Don't know what...Sorry about that last comment. Don't know what happened. But here it is again:<br /><br />I didn't like this movie all that much. And I should have. Nothing I can really put a finger on, just didn't gel well with me. Had nothing to do with the subject matter, just that the sum of its parts in my case did not work out at all. Even my wife, who'd read the book and loved it, didn't think the movie was beyond simply standard.<br /><br />But you're right, the performances were amazing! I honestly do believe Stanley Tucci should get an Oscar for this. And Ronan should be nominated, though not get the award. That should go to Merryl Streep for Julie & Julia.<br /><br />And, yes, I too saw J&J . . . except that I thoroughly LOVED IT! My interest in gourmet cooking and recent trip to Paris more than likely played into this.<br /><br />Although to be honest I thought the movie would have been just fine telling us the life story of Julia Child minus the modern day Amy Adams portions. Streep as Child was simply amazing to behold. I would have paid good money just to see 2 and a half hours of her on the screen playing that role.David Batistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16447011239238933425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2377798491811359486.post-11211640782845554962010-01-25T16:34:04.732-05:002010-01-25T16:34:04.732-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.David Batistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16447011239238933425noreply@blogger.com
