Julie & Julia - Bon Appetit! Now I wouldn't consider J&J a great movie, but it's a really good movie with great food.
After watching it I realized 2 things:
One - Meryl Streep is amazing. The way she transforms herself into any character that she plays is just unbelievable. If you need any more proof just look back at any of her movies of late, Doubt, Devil Wears Prada. She can really become just about anyone she needs to.
Two - I'm really hungry. After watching them cook throughout the movie, even thinking about it now...i want some food.
Actually to be fair, everyone does a great job in the movie. Stanley Tucci is just amazing, he is someone who can really get the levels he needs to. Amy Adams does a really good job being the counter plot in the movie. If you've ever lived in New York, it really is amazing how she cooked all these dishes in a small New York apt.
This is definitely worth the rent price. So if you are preparing to watch the movie be sure to have some snacks on hand and be ready to want to cook afterwards. And if you do decide to cook something....Bon Appetit!
