JULIE & JULIA

Movie: Julie & Julia
Jan's Rating: 10
Time: 2 Hours 3 Minutes

Jan's Opinion: Cousin Bonnie and I went to see this movie today and we absolutely loved it! As you may already know, it is the two true stories of Julia Child (played by Meryl Streep) and Julie Powell (played by Amy Adams). Meryl Streep was magnificent as Julia, her mannerisms, the way she talked, walked, were so much like Julia Child that it was amazing. I understand they hired a lot of short people for the film to make Meryl Streep look taller, and she did. Amy Adams also was fantastic playing Julie Powell. Julie Powell LOVED Julia Child and tried so hard to be like her, and cook like her, but they never got a chance to meet. There wasn't anything about the movie we didn't like. Go see it, you will enjoy it too.
