"In what way was it harsh?  The character Meryl Streep portrayed, as seen on the preview, is little different from the character Dan Akroyd played on SNL.  Granted, we are only seeing snippets of the movie, but from what I saw, Julia Child was no deeper or more complex than a pot of boiling water, and to top it off, from the trailer I got the feeling she was merely a silly woman who wanted to cook.  I think there was a lot more to her than that.  (And am I to believe she gave a raspberry to some lady who told her she had no talent for cooking?) Poetic license, blah blah.  Julia Child was a real person, and if the trailer is an indication of how she is portrayed in the movie, then she deserved a more respectful portrayal than that (but if the movie were true to her life, it never would have been made into a movie--certainly not enough of a hollywood-esque life to entice the masses). \n"
