Mastering the Art of Eating Politely

MISSED MANNERS … It's one of the things you learn in Mom School. As soon as your child can pluck up Cheerios with his/her chubby little fingers, start with the rules. Rule Number 1: "Don't talk with your mouth full!" So, was Nora Ephron napping during that lesson? In "Julie & Julia," Ephron's picture about Julia Child, Chris Messina plays the husband - and taste tester - of blogger Julie Powell, who set out to cook every dish in Child's cookbook. Messina gobbled down his food so crudely - it was practically flying out of his mouth as he chomped away - that it turned our stomach. Movie? Delicious. Messina? Disgusting.
