But ummmm.... how can I possibly, honestly, and objectively rate this movie? I don't think I can be objective.... I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!!!.... I swooned through the entire movie, crying in parts where I'm sure no one else thought it a teary moment, but... for me I was just so touched by the story. I was truly just overcome with the pure joy of watching the movie. I think Meryl did a stupendous performance, one that I'm sure Julia herself would have been honored to watch. But mostly I laughed through the entire movie.
Amy Adams also gave a wonderful performance, but the character in general grated on my nerves just because the kitchen just isn't a place for prissy pants or pissy fits. The movie could have left out the whole Julie blog part and filled those cut out parts with more of Paul and Julia's lives, up until their deaths. No offense to Julie.... I'm doing the same thing you did with the cooking my way through Julia's cookbook and blogging about the experience, and I'm glad that I feel you did become a better person because of your experience and inspiration with your Julia Project, but I'm twice your age and have been cooking twice as long as you and I just don't fear anything about cooking anything, therefore, I have no patience for the waste of energy on temper tantrums because something didn't come out like you wanted/expected. You just deal with it, fix it, or .... do over.... simple as that.... as someone once said... cleaned up version! Ha Ha! "Pooh happens!!".
Beautiful summer night... good friends... much anticipated movie, meeting and/or exceeding expectations... tasty nibbles and delightful conversation at pub after movie... Friday night date night with the one you love!.... PRICELESS!!!!!!
