ChocolateLady	Posted - 02/15/2012 : 10:03:36 My only comment - no Streep AGAIN! Blech, I cannot handle that woman in dramas. My husband REFUSES to see this film, by the way. Mostly because he hated Thatcher and what she did to his country, but also it would be a double disaster to have to watch Streep churn out another mechanical dramatic performance (in which you can almost see her thinking "I'm going to get lots of nominations and awards with this performance" while she's on screen).
