I wish I could split this vote; 8 for Julia, 3 for Julie. The problem with this film is Nora Ephron. She took 2 interesting books and reduced the plot to a Cliff Notes version and managed to make both stories uninteresting. But even Nora I wish I could split this vote; 8 for Julia, 3 for Julie. The problem with this film is Nora Ephron. She took 2 interesting books and reduced the plot to a Cliff Notes version and managed to make both stories uninteresting. But even Nora Ephron could not hide the potential of a truly great film based on the life of Julia Child. I found myself wanting more. More story, more character, more drama. A bio flick about Julia Child would have been fascinating. Tell us about her days in Ceylon. Tell us about her TV days. Tell us more about her relationship with Paul Child. All we get is snipes and tidbits here and there delivering in an incomplete story. The performances by the great Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci stand out as a testimonial of what could have been. However such a film is apparently not within the capability of the writer/director. Instead we get a side story with Amy Adams as Julie playing a typical Ephron character - obsessive, depressing, and tiresome. Expand

Meryl Streep did a great job but this movie sucked. Unless you love Julia Child and her life story and watching it interspersed with a lame, pathetic woman who claims as an adult to have never eaten an EGG, don't waste your time.

Qu'est-ce qu'on mange?

Paris 1949
Queens, New York 2002

Two women, two "ways of being" different, two lives, two ways of addressing it. Motivational-ironic-energetic-enthusiastic Mrs. Child, analytical and emotional-volitional Mrs. Powell. Julia Child, the wife of an official U.S. government moved to Paris to work, seems to have found his "real" city. It immediately take "possession" a real French feeling. Gourmet with a passion for cooking, envy the French because the French eat a daily basis. This observation, will begin the project of his life. Teach Americans to eat French. She has two large "gifts". First, she learns quickly and develops what is taught and that is how the age of 37, began attending classes at the Cordon Bleu School in Paris. She is' full of life, want to discover the secrets, the new experiences it is based, short for Julia's life is a huge package filled with gifts. The second, she is an excellent teacher and this will be universally acknowledged by those who got to attend his tuition, then wins with his manner, whole masses television. Julie Powell, who moved with her husband, reluctantly, from Brooklyn to Queens for work of Erik, are home on a pizzeria. Work at LMDC - Lower Manhattan Development Corp., a receptionist job that does not satisfy, it defines a "bureaucrat who tries to manage the side effects of 11 September." When he returns, it is always destroyed, why can not internalize the point 2 of the guidelines to be observed in relations with customers and that is "not get involved emotionally when they denounce the incident."

Meryl Streep gives us another fresco film showing what it means to be an actress and as much sensitivity must be in support, to carry out that work. Result, even if he were in front of cutouts of any script, the remains of a camera, if working with a director maybe drunk or disoriented can, with his immense ability, capacity and skill training again even more beautiful mosaic. A script becomes a "Creature" not sparing in professional generosity. The spectator has the accurate perception of the character played managed to capture all the personality traits.
The film in question is a film adaptation "passion" of two stories. The books that inspired director and screenwriter Nora Ephoron, are: "Julie & Julia" by Julie Pewell (Amy Adams) and "My Life in France" by Julia Child (Meryl Streep) and Alex Prud'hommme.

Good Ciak!

With talented actors such as Meryl Streep, Amy Adams, Stanley Tucci and Jane Lynch on board, plus Nora Ephron has been responsible for some lovely work, 'Julie & Julia' seemed a recipe made in heaven. Seeing it, it is truly delicious stuff.With talented actors such as Meryl Streep, Amy Adams, Stanley Tucci and Jane Lynch on board, plus Nora Ephron has been responsible for some lovely work, 'Julie & Julia' seemed a recipe made in heaven. Seeing it, it is truly delicious stuff.

Do agree with those saying that the Julia Child portions are much more interesting than the Julie Powell ones. Not that the Julie Powell scenes are unwatchable, certainly not. There are amusing and sweet moments and succeeds just as much as the Julia Child story in making one want to grab a cook-book and start cooking or starting a blog. The film in general with both story lines compels one to want to cook, regardless of how good they are at it or not.

Amy Adams also brings charm to Julie and an amusing angst and Chris Messina is likable support, though the character is underwritten somewhat. Their chemistry is nicely done.

