Friday night was date night. Rosemary won some free passes to the Pickwick Theatre, the local movie house, and she opted to take me. What a gal! The movie showing was “Julie & Julia”.The movie follows for one year the life of Julie Powell [played by Amy Adams] who is having a rough time completing projects. Knowing she loves to cook, her husband, Eric [played by Chris Messina] talks her into writing a blog about cooking.
Julie, who follows religiously Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking, opts to complete all the recipes in the cookbook within the year and keep the blog going.
Juxtaposed with Julie’s life is Julia Child’s [played by Meryl Streep] life as she learns to cook and write her book. Stanley Tucci [who plays Paul Child] does an excellent job as Julia’s husband. The acting of these two was superb. They complemented each other masterfully. The love between this couple flowed from the screen.
The tenacity and drive of the two women made one want to tackle any task facing them. The movie was delicious, heart-warming, inspiring, and a feel-good one.
I have to rate it with five, yes five, pieces of my daily candy.
Ciao
