"Julia & Julia" starring Meryl Streep as Julia Child and Amy Adams as Julie Powell is a very interestingly funny movie. The movie is full of food and I suggest you watch after you eat or else you'd be hungry after it's finished.

It starts with Julia Child's road to success, starting with Paul Child (Stanley Tucci) and Julia staying in Paris for a bit and getting used to Paris' awesome food, and the Versaille-like apartment they live in. Julia is tired of having nothing to do and thinks that she loves to eat and enjoy good food, she goes to earn to cook at Le Cordon Bleu, an exclusive school for culinary arts. And then there's another story about an office worker named Julie who feels she's not getting anywhere with her current job and with her supportive husband, she starts a blog with a goal, cook all 524 dishes in "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" in 365 days, in a tiny apartment over a pizzeria, risking her own well-being, her marriage, and her cat's well-being. She claims she never gets anything done because she has ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and wants this to be the first thing she ever gets done.

The two stories are similar, one a bit older, one more modern. The two characters are similarly alike but with a wee bit of differences.

The movie is based on two true stories, one by Julia Child called "My Life in France" and one by Julie Powell called "Julie & Julia".

The movie is mostly satisfying to women and foodies. Food-wise, it has a LOT of food! This movie is guaranteed to make you hungry if you watch it on an empty stomach and especially that cake...


Recommended to: Women, housewives, foodies, fans of Julia Child, fans of Nora Ephron directed movies (Sleepless in Seattle), etc.
