My predicted ratings for this film:
Quality: * * * (The third star is for Meryl's acting)
Entertainment: * * *
I Want To See It Anyway Seal of Approval
I saw this film after I saw Inglourious Basterds so of course it couldn't compare in overall quality and entertainment, but it was surprisingly good. Benny even liked it. The acting is great (as predicted) and the story is interesting. Meryl is hilarious as Julia Child. Amy Adams is depressing as Julie, but that is to be expected. The character was depressed. I really related to both characters, so I cried for half the film. Turns out it was a tissue film!
This is a film you can see on a date instead of The Time Traveler's Wife. It is far more likely that you will both enjoy this film then it is that you will like that one. Every guy I know who has seen Julie and Julia didn't hate it. That's a good thing for a chick flick.
For a rating, it's some where in-between a 3 and 4 star movie. I'll go ahead and bump it up one for being funny and accessible to both men and women. Meryl could get her next Oscar nom for this one, ya'll.
