"Julie & Julia" is based on the book by the same name, which is based on the true story by Julie Powell about "The Julie & Julia Project".And first of all let me say,
Meryl Streep as Julia Child is one of the most endearing performances ever.
Young married Julie Powell is a normal pen pusher whose husband encourages her to write a blog about preparing every recipe in volume one of Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" in the space of a year.What follows is the parallel stories of Julia and Julie. They had similar experiences, yet there were drastic differences. Amy Adams, who portrays Powell, is a fine actor and perfect for the part. We can sympathize with her horror at having to boil live lobsters, and we can understand the tensions that arise in her marriage because of her single-minded pursuit of her goal.But on the other end Meryl Streep is just awesome and had almost sidelined Amy Adams.
Bon appetit!..7.5/10
