with my grandmother and sister, which was the perfect group to go with to see this movie. But personally I only went to see this movie because of Meryl Streep; she was amazing as Julia Child. Amy Adams on the other hand was rather disappointing, more disappointing than her role as Debra Messing’s sister in the movie The Wedding Date. I hated her and her hair in that movie.

I think this movie should’ve been called Julia and Julie. That and Julie does not respect Julia whatsoever in her “blog.” She cusses and belittles Julia when the recipes aren’t right. She just looks cute because Amy Adam is so wonderful.

I like this “cooking” movie… The part played by Meryl were just fine.
Alas, the part played by Amy Adams was kinda sadder. The movie dragged
a little for me with her morsels. Overall, this movie is a great tribute to cooking.

I loved this movie too. I read the book (not the blog) and I thought that it was great how Nora Ephron integrated the story of Julia Child into the original story in the book. I saw great marriages, which take WORK, which people ought to remember. And I saw some great examples of women finding their way… I thought it was lovely.

If you’ve ever actually read the J&J blog, Julie Powell had the same crazy saint-like admiration for Julia Childs that Amy Adams portrayed in the movie. I definitely agree though, Amy Adams was annoying, for loss of a better word. I enjoyed the movie though, excluding the part about the blogging.

I think you’re trying too hard. This was a wonderful movie with four fine actors. Of course Meryl ate the scenery. She’s Meryl Streep. Amy Adams was wonderful and undeserving of the silly rationale critics have heaped upon her. This movie works very well, thank you. Amy Adams is beautiful and engaging and deserves better.

I also agree you got it wrong, but I am sure it was your opinion.
I was dragged by the girlfriend to see this and was not expecting much but we both really liked it. Great date movie even for people who did not grow up with Julia on TV.
I must say the demographics were really unusual in the theater. I estimate that 1/3 of the crowd was over 65.
The 70+ year old lady with a cane in front of us stood up at the end and gave it a standing ovation.

You’ve got this all wrong. Both my husband and I thought it was an excellent movie. It was not an action movie or full of sex and violence like so many are these days. It is a wonderful story about a lovely, odd but funny Icon in the cooking world and how someone found her soul in the cooking. Meryl Streep was excellent and continued the character through out the entire movie. She deserves an oscar.