What lets it down however are silly scenes like with the dinner and 65 answer phone messages, pacing that lacked lustre in places and the shallow self-absorbed way Julie particularly is written.

Luckily, the Julia Child portions have much more charm and are easier to relate to, with Julia's obstacles and determinations being easier to root for and Julia being a more endearing character. The scenes have so much warmth and makes one laugh in an uplifting fashion and cry in how delicately and sensitively the subject is portrayed.

Meryl Streep gives yet another masterly performance, that's both hilarious and touching and much more than an impersonation even with the mannerisms, voice and such being spot on. She is not as tall as Child was, who was 6 foot 2 to Streep's 5 foot 6, but 'Julie & Julia' cleverly disguised that by basically casting shorter actors and actresses. Stanley Tucci is equally brilliant as her husband, one really believes that they are in love and Tucci charms the socks out of everybody. Jane Lynch is a welcome presence in a small role as Dorothy.

The only problems with her story are that it occasionally sags in the middle and that the Republican/McCarthyism jibes did come over as mean-spirited and unnecessary.

'Julie & Julia' is beautifully filmed, especially in the Julia story, which also has very evocative and handsomely rendered period detail that feels like late 40s-50s France. The music gives a good taste of the uplifting and the tragic, with brilliant use of "Time After Time". Am not a fan of the very overplayed "Prince of Denmark" march but tolerated it here.

Nora Ephron's directing in the film's best parts is some of the best she ever did in my opinion and in the best parts the script is witty, inspiring, poignant and sharply observant with lots of warmth. Much of the story works really well, with the two stories and time lines intertwined with great skills and never is hard to follow or choppy.

Overall, culinary deliciousness if at times uneven. 8/10 Bethany Cox

And one thing I noticed -- and would love to know if anyone else saw it too -- was at the end when Julia's book arrived in that padded envelope, I swear that it was padded with bubble wrap, which wasn't invented until decades later....I know it's nit-picky, but a movie of that scale should never have that kind of mistake.

At its very foundation, "Julie and Julia" is about old and new media, so for the traditionalists, the title itself might rankle their antiquated sensibilities, since the title gives equal weight to the writer and the blogger. According to At its very foundation, "Julie and Julia" is about old and new media, so for the traditionalists, the title itself might rankle their antiquated sensibilities, since the title gives equal weight to the writer and the blogger. According to the film, Julia Child did not give Julie Powell's blog a fair shake. The chef said it wasn't "respectful". On one hand, the moviegoer sympathizes with Julie Powell(Amy Adams) because as is so often the case, an artist's voice, or persona, may not necessarily be the artist him-/herself. Child(Meryl Streep) might have not been the perfect woman who lived in Julie's head, or for that matter, the filmmaker's head, as well. Crushed by her hero's negative on-the-record statements to the press about "The Julie/Julia Project", the post-9/11 cubicle worker and her husband stay up late in their one-room apartment, guessing at what angered the then-living icon of French cuisine. Was it Powell's use of the f-word? It's a probability, since Child added that the blog wasn't "serious" either. Another probability, the one that "Julie and Julia" seems unaware of, suggests itself in the juxtaposition of both women's lives within the dual narrative framework. While Child's first manuscript went through countless drafts and multiple publishers over a pretty good chunk of time, Powell had a literary agent and book deal before a full calendar year was up. Although "Julie and Julia" works hard to paint an imperfect picture of Powell's personal and professional life(due to the time-intensiveness of her project), there's something almost obscene about how fame is ascertained these days. Are enough dues paid; especially if you're essentially amalgamating somebody else's work? Powell was like the Danger Mouse of culinary blogging. Adapted from her own bestselling book, naturally, neither the author's diegetic counterpart nor her husband, broach the possibility that copyright issues might be the reason behind Child's ungenerous spirit. Undeniably entertaining, there's a dishonesty about "Julie and Julia". It needs a dissenting voice(a dramatization of Child's voice at 90), a dialectic; a voice to counter the filmmaker's notion that bloggers are indeed the professional writer's equal. By retaining the title of Powell's book, "Julie and Julia" endorses the new media, which merely collates and/or comments on first generation sources, rather than starting off from scratch. For the sake of humility, the film should be entitled "Julia & Me". Expand

