  Entertaining and fun!

  by ExcursionUSA

  Definately worth going to see... Funny and entertaining with lots of great food. Eat before you go, or get a big bucket of popcorn to munch on, as some of the dishes in the movie are simply mouth watering...
  
  Lots of laughs and giggles throughout the entire movie!

  GREAT MOVIE FOR A CHANGE!!!!

  by bellaoreo

  This movie was a delight to watch. Streep did an Oscar performance. Adams and Tucci did, too. The Julia character just stood out more. Inspirational!! Highly recommend. Eat before you go.

  She was one of a kind........

  by k28dalton

  This movie had me from beginning to end, maybe it?s because I loved Julia so much or maybe because I love Meryl so much. Who knows and who cares. Julia was one of a kind and if you watched her show, go see this movie.
  If you are having a hard time in your life and can?t figure out what path you want to take, go see this movie.
  If you love to cook, go see this movie.
  If you want to travel to Europe, go see this movie.
  Take your mom, dad, wife, husband, brother or sister but really people this movie is worth seeing!

  AWESOME!!!

  by mradlof2

  Though the movie was quite long, it was very steady and never seemed to be dull. All the actors were amazing, especially Meryl, but I was surprised to see how many instances that you could see the boom mic, it was rather distracting and it seems that for a movie of this caliber, there shouldn't be any obvious sloppiness like that. BUT I LOVED IT!!!

  I took one for the team

  by MostlyTx

  The Mrs wanted to see the movie, and she's been good about going to the ones I like, so it was her turn. I was prepared (as the only man in the theater) to suffer through the entire movie - but I actually enjoyed it.

  julie & julia

  by adpro

  I saw this film last friday. It was a delightfull experiance. The story line, interacting between the two wonen was handled perfectly. The actors were perfect for the rolls they played, the interaction between the characters, both verbal and physical, was superib and the timing was flawless.The editing, customes, and scene choices were execalent. What happened when the show ended was something that I havent experianced since the first Star Wars came out, the entire audiance burst into spontanious appluse. It was gratifing to know everyone enjoyed the movie as much as I enjoyed the show. The most entertaining film I have seen for a long, long time. If I were to remake this film, I WOULD NOT CHANGE ANYTHING. It was flawless. Thank's to everyone involved for giving viewers a look at superb entertainment.

  Meryl IS Julia Child

  by lnbee

  I absolutely LOVED this movie. Meryl's performance is astonishing. I have to admit, I love cookling, I love cooking shows, and I love the mid-century setting (I'm a boomer). So I'm very predisposed to rave about this film. It may not appeal to everyone. I was very entertained.

  524 Recipes of EPIC and LOL!

  by WiiFreedom

  My mother wanted to see this movie and so I came along. I thought the movie would be boring, but I was wrong. Looking on what Julie and Julia cooks tells some similarities of their role of their life. To add to that is the sense of comedy. I LOLed so much cause what they say and do is humorous and funny to watch and listen. You must watch this movie.

  Best movie in years

  by Ilove_movies12

  My idea of the perfect movie, perfectly cast. Meryl Streep IS Julia, living and breathing. She is superb. The men in our group were saying, "Probably a woman's movie; we'll be the only guys there." Were they wrong! They were belly-laughing.
  Great for all ages, maybe not the younger children. Nostalgia for the older folks, contemporary for the blogging set. My only question: why was I so deeply moved, tears and all, at the end, besides being sorry it was over? Loved it! Esther (age 83)

  good stuff

  by firegirl

  I thoroughly enjoyed seeing this movie!! Meryl streep did and excellent job as well as the "julie" character. I laughed a lot and that is not easy in this comedy market these days. Some things just aren't funny anymore because they have beaten them to death! So this was refreshingly cute and creative and fun. LOVED IT !!!

  Food for the Soul

  by davidjameslick

  Julie and Julia was a delightful and heartwarming film, but I found it slightly unbalanced. The story is delightful and has a humor to put a smile on any food fanatic's face. Meryl Streep's acting is stupendous - she has captured Julia Child's essence, love for food and humanity, and thirst for success that made her a star. Amy Adams does a commendable job, but clearly has less material to work with. Her story line lacks a certain amount of spice and intrigue that gives the Julia Child story forward thrust. Also, Adams's character (Julie) is, at points, a bit unlikeable. Aside from those mild complaints, this film is enjoyable and definitely worth seeing, if not only for the acting for the beautiful Parisian scenery, the delectable food, and romantic story of love and female power in the twentieth (and twenty-first) century.

  Julie and Julia

  by twinkah

  Wonderful movie! Meryl Streep is fabulous as Julie Child and Amy Adams is adorable as Julie. Loved that 1/2 the movie was Julia Child in 1940's Paris. Learned alot about Julia Child's life and her husband who obviously adored her. Just a great feel-good movie and a must see! I thought it would be a silly "chick-flick" but it isn't, although it IS funny!

  I grew up watching Julia Child Cook.

  by DarthMom

  I loved this movie! I was incredibly entertained and Meryl Streep did a fantastic job! If anyone loves Julia Child and her contribution to the art of cooking on TV, then this is the movie to create a new memory along with the those from the past. I am greatful for Julie's Blogging contribution that opened the doors to an enjoyable movie.
