So I definitely will wait for the film. I knew that Streep had the role of Julia Child, but didn't know about Tucci. He's my favorite since seeing Big Night. A film I enjoy seeing once a year, never get enough of it.

Noticed you liked The Glass Castle, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also about a dysfunctional family (and also a bit dark). I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:
