Shortly after moving to france, in 1946, to support her husband in his job relocation, Julia Childs (Streep) has a hard time adapting to her local surroundings. After days of trying to learn the language and figuring out what it is she wants to do with her new life, Julia decides to take Cooking lessons, and the rest is history (No really it is) Before Long Julia becomes one of the worlds most famous chefs and becomes the author of several cookbooks. Julie's Storie takes place in the year 2002 so you can see that the movie takes place between both eras, and they pull it off very well. Julie works in a cubicle from nine to five and is afraid that her life is going no where. Shortly after moving to Queens New York with her husband, Julie decides that she wants to create a blog and work her way through the Julia Childs CookBook in One Year. 364 Days and 5oo plus recipes later Julie realizes that with a little passion for cooking and butter anything is possible.
I enjoyed this movie alot! Meryl Streep did an amazing job of potraying Julia Childs, I've never even seen the real Julia Childs, but I would Like to imagine she was everything that Streep portrayed her to be. Amy Adams pulled of a charming role as well.
