Julie and Julia

Well we got back to back chick flicks as I went to see Julie and Julia today!

I figured bc the girlfriend wanted to see it and I may not of liked it id spend less money and see the matinee……bad idea. The theatre was crowded as hell! I was like, “oh no one will be at a 2pm show on a friday.” But everyone and their grandmothers were there….literally. Apparently the target audience, woman and senior citzens, filled the place at 2pm bc they would be a sleep by 8:30pm.

So Julie and Julia….based on two true stories…and two books!

So the movie stars Amy Adams and Maryl Streep where Adams plays Julie, a post 9/11 New Yorker who works in an insurance company for 9/11 people. Streep plays Julia in post WWII Paris.

The movie has two time lines as the two stories are told 60 years a part. Streep goes over an 8 yr span of trying to get her first book published and Adams goes for a 1 year quest to cook everything in Julia Child’s book. Through the year she will blog and hope someone hears her.

This movie is not a comedy or a documentary or a romance and its not really dramatic… ok ill say its a semi comedy reenactment hows that?

The movie was fun and entertaining as I think Streep did a great impersonation of Julia Child’s but what sucked was the ending bc i felt there was no real closure. Its like the movie was one giant episode and now a movie.

Adams looked hot again but it took me a while to get use to her tom boy look. Id still do her though.

Oh and ewwww French people put pounds of butter on everything….but the food did look AWESOME!

I need to go to a french place. Who wants to go with me?

Bon appetit

wait for the Blu Ray on this one.
