Well Mr. Klein,
now we will get to see just how good an actress Ms. Streep can be.
Streep has demonstrated tha she is a total leftist America hater over the years.
Can she fake conservatism convincingly?
Pelligrino| 2.8.11 @ 1:04PM
Amazing. Maybe Ms. Streep will finally learn a thing or two about RIGHT thinking in her life?
Who did this casting?
One can hope, but not too much. My initial take: This is shameful. Lady Thatcher still lives. So within her lifetime she will see herself presented by a two-bit nothing human who has nothing of value to add to the human race.
Maybe she'll have to stay on-script and the script will be well written?
Well, if nothing else, this might help younger people who do not know the Maggie Thatcher of the 1980's appreciate what a real leader is supposed to be. Lady Thatcher is worth emulating.

another hit piece by a pieces of hollywood trash.
can hollywood put out a truthful movie of a true conservative? i think not.

Meryl Streep was very, very good as Julia Child. The movie was only so/so, but Streep was a hoot.

Pretty hard to see how a movie about a politician can sustain the interest of the average moviegoer without making the thing a sham. How many moviegoers care about Thatcherism economics or the poll tax, which bounced her out of office?
