Hey, you know what? That Meryl Streep is pretty good.

if there's only one reason to see this it's streep's glorious refusal to whatever "older" woman ought to be, do, and say, enlivening this mere personality toss-off by some and then some. stanley tucci holds up before her assault on preconcieved thoughts and notions, but only bar...( read more)

Critic Reviews
Ephron does the smart thing in Julie & Julia and lets Streep carry the day, with a minimum of embellishment. full review
It's a light and entertaining treat, with winning performances, sharp writing and some happy surprises. full review
Loved the first course, hated the second. full review
Julie & Julia proceeds with such ease and charm that its audacity is easy to miss. full review
Nora Ephron's Julie & Julia is one-half delightful and one-half disappointing; luckily, the delightful part stays with you while the rest fades away. full review
The ideal recipe has a special ingredient that can lift a dish from meh to memorable. Meryl Streep -- at her brilliant, beguiling best -- is the spice that does the trick for the yummy Julie & Julia. full review
The joys of the Julia parts are cumulative, and addictive. The Julie parts keep forcing us to go cold turkey. full review
Julie & Julia is not lacking in entertainment value, especially with the Streep performance. But if the men had been portrayed as more high-spirited, it might have taken on intriguing dimensions. full review
Ephron conveys neither gustatory joy nor cinematic know-how. full review
