I've been a fan of Amy Adams for a while but this film might be the one that makes me fall completely in love with her. It's good to see her playing a normal person; I was afraid that she was always playing "characters" and never really seemed completely grounded in the real world. While her character Julie does have her moments, she seems like the most "normal" modern person that Adams has played since perhaps Ricky Bobby's assistant in "Talladega Nights".

As for Meryl Streep, her take on Julia Childs seems amazing and kudos to the cinematographer for making her seem like the gigantic Childs (Streep is 5'6). Other actors should look to Streep for direction in how to move into comedy without selling one's soul.

This film definitely moves into my top ten most anticipated films (it comes out August 7th).
