jmc_bksMeryl Streep rocks as Julia Child.
Amy Adams as Julie Powell? Meh, she seems like a one-note actress to me: here's another cute ingenue, nothing new.
And Stanley Tucci as Paul Child was fabulous.
All in all, a pretty good movie. Lots of beautiful food, beautiful places. I would love to see a biopic about Julia alone, because she seems to have lived such a varied and adventurous life.
Could've done with less talking with food in mouth and chewing with mouths open. Were the characters supposed to have no table manners? Or was that supposed to demonstrate how good the food was? Missed.
Completely unrelated, I love this commercial for the US Open Series:
