I've been seeing Streep and Adams doing many interviews lately along with viewing several previews.

So glad you liked the movie Azzalea; I know I would love it also! Streep said with all the eating, she did gain some pounds. She said she even had to learn how to chop food the way Julia did; however, Meryl learned to chop the 'correct' way (the way most chefs do). I thought that was interesting as I hadn't noticed Julia's different way of doing it, did you?

I can't wait to see it. I will be taking care of a friend after day surgery next week, maybe I can sneak her out of the house for this movie.

I remember my mom watching Julia Child all the time. I thought she was a hoot. But she sure did make some strange things. I remember when she cooked a duck or goose or some huge bird....kinda freaked me out! She certainly was a character. I'd love to see the movie. Thanks for the review. Bon appetit!

I saw it this afternoon. I really enjoyed it. Meryl Streep looked just like Julia Child.

Isn't it amazing how Meryl Streep can change her appearance to match the character she's playing? Downright spooky!

Can't wait to see it when I get back!

I adore Meryl Streep, and can't wait to see the movie! Thanks for the review.

It's on my to see list too. I love Meryl Streep.

I want to see this too, didn't "see" Meryl Streep doing Julia Child, though, until I saw the pictures. Wow. I used to watch Julia Child occationally growing up.

Azzalea- Nora Ephron said she hopes everyone leaves the theater starving. Did it effect you that way? And how is your ankle doing?

I'm planning on seeing the movies this week.

I just got home from seeing it and just loved it. Everyone was laughing and really enjoying the movie. i want to go see it again. Meryl Streep did a wonderful job her character is so believable you really think it is Julia Child.

No i didn't think about eating after the movie.

I'm going to see it tomorrow - really looking forward to it.

I read (in Country Living, possibly) that some effort was made to recreate Julia Child's exact kitchen. Her husband picked out the original paint, and it took the movie people several tries to get it right. Also, Julia's counters were higher than normal because she was so tall. I doubt they raised them for Meryl, however.

I saw it today on an impulse. I went to Sears to pick up saw blades and the lady in front of me was in a hurry because she was going to see Julia and Julie and was afraid she'd be late. I looked at my watch and thought 'Hey, why not?'

I thoroughly enjoyed it. Think I'll make Boeuf Bourguignonne A La Julia this weekend.

Here's an interesting note. Those of you who have seen the movie know that there was a little disagreement among the original 3 authors of Mastering the Art of French Cooking as to how much each contributed. I have the 2 volume set which was published in 1983 and it's interesting to note that while all 3 are listed as authors for Volume one there are only 2 authors for Volume two- Julia and Simca.

I know - it's a minor point.

Saw it tonight and loved it!! A must see movie.
