Movie Review: Julie and Julia

Finally watched this over the weekend, and what a joy! If you love food and blogging... this movie's for you. It tells parallel stories, weaving together two separate books: "My Life in France", by Julia Child, and "Julie and Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously", by Julie Powell.

It's the story of a young woman, Julie ~ somewhat at odds with herself ~ deciding to cook her way through Julia Child's entire first cookbook: Mastering the Art of French Cooking ~ while also telling the story of Julia's years in Paris, where she first learned to cook, and began her cookbook writing career.

Beautifully told story. The men in both of their lives are likewise wonderful.
I figure *this* is a blogging community, and *needs* to know about this movie! Enjoy!!!

Five stars ~ a classic in the making.





SPOILER ALERT (minor)


lalalalala ~ giving you time to stop reading and your eyes to stop wandering ~ lalalalala


And one more time... to avert your eyes... before you see:
They show the entire Dan Aykroyd skit of him doing Julia Child on SNL! :-D
