Meryl Streep did a great job but this movie sucked. Unless you love Julia Child and her life story and watching it interspersed with a lame, pathetic woman who claims as an adult to have never eaten an EGG, don't waste your time.

This movie sucked. It was very boring. Nothing "happens" in this movie. I feel like I should've been watching grass grow. The sorry excuse for a plot was so paper thin it was hard for me to enjoy.

It made me laugh and it made me cry. Streep is amazing. Amy Adams is delightful. Best of all the film introduces a whole new generation to Julia Child.

Great film and a wonderful performance by Meryl Streep. Her chemistry with Stanley Tucci is unmissable. A total winner!

What a satisfying film. Watching Meryl Streep is a lesson in film acting...and All the cameo parts are a treat to see. Delightful from start to finish.

Other than the spectacular performance of Meryl Streep, I found the movie completely uninteresting. Maybe I wasn't hungry.

Tremendous fun. Lots of warm, affectionate laughs. Very human. Meryl Steep channels Julia Childs.

Perfect movie. Makes you feel so good coming out of it. Meryl Streep deserves an Oscar hands down.

Meryl Streep is unbelievable. Her acting talent is always a thing to behold. Also, I personally regard Amy Adams as one of the most adorable actresses in the world. Combine with an entertaining screenplay and I was very happy with the movie.

Excellent! Streep should win another Oscar for fleshing out what could have been a farce of a character! Don't listen to all the complaining about Adams-she's good too! Excellent!

The Julia Child half (delightful, fun, smart) gets an 8/10 and the Julie Powell half (cutesy, sickly-sweet) gets a 0/10, which averages out to 4/10. And the best thing about Julie Powell

I loved everything about this movie! Pure enjoyment from beginning to end! Meryl becomes Julia and we get a glimpse of the person behind the celebrity! It's just wonderful!

Meryl Streep brilliantly becomes (not "acts as," "becomes") Julia Child and is surrounded with a great ensemble (Amy Adams is getting a bad wrap from some) in Nora Ephron's triumph.

Meryl deserves her 3rd Oscar for this! Adams and Tucci certainly add their share of charm in this movies.

Great Entertainment, excellent story line, good acting. Human. Feel-good. Anyone who is a Foodie - a cook, a chef, a wannabe chef or a wannabe writer identifies with the characters in this movie. I have spoken to so many who just loved it.

Flawed in the up and down of performances as well as a technical embarrassment of microphones in the screen and glitches.

Streep and Adams are terrific, as well as Tucci. I thought it dragged a little in the middle.

Julia, good. Julie, not so good. If I could, I would've skipped the whole Julie side of the movie. The acting on the Julie side just doesn't compare to that of the Julia side.

Took my Mom hoping that it would be passable and it turned out to be a very good movie. There was only one other guy in the theater and he liked it a lot more than he was expecting too! If you are considering it, then go see it.

Wonderful story of two women with time to make a small difference in many lives of other bored women. What a portrayal by Streep of a memorable chef!

Thoroughly entertaining. But don't take my word for it...a packed theatre laughed out loud at the many funny and endearing scenes. A little gem!

A very enjoyable movie. Meryl Streep plays another life-affirming role with audacity and style. The younger couple were a tad annoying, but otherwise a real treat...not just the food!

The premise seemed ridiculous to us, but both my husband and I saw this last night and were completely charmed. And of course Meryl Streep can do anything and everything, and does it here.

Meryl Streep was sheer perfection! Stanley Tucci was outstanding. Amy Adams was very good. I found this to be a sweet, tender romance of a film.

I am just a layman,not a movie connoisseur, but I and my famly enjoyed this movie more than any other movie we have seen in a long time. I thought the two female actresses balanced each other perfectly and the story was wonderful!

A summer popcorn movie is not one thing I usually like. Of course, this is not an exception. Meryl is good, as always, but the only point I give this movie is her. Nothing more should be rewarded.

If Meryl Streep doesn't win her 3rd (and well deserved) Oscar win from this, there is no justice. Just magnificent.

Streep brilliant portrayal of Julia Child aside, Julie & Julia is a foodie with a twist. Nora Ephron beautifully paints two different lives and perspectives to create one fascinating story.

This film could have been so much better as just a portrayal of the life and times of Julia Child. Amy Adams portrayal of Julie Powell (which is the centre of this film) is flat, boring and lifeless.
