New Movie Review: Julie & Julia By Laura Cantwell  |
| |
Julie & Julia is a heart-warming comedy that will melt your heart into butter. It is based on the true stories of Julia Child, the world famous cook, and Julie Powell, who wrote a blog while cooking her way through one of Child’s cookbooks. Even though these two women are separated by space and time, they are bonded to one another. This movie will have you laughing and crying with Julie and Julia until the very end.
Julie Powell (Amy Adams) is a frustrated temp secretary in New York City whose only release is cooking after a long day. She needs a change in her life, so she decides to cook her way through Mastering the Art of French Cooking and blog about it. Her side of the story follows the quest to finish 524 recipes in 365 days and how her blog, The Julie/Julia Project, was made into a book.
Julia Child (Meryl Streep) was lost and looking for something to do in Paris during the 1940s and 50s. The only things she loved more than her husband, Paul, was eating and butter. So, she decides to enroll in Le Cordon Blue cooking school in Paris. Her side of the story chronicles her relationship with Paul and the creation of Mastering the Art of French Cooking,
The story is about how these two women found themselves and are connected by their love and passion of cooking. It shows how both of these women came from nothing to become something through food.
Meryl Streep plays an excellent Julia Child. She got the look and mannerisms down and was very believable. Amy Adams plays a role as a lost powerless secretary very well. Her emotions really come alive on the big screen. The plot was interesting because of the historical context and the old TV footage. If you want to go see a feel good movie that will make you want to go out and find your passion, this is that movie.
And always… Bon appetit.
