Julie & Julia Takes the Cake
This afternoon I have a Guest Blogger. Today’s Guest posting by Alex Ray is about a movie I simply adored. His comments mirror the review I did when I first saw the movie at the theater. Take it away, Alex!
Julie &Julia is based on the book by author, Julie Powell, played by Amy Adams, who wants desperately to be a writer, but unfortunately is stuck working in a depressing, bureaucrat job answering questions over the phone regarding 911 victim benefits.
At the suggestion of her husband, played by Chris Messina, Julie starts a blog writing about her experiences cooking every single recipe contained in Julia Child’s famous cookbook “Mastering the Art of French Cooking.”
The film goes back and forth between the lives of Julie Powell and Julia Child and shows the similar struggles both women face trying to get their work published. The talented Meryl Streep plays Julia Child, and it is Streep’s accurate depiction of Julia that really takes the cake and, in fact, makes the movie worth watching. While Adams’ Julie is occasionally portrayed as spoiled and too whiny to handle, Streep’s Julia is absolutely charming, clever, highly affectionate and humorous to watch.
I enjoyed watching Julie & Julia On Demand, after finding some awesome satellite tv offers, one rainy Sunday afternoon, and I think you will too. Bon appétit!

Thanks for visiting. I too enjoy the special features that give insights. Funniest Special Features on a DVD? Used Cars starring Kurt Russell, an oldie but goodie with hilarious commentary by actor and director.

I enjoyed this movie, too and the special features were quite interesting. One about the making of the movie (and the copious amounts of food they had to eat for each scene) and one about Julia Childs’ life.
