Julie and Julia

Maybe it's because I'm absolutely in love with the optimism that's threaded throughout this movie or the fact that I can totally identify with how hard it was for Julie to "kill" those lobsters but, I loved this movie! I think I smiled/laughed for most of two hours while watching Julia hoot and holler over life's simple pleasures...and perhaps cried a teensy bit too watching the ups and downs that the main characters faced in each of their lives. It's just life. But, what a wonderful gift it is when you discover a passion that you are able to share with others you love. Now, that's rich!

"Julia Child (Meryl Streep) and Julie Powell (Amy Adams) are featured in writer-director Nora Ephron's adaptation of two bestselling memoirs: Powell's Julie & Julia and My Life in France, by Julia Child with Alex Prud'homme. Based on two true stories, Julie & Julia intertwines the lives of two women who, though separated by time and space, are both at loose ends...until they discover that with the right combination of passion, fearlessness and butter, anything is possible."  -Columbia Pictures
