Julie & Julia (2:02) 2009

In case you missed Julie & Julia at the movies, this is a must see movie. My aunt and I went during Christmas week in 2009 and we both thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Meryl Streep is excellent as Julia Childs and nails down both her personality and voice. Stanley Tucci was also excellent as her husband Paul. Although I have watched Julia's television show, I didn't know anything about her early life or her marriage to Paul. Amy Adams plays Julie Powells who blogs about Childs as she attempts to make and bake every recipe in Childs' cookbook in the course of a year. I thought the scenes of Julie and Eric, her husband, were the weaker part of the movie. This definitely Streeps' movie. If you have missed it up to now, give yourself a real treat and rent Julie & Julia.