This film is not perfect, and the story of Julia Childs is much more fascinating than the story of Julia. But these tales DO intersect. They mirror each other as tales of women (people?) who do not know what to do with themselves finding This film is not perfect, and the story of Julia Childs is much more fascinating than the story of Julia. But these tales DO intersect. They mirror each other as tales of women (people?) who do not know what to do with themselves finding themselves by writing about food: Julia writes the first french cookbook for Americans, as we all know, and Julie writes a blog detailing her adventures cooking all the recipes from that book. Modern day Julie just cannot compete with the wild character of Julia, and Meryl's performance often times pushes into camp. But that's okay. It's great fun. Julie, with her work-a-day worries, and Internet hobby is us. Childs is the big boned myth. How could they compete? Consequently the film drags on a bit with the Julia side of things. Maybe it has to do with not being a woman and not being endlessly fascinated by relationships skidding this way and that. But then it was all so predictable, too. Anyway I forgave it all because Streep was just so funny and alive. Millions will be reminded of this female icon. Before the feature hit the screen, we were treated to previews of four films about women made by women, and it is as a film about a strange female hero that I appreciated Julie & Julia. If Julie is along for the right, 'sallright. Expand

I think the film also captures a genuine love of food preparation and cooking. It also has some wonderful scenes of post-war Paris street vendors. However, there are a number of things which prevent this film from really taking advantage of Streep and its material. The stories (both Julie's and Julia's) are straight forward rags to riches stories which show hard work and persistence paying off in the end. This is not a bad formula to build on, but the film doesn't build much on it. The characters lack depth, especially the husbands, who are portrayed as saints with little lives of their own. Even the main characters lack much complexity in their lives or in their inner selves. There are no major story twists. The Julie story especially becomes a get-rich-quick-with-remarkably-little-work story. Julie isn't very eccentric or interesting as a character. She seems to have just had a good idea, a love of cooking, and some talent at writing. At least the Julia story showed someone working for years (not just a year). Julia just loved cooking and kind of oafishly bungled her way to success. Her story was much more interesting than the Julie story. The scenes in the Paris streets with the vendors were a pleasure to watch. I also think more could have really been made about the genuine love of food preparation. Some great contrasts could have been made between our fast food, buy-it-prepared, convenience philosophy of food and the genuine love of preparing food. At first it looked as though the film was going in this direction, but then it became about get rich quick by blogging for a year Expand

Amy played great not oscar worthy but nice job she can really act. In this romantic comedy they showed how julie and julia's life got changed by food and how similar their life were. I never expected this film to be so funny. It was some laugh out loud stuff. I felt like they went overboard with romance just to much. It would of been better off with less romance.

Nora Ephron had done what I thought impossible; made me dread watching the real Julia Child and the actor who played her in this film again...anytime soon.

The Julie portion is to horrible to comment on. Expand

She then, again, plunges so fully into character, pulling us back down with her, that she becomes more Julia than Julia. It is a startling and singular talent not unlike shamanic possession. Such a presence could threaten to overcome a film (and some have argued it does), rather it appropriately heightens Child Expand

Both stories are immensely entertaining and perfectly cast and designed in two different eras, the thing is though, when you have a performance so channeled as Meryl Streep's, you tend to overlook the whole movie and remember Julia Child. Even the clip of Dan Ackroyd's famous take on SNL, you are thinking of Streep's Julia and not the real Child! Much like Philip Seymour Hoffman's Capote, Meryl Streep becomes Julia Child and wins you over from frame one right up to that walk up to the podium on Oscar night 2010!!! An Iconic Performance from an American Icon. Bon Appetite! Expand

All the shallow wanna-be chefs in the audience made it all the more ironic: they're devouring this film as if it were scripture. Sad really, since those vain little pretentious bores lapping it up will never have the talent or passion that Child had. Instead they'll watch the film, act like they've been touched by god and go out and buy some overpriced olive oil at Whole Foods and think they too are gourmands. Expand

