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

Ephron conveys neither gustatory joy nor cinematic know-how. full review
When actors like these are cooking, it's better than haute cuisine. full review
