OMG Meryl always make my smile/laugh. I so wish I was there to see it live. thanks for posting

[@EntFan1]

I love love lovvvvvvvee Meryl Streep's sense of humor. Haha when she said "Bon Appetit". LMAO!!

[@mkc1956]

Meryl and Stanley are so talented and awesome!!♥

[@p8alan]

gosh would love to see the rest of it please double please

[@aquamaureen13]

I love Meryl's laugh at 8:23 .....it's so free, so loose and open. You can tell she's really comofrtable with herself, and not worried about what people think. You can tell a lot about people when they laugh, and she just lets herself go. Yet ANOTHER reason why Meryl is my favorite person in the world

[@ericawearsprada]

[@marlynn4375]

I loved everything about this movie especially the performances, who other than Meryl could play Julia Childs no one that I could think of. Nora's script brilliant, Stanley Tucci, excellent I love everything he has done. Now that Nora is gone, who is going to write scripts for Meryl, R.I.P NORA I will miss your brilliant writing and directing.

[@Mr1958louief]

Outstanding!!

[@reinadegrillos]

Stanley es awesome! Great actor! and what can one say about Meryl?

[@mcklesphere]

They are talking about a line in a cooking book. Meryl found a chicken recipe and Meryl Streep can't understand the sentence that's in french. So Stanley Tucci said that wash the thighs of the chicken, and put stuff inside the hen until the hen can't the stuffing inside of her anymore.

[@powerprincessz]

8:23 that laugh is haarious..oh meryl

[@p8alan]

this movie was Awesome but i cant wait till christmas day to see Its Complicated hopefully as funny as it seems she'll take number 1 I have faith in her fans

[@Redhairedlady65]

@spaceturtlesreturn Spacey and Tucci are both great actors and I admire them. But they are so different. Spaceys performances are just brilliant. In Interviews he is always charming, funny, a perfect entertainer. Tucci is an intellectual. Sometimes just a second view shows you, how good he really is. In interviews he prefers to talk about his work instead of cracking jokes. If I ever would have the chance to talk to one of them, it would be a difficult choice. But I would decide for Tucci.

[@meryldepp]

Omg please, i'm french. Can someone explain me what Nora's saying at 10:52 which is so funny ?? lol Great interview ! I love everytime Meryl says "Bon appétit" lol

[@danielwilliams2203]

Marie Baudino it’s a sexual joke. The recipe calls for stuffing the chicken. In the context of a couple in bed this could be taken to be about the sexual act. The humor is derived from the double meaning.

[@VintageDandy]

To the Times web team: do you realize KZbin supports widescreen video now, right? You don't have to letterbox it, which only makes it appear surrounded by a square box.

[@hullabaloo0107]

[@merylfan87]

omg meryl laugh at 8:23 ahahahahahha i love you meryl

[@hullabaloo0107]
