    True Story

    This is a really lovely film based on the life of 2 women who cooked their way through hundreds of French recipes; one while writing the cookbook and the other writing a blog about the cookbook 50 years later - and about their marriages and trying to make the most of what life handed them. Very inspirational.

    Harmless fun

    While the movie is harmless fun and much better than the book it was based on ('Julie and Julia'), it is Meryl Streep who truly brings Julia Child to life and steals the show. Amy Adams does well as the downtrodden Julie Powell whose project is inspired by Julia Child, but it'll be Meryl Streep who you'll remember and enjoy the most.
