   I wish I could split this vote; 8 for Julia, 3 for Julie. The problem with this film is Nora Ephron. She took 2 interesting books and reduced the plot to a Cliff Notes version and managed to make both stories uninteresting. But even Nora Ephron could not hide the potential of a truly great film based on the life of Julia Child. I found myself wanting more. More story, more character, more drama. A bio flick about Julia Child would have been fascinating. Tell us about her days in Ceylon. Tell us about her TV days. Tell us more about her relationship with Paul Child. All we get is snipes and tidbits here and there delivering in an incomplete story. The performances by the great Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci stand out as a testimonial of what could have been.

Instead we get a side story with Amy Adams as Julie playing a typical Ephron character - obsessive, depressing, and tiresome.… Expand

   Rip your hair out by it's roots, scream at the top of your lungs, pound head against the wall infuriating! The premise is ridiculous. Omg, look at me I have a boring life and I'm going to write a blog about it. Aren't I so interesting and clever? NOOOO!!! Stop it. Meryl Streep's accent is nails on chalk board and Amy Adams is one determined but you'd never- know-it fame whore leaching off her fame. It will soon fade away and be forgotten, thank you Julia Child's ghost.… Expand
