Episode 406 - Movies for Food Lovers : Julie & Julia (2009)

PASSION. AMBITION. BUTTER. Do you have what it takes?
Julie & Julia (2009)

What a Superb movie! I love the characters and the cast (Meryl Streep & Amy Adams)! Meryl Streep really played the character well, especially in mimic-ing Julia Child's voice! Two great true stories in one movie. One about a women who loves food, learnt how to cook French food and wrote a book of recipes out of her experience. The other, used Julia's recipe book, wrote a blog out of it and tried all her recipes in a year! Both with great passion for food and aimed to prove that they could do something by working really hard! Additionally, I found that they wouldn't have been so successful without support from their loved ones and friends! Such an inspiration for me! Love it! However, I thought that Julie would meet Julia in the end and that would just be a great happy ending but they didn't. But one true thing that I learnt from this movie is that you can be a great cook by learning to cook! So, guys and girls, put on your apron and start whipping up something!

FYI: It runs about 2 hours, 3 mins and it's rated PG-13 on Yahoo!

My Rate: 7.5 stars out of 10

The movie is available on DVD in a very clear version at stores near you!