Was I watching the same movie as the critics? Has Meryl Streep become the teflon actress, a critic's pet regardless of what she throws up on the screen? This was one of the most extreme and selfish pieces of overacting I have seen in Was I watching the same movie as the critics? Has Meryl Streep become the teflon actress, a critic's pet regardless of what she throws up on the screen? This was one of the most extreme and selfish pieces of overacting I have seen in ages. Streep sucks the oxygen out of every scene she's in. Even as talented an actor as Stanley Tucci has trouble registering, given how much scene chewing she engages in. I actually found the modern-day Queens' scenes a relief from all the grandstanding. Not to say that they amount to very much either. Ephron homogenizes and pasteurizes all the situations and characters, to the point where one has a lot of trouble seeing what the demons are that could have driven the main character to take on her year-long encounter with Childs, or what could have driven Childs herself. Adams' character doesn't seem to have any inner demons. When she has a fight with her husband, it comes as a total surprise. The characters until then do not seem to have the depth required to actually generate some conflict. Too bad. There are clearly two good stories here that could have been told. Childs was a more multi-faceted character than what the screenwriter and director Ephron has let on, and as for the Julie Wallace character, a quick perusal of her blog reveals that she was much more interesting and complicated than the character that was provided to Adams. This is what happens when you underestimate your public's intelligence and ability to deal with real, multi-dimensional characters in movies. Expand

Streep and Tucci are so perfect together that you'd never think this was acting. However, I want to concentrate on Adams because she does not get the credit she deserves. It is very difficult to serve as the other half to the unforgettable Streep and add the fact that Julie is nowhere near perfect. You could very easily make the arguement that her role is more challenging (which it is not but still wonderful). She makes this simple every woman just as interesting as Julia Child's larger than life character. And like Child herself that is no small feat. Expand

The Julie 1/2, I consider to be the frame within which the Julia 1/2 shone. It did provide contrast, it didn't shine in the same way, but as a matter of necessity it was truncated (or perhaps painted with broad strokes) as there wasn't alot of room/time to explore the in-depth issues of the lives of Julie and her husband. Lots of chuckles and a few laughs and a not a bad movie value. Expand

I loved this film. Meryl Streep is utterly brilliant in it, and completely believable as a cook and cookery writer. I do have 3 slight reservations about cast and script tough.
Firstly, Stanley Tucci did not entirely work for me as Julia Child's husband (nothing to do with his acting) but, to my eyes, he looked far too young to be 10 years older than she was . We can see that he is a dapper dresser and particular about his appearance but in those days someone his age did not look that youthful (all shiny complexion and wrinkle free face). Secondly although Julia Child is a household name in the US, in Europe we had no idea who she was and I felt that there could have been a couple more scenes before Amy Adams' character embarked on her cooking odyssey to somehow explain to the audience the size of the leap that was about to take place between being able to cook simple but tasty food like bruschettas (as we see her do at the beginning of the film I think) and the demanding technical skills she would have to acquire to be able to cook Julia Child's food. It took me a while to realize we were entering serious food territory.
Thirdly, the lady who plays one of the characters involved in trying to put together the first draft of the cookery book (the one who never puts in any work) is not a native speaker and it it does feel rather strange to hear a supposedly French person , in Paris, speaking accented French. It is a small detail but could a native French speaker not be found? None of the above ruined my enjoyment of the film though I have to say and I am very pleased to see that my long held belief that Amy Adams is the best character actress to come out of the US in the last 5 years remains as strong as ever. Long may it continue!

Julie and Julia did not disappoint, with regard to Meryl - she was fantastic, as always. Instead of a movie intertwining two separate plots, I viewed two completely different movies. Ironically, I rooted for Julia Child, already knowing her life's outcome and really could not have cared less about the Julie Powell, the Amy Adams character, I knew nothing about - the whiny, somewhat unlikeable character. The movie boils down to, simply, a tribute to a beloved "character" for generations....Julia Child. Expand

a bit undercooked yet utterly appetizing..

Julie And Julia Even though the performance is up to the mark, the chemistry among the characters isn't impactful or communicated to the audience and the primary reason would be the two different tales set back in a similar background yet fails to connect each other. As much as writing is appreciative and finely detailed, it certainly isn't smart or sincere enough to breed the crisp out of it. It is rich on technical aspects like background score, sound department and art design but could have been edited a lot better with appropriate supervision. Nora Ephron; the screenwriter and director, has done a plausible work but fails to project the anticipated vision on screen which is clearly visible as she sweats behind the camera with all her effort to factor into the bigger picture. There never was any doubt on performance level and the expectations are fulfilled completely by both the lead actresses (Amy Adams and Meryl Streep) in their parallel role. The camera work is immensely pleasing especially all the recipe cooking, which is shot beautifully. Julie And Julia is a bit undercooked yet utterly appetizing on terms of character's perspective as the audience feels disconnected throughout the course of it despite of having multiple mutual things to connect to.
