Julie & Julia

Meryl Streep, Amy Adams, Stanley Tucci. The beloved, warbly-voiced chef’s extraordinary love affair with her husband Paul is the icing on the cake for the other half of the tale about Julie Powell, an aspiring New York writer. Powell challenges herself to cook every recipe in Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking in one year and blog about it in hopes of getting published. The intertwining of the two women’s stories make for a wonderfully engaging film that tears at the heart and leaves you begging for seconds. 2009/color/123 min/PG-13/widescreen.
