If you do not fall into any of the above categories, then by all means, get thee to the nearest theater and see this fine film. It was so thoroughly satisfying to me that I went with my two older girls, came home and immediately dragged my husband to it (he liked it too).





This is the kind of movie review I appreciate. I’ve now added it to my long list of films I must see.
Yea! I’ve been wanting to see it, so I’m glad to know it’s good! How awesome that you went to see it twice!
woohoo! glad it was good. I’ll have to drag my hubby to it when he gets home. feel like babysitting?
trips to the theatre are few and far between. usually reserved for special occasions – like taking the kids to see g-force last week. but i definitely plan to put it on the netflix queue!
I want to see this movie. I’m so glad it is as good as it looks in the previews.
John and I loved this too. Am scheming about taking some of my big girls with me next.

That’s all I needed to hear. We generally don’t go to the movies, but this was the first in a long time that made me want to rise to the challenge of finding a sitter for my crew. I love to cook, and Julia Child cracks me up.
Maybe my husband and I can arrange a date night to go see this. He trained as a professional chef (though that’s not what he does now) and loves watching food films.
The title of your post terrified me! And then I read it….. My friend Judy and I were going to go and see it this weekend, but she is on vacation, so we are going this Friday. Yeah! I’m so glad you liked it and your review is enticing!

Oooh – I can’t wait to see this! Unfortunately, I may have to wait until it’s at our local redbox…
Wonderful! I wanted to see this movie, but was not sure if it would be good. Now it is a must-see.
Totally agree! Took myself to the movies alone today, and it was a lovely way to spend the afternoon. Yay!
HEY! Surprise! Your Dad said he’d go with me! I told him you commanded it. Hahaha.
I dunno, Mom…when I thought about it later it occured to me that Dad fits into the top TWO categories on my list above…I hope he can stand watching people enjoy their food!
My sweetheart and I went last night. What a beautiful, beautiful movie.
Great movie…great laughs, sweet tears…
mil and puddles are going to go watch it with me next…
I’m looking forward to see that movie…, it has Meryl Streep in it!
I LOVED this movie. I saw it yesterday and then HAD to blog about it. You hit the nail on the head!
I’ve wanted to go and see this and now you’ve convinced me! My Sister’s Keeper was good too
I loved it too! Wish they’d left out the couple curse words and left the “chemistry” to just kissing on the couch because then my Julia-Child/Martha-Stewart-in-Training could have watched it too. Oh well. Still a wonderful movie.
