  • Reviewer Rating Review
    Bryan Lienesch74 - Without spoiling anything for future viewers, the movie strings you along for two hours without tying up perhaps the most important loose end.
    Rob from GuysFilmQuest64 - The fact that I enjoy cooking (it helps with the ladies and helps ensure meals aren’t terrible) AND Amy Adams made this film a decent option for me. The fact that it was nominated for Best Picture helped encourage its viewing even more. I’m not typically a Meryl Streep fan, but her portrayal of the strong-willed and quirky Julia Child was entertaining enough.
