What We're Watching: Alice


Julie and Julia (2009) Columbia Pictures with Meryl Streep and Amy Adams.


Julia Child and Julie Powell find their lives intertwined. Though separated by time and space, both women are at loose ends...until they discover that with the right combination of passion, fearlessness and butter, anything is possible.

Meryl Streep is an absolute wonder as Julia Child. Her portrayal is uncanny. Amy Adams does a great job as the "going nowhere temp worker" Julie, who embarks on an insane project to cook the 524 recipes in Julia Child's cookbook in 365 days, and decides to blog about it.

The blog eventually turns into her book, Julie and Julia, on which this movie is based.

Both book and movie are great fun and deserve a FIVE STAR rating.
