or is Julie and Julia really really dull?

[Plathism]

I was totally expecting to love it but Meryl Streep's voice is grating and I just don't care about her stupid cookbook.

[squoosh]

I love Stanley Tucci! Mmmm mmmm

[Peanate]

I read the book about 5 years ago and loved it - enough to look up the blog and read that too from start to finish.

I really wanted to love the movie too, but it was just missing something....

[Peanate]

Oh my god, I've just clicked through to Blast's link and that reminded me that I've read 'Cleaved' too.

Fuck me, that was not what I was expecting for her sequel AT ALL.

I've obviously managed to bleach it from my brain until now!

[TheRealFellatio]

Pantomime talling that is genius, can't stop laughing.

[TheRealFellatio]

another incredibly dull film of the same ilk is that Eat Love Pray, shite, or whatever it was called. It was about four and half hours of complete tedium.

[HazeltheMcWitch]

Yeah, but Felly, at least Eat Pray love had some pretty scenery.
And it would make a natty slogan to stick to your wall.

[SlimFitWellies]

I could not get through the film, and I love cooking and reading food blogs also.

[squoosh]

I dodged Eat Pray Love. Wasn't it about a rich white American woman who frolics around the world on a pseudo spiritual journey of self discovery wank?

Can't be doing with that. Also, Julia Roberts is in it.

[TobyLerone]

I really loved it. And I loved Julia, although Julie was a bit of a knob.

[MusicalEndorphins]

Hated Eat Love Pray...I was looking forward to it...Julia Roberts was so unlikable I turned it off before it was over.
I loved the film Tortilla Soup...I must like watching people cooking.

[DonDrapersAltrEgoBigglesDraper]

But Meryl's accent was spot on - as usual when she's 'doing' someone, it's like actually watching that person!

I remember watching Julia Childs cookery programmes when I was little, and her impersonation is uncanny.

I really enjoyed the film, so YABU!
