You probably shouldn’t read this review. I’m just not the best judge of Nora Ephron’s new film “Julie & Julia.”
You see, I have never been a big fan of either Nora Ephron the director or Meryl Streep the actor. I know these two are darlings of the American cinema, and I acknowledge their many talents. I just don’t go ga-ga over them the way a lot of people do. (On the contrary, I simply adore Amy Adams... just not in this movie.)
There are a lot of things about “Julie & Julia” that are fantastically done and beautifully constructed. But it’s simply not my cup of tea, and as movies go, I found it painful to watch.
