Bernadette and I saw the movie tonight after work. I arrived at Scarborough Town Center first, looked for some books I have been wanting to read, didn't find them, got sore feet and settled down on a bench in the mall to watch people--that never fails to entertain. Time passed quickly! I found Bernadette, we shared the 2-Mama-Burgers-and-a-Large-Fries-Special at A&W in the food court then went in to the theatre. We thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Meryl Streep was fabulous, that woman can do anything! I think she should get an Academy Award for her performance in this movie. She was outstanding! We laughed so much, I had to keep wiping my eyes. This movie is not just for women, not just for cooks, I really think there are ingredients in Julie and Julia for everyone: two lives with striking similarities, neither could cook in the beginning, both loved good food, two marriages two women from different eras searching for a purpose and experiencing similar victories and defeats, two great husbands. I remember Julia Child well, I watched her on television. Seeing Meryl Streep in her role, I forgot it was Meryl Streep and felt like I was watching Julia child again. She "nailed" it! I enjoyed the movie so much I think I will go back to see it again! This is the first time I have to say I enjoyed the movie MORE than the book. Speaking of books, now I want a copy of Mastering The Art of French Cooking.
