Intertwined with Julie's story is the true tale of how Julia Child (Meryl Streep) herself mastered French cuisine with passion, fearlessness, and plenty of butter.

Streep and Tucci are great together again.
Story is nicely woven between the two lives and provides a lot of education points about one of our American treasures, Ms. Child.
Go see it.

Meryl Streep is a gem. She is amazing in almost every movie that I have seen her in. This movie is no exception. The screen lights up when the story revolves around her. There is great chemistry between her and Stanley Tucci. I wish the entire movie had been about them. While I enjoyed Amy Adams, she does not have the screen presence that Meryl Streep commands and the movie fell a little flat when the story revolved around her. The concept was interesting and entertaining enough; I found out some things about Julia Child that I did not know. At the end of the day, it is a good Sunday afternoon movie.
