"Saw the movie, and found it delightful.  Is it one of the great movies of all time?  No, of course not.  But I don't understand why it's getting negative reviews. I thought it accomplished what it set out to do and stayed fairly true to both books.  Nora Ephron took great care to draw the parallels between the two women's lives, and while some think she hammered that point too much, I think it wasn't too much for a movie aimed at a general audience.  I found the first few moments pretty disturbing, because Meryl Streep really does capture Julia, and for some reason it kicked up some fresh grief over losing her.  Fairly quickly, however, it dived into the story, and some of the scenes were hilarious.  I found it to be a very entertaining movie, and one that didn't significantly depart from the real story, as so many modern productions do, just to enhance the action for the movie audience. Keep in mind that people like us are not the audience; it's intended for the general public and I think it very successfully introduces dear Julia to the next generation of cooks. \n"
