Query: This is one time I'm certain the movie will be better than the book!

I managed to get through the book, because it became my own insane Julie/Julia/Audrey project. What a waste of my time. I really don't recall any "laugh out loud" moments as promised by the press release. I don't even like the author very much. Only at the second (or was it third) ending did I hold out any hope that Santa finally delivered Julie Powell's much overdo maturity. I was hoping for some more parallels to Julia Child. For that, I blame the movie hype (which made me want to read the book in the first place). I'm certain that Nora Ephron's magic will save this tale - in fact, I'm counting on it.
