If you love food, or Paris, or Queens, or if you think Julia Child was a hoot–any or all of the foregoing– absolutely do not miss “Julie & Julia.
It’s a Nora Ephron film telling the story of two women, Julia Child, and Julie Powell, the young New York cubicle-worker who committed to cooking her way through Mastering the Art of French Cooking and blogging about it every day for a year. Meryl Streep absolutely nails Julia’s mannerisms, enthusiasm, and voice, without caricaturing her. Amazing! And the Julie Powell story that runs alternately with the story of Child and her diplomat husband is lively, funny, and sweet without being saccharine.
I can’t remember the last time I purely enjoyed a movie so much! Maybe Ratatouille. (Hey, is there the beginning of a pattern here? Paris, French cuisine, love story....no rats in J & J)
Run, don’t walk, as the saying goes!
