Trivia: At the very end, when Eric and Julie go to the Smithsonian to see Julia Childs' kitchen, there is a picture on the wall of Meryl as Julia, and there is another picture, this one of the real Julia Childs.

Factual error: Julia Child's address on the envelope that she received from publishing company Alfred A Knopf contains a zip code. The envelope contains a letter informing Julia that Knopf wanted to publish her cookbook. That first cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, was first published in 1961. The US Post Office didn't initiate zip codes until 1963.
