Julie & Julia

PG-13 (2009)
Brief strong language and some sensuality

The stories of Julia Child and Julie Powell are intertwined in this dual memoir of the two women. Julie is an unsatisfied cubical worker who challenges herself to cook every recipe in Julia Child's recipe book in 365 days and shares her experiences in her blog.

5 out of 5
(Fairly safe movie for any audience)

To be finished later...


Random movie fact #2:  The film has Judith Jones stand Julie Powell up due to bad weather. Jones told the Boston Globe in August 2009 that, in fact, she had wanted to meet Julie "because I wasn't sure how you put a blog together and I also wanted to talk about recipe rights", but canceled because "Julia Child looked at her blog and didn't think Julie was a serious cook. There were all these four-letter words - that isn't how you describe food if you care and if you're a good writer. Julia thought we shouldn't have anything to do with it." (Info care of IMDB)
