Travis and I watched Julie & Julia last night as part of our Christmas vacation Golden Globe nominee marathon. I thought it was a really fun movie. I didn't know much about Julia Child before I watched this and I was surprised at her charm and wit. Meryl Streep is spot-on in her portrayal of Child and the director did a great job of making her look gigantic compared to everyone else. (Child was six foot two inches tall.) Amy Adams is adorable as always. Her character Julie's blogging is actually entertaining and fun to watch. I wonder how much of the drama related to her blog was real and how much was embellished for more exciting storytelling. I recommend this movie to anyone looking for a fun, charming movie and especially to bloggers and/or foodies.
