Well I watched it. It was a decent movie. My daughter rented it and left half way through...so I am supposing the under 20 crowd didn't watch much of it.
It wasn't nearly the best Streep preformacne I've seen. In my opinion Winslets performances in Revolutionary Road and The Reader were both better than Meryl's in this movie.
And that's a lot of dang butter, my arteries closed up just looking at it all. But there are only four ingredients to french cooking anyway, butter, butter, butter and more butter, of course it tastes good. However they were dead on about brie being the best cheese ever, especially if it's baked and then spread on an apply slice with a bit of good wine and a small piece of bread.
