OK,So yesterday, I had the distinct pleasure, and I do mean, pleasure to view the movie, Julie & Julia.
I'm still trying to contain myself regarding this movie. It was in a word - lovely. Sweet, romantic, funny, touching, and a foodie's dream.
The food in the movie alone would be worthy of an Oscar. But it was the story of Julia Child that brings you into the movie because of, the woman is amazing...Meryl Streep. Amy Adams, while lovely, is still saddled with the less likable character, who does realize her shortcomings, but still...
Just please see it. Nora Ephron nailed the screenplay, and the food, and with Meryl & Amy, in the sort of story that played out. Meg Ryan couldn't play that. Tom Hanks, sorry, no. Stanley Tucci, yes. Chris Messina, yes. And Mary Lynn R., heck to the yes.
It was so well done. And it showed NYC (do miss you, but not being broke or starving), and Paris (god, I wish I will see it some day).
This is a movie too, that men (yes, even the straight kind) could hold onto and care for. But for foodies, women, gay men, it's a must not miss. To see those women and their stories and the food on the screen. Don't miss.
