"Julie and Julia"... What An Absolute Gem That's Not Just For Foodies!

At first when I heard about this movie I wasn’t sure what to think. How can they make a movie about Julia Child that would seriously bring the crowds to the theater. But, since I am a Foodie, I had to check this one out. I went with one of my friends and sat in the back row, honestly not expecting anything more than just a sweet story to watch. What I found was a movie that took me in, grabbed my heart, and left me wishing that the story would never end. The only complaint that I have is that the movie wasn’t dedicated to just the life of Julia Child. I found myself wishing that I had a Tivo controller in my had to fast-forward over the story line about Julie. Not that Amy Adams didn’t do a good job, I just wasn’t nearly as interested in her story, and I couldn’t get enough of the story about Julia Child. Meryl Streep absolutely channeled Julia through her performance and I never wanted it to end. I can not say enough wonderful things about this movie, and even if you are not a Foodie, you must ad this to you list of movies to see!
