I loved this movie, it was a joy to watch Meryl Streep & Amy Adams. My friend & I were inspired to attempt some of the dishes, so we went right to the bookstore to order our Cookbooks. Ms Streep as always was perfect, & Ms Adams made you like Ms Powell, who was not that likable in the book. I will see this one again.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This movie is a hoot! Meryl Streep did a great job capturing the real Julia and her love of food.
This movie may not be for everyone. We saw it with my brother and sister- in-law, both of whom look at food as just food, never appreciating it for the flavor, texture and joy that it provides. They thought it was dry in some areas.
My husband and I, on the other hand spend our weekends in the kitchen making gourmet meals for our friends often using Julia's receipies. We loved the film!
My only thought was that I would like to see a film just based on the life of Julia herself. She lived such an adventure filled life that it would be great on film.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

To make a delicious cinematic soufflé: Place two parts Nora Ephron (screenplay and direction), one part each Amy Adams and Meryl Streep, pinches of Stanley Tucci and Chris Messina with a touch of SNL into production; rehearse until smooth. Pour mixture into period sets and film until golden. Serve immediately in theaters. Bon appétit!
Warning: Do not watch if hungry. Love abundantly displayed (yay!).
The iconic Julia Child introduced French cuisine and cooking technique to America. God bless her for it. This tribute film will have you buying her seminal cookbook—and wondering if there is any role La Streep cannot play to perfection.
The audience clapped at the end. Me too. Loved it! Go see it.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Norah Ephron did a terrific job combining the two books about Julia Child and Julie Powers. And go see it after a big dinner, because you'll be famished after all the beautiful looking food and in depth discussions on ingredients etc.
I wasn't lost in Meryl Streep's role in this movie as Julia, maybe because she's a bit old to have this part. She certainly played up Julia's way of talking, initially charming and reminiscent, finally to become grating and tiresome by the end of the movie. We also thought Stanley Tucci was excellent, but noticeably younger than Meryl.
It's a wonderful story with some strong life messages that are a pleasure to watch.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I grew up watching her television program. She always made things fun. She inspired me to follow my love of food and journey into the cooking world. This film really gives a person who doesn't really know "Julia" a sense of her spirit and passion. As for "Julie", what an undertaking. Both the actresses and their counterparts brought everything "to the table" here.....Butter is a good thing.......Oscar anyone?????
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I LOVED this movie - Meryl Streep is fantastic (like you wouldn't know that) and so is Amy Adams. Stanley Tucci was so believable as Paul Child - and its a lovely story. Unlike another review, I do think this is like Julia's life - it is modeled off her book "My Life in France". It was great fun, made me ravenously hungry and inspired me to buy "Mastering the Art of French Cooking". See it, you won't be sorry

Tasty gourmet treat of a movie.
Meryl and Amy both 'blend & mix' into entirely new personnas. Of course, Meryl is a masterful chef at 'whipping' herself into unique roles. Two endearing love stories 'cooked up' & 'served' with a generous 'dash' of humor, and as delicious as Boeuf Bourgon.... Oh! however you spell Julia Child's signature beef stew!
You'll love it.

I am an unabashed foodie; If you are not, perhaps this is not the best movie for you. I knew nothing in particular about Julia Child, and had never had any particular interest in her story. However, I went to see the movie because of all the hype. The portrayals by Streep and Adams of their characters love of, not only food, but their joy and seriousness about its preparation, and as a subject in general, was superb. I found myself profoundly interested by Julia's life, and Julie's as well. If you like food, you will love this movie!

This was a pleasant little fluff of a movie, but if you are a true foodie who thought you'd get a lot of insight into Julia Child, most of the movie was the boring antics of the 30-something blogger -- and frankly, no one cared about Julie Powell when she wrote the original blog (including Julia Child). Worth seeing Streep's impersonation of Julia Child but beyond that and some nice scenery, the movie is a snoozer. You and your date should save the $18 you could spend on tickets and indulge in a fine cheese and some French wine instead. Overall take: an amuse bouche that left me hungry for more.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

I am a Julia Child fan, but I was disappointed with this movie. Meryl Streep's impersonation of Julia Child is excellent, yet you can watch that for only so long. The plot was a bit ridiculous and I found myself wondering why I should care about Julie who suffers from low self esteem and thinks that replicating Julia's recipes in just one year will somehow make her feel better about herself. Her husband, who is constantly trying to encourage his pitiful wife, seems a bit pitiful himself. I also didn't understand the need for those gratuitous digs at Republicans. What was that all about? And the movie should have been about half an hour shorter.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

The movie was everything I expected. Fun, great food and fantastic acting. The only flaws of the film were there wasn't enough of Meryl, Julia and Paul. It is such a rich and vibrant story that wasn't explored enough. Cut the cubicle scenes from Julie and add in more Paris! It would have added more substance to the film.

This movie showed the life and love Julia had away from the television screen and how she got to be a household name in America. This movie was full of self doubt, passion, love, the men who encouraged them, and an uncanny parallel between Julie and Julia. This movie is uplifting and whimsical. We not only laugh at Julie and Julia's situations but also at our own that we have had. I loved the movie!

Even if you can ignore the amazing recipes covered in the film, with colorful, taste-worthy shots of the dishes Julie (Amy Adams) cooks up, you can't help but admire the sheer genius in Julia Child (Meryl Streep), who embraces the French style of cooking with a flair only she can. The film captures the entire sensual experience of food, the French life, and the satisfaction that comes from a well-cooked meal. It is not without ups and downs although some are to be expected (no spoilers I hope!) from the viewer, but one still feels for the heroines in each story.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

If you ever watched Julia Child on television, then you know what a great job Meryl Streep did in her portrayal. Amy Adams did an excellent job with Julie. Both characters were fleshed out and you felt you knew them both. Wish there were more movies out there that were written, directed and played out as well.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
