    Meryl Streep never seems to disappoint. And in the movie, Julie & Julia, she's once again, amazing. I really enjoyed watching this movie. It's nothing heavy or emotionally taxing. It's light, funny and you get invested in the characters. I really recommend watching this movie.

    This is such a cute movie! The book is a lot better, so if you're a fan of the movie I recommend reading the book. Julie has such a sarcastic, funny way of writing that isn't really translated into the movie. But I love this, and it's got Danny from the Mindy Project!

    Great movie. Meryl Streep does a great job as Julia Stiles. You really get into the story and after watching it, I had to go and buy Mastering the Art of French cooking (made the Boeuf Bourguignon and it is as amazing as they say in the movie).

    I watched this film with my parents and my boyfriend. To my surprise, my parents fell asleep half-way through while my boyfriend and I watched this great film! I agree with Ali, make sure you have some snacks on hand, because you will want to eat...a lot! Meryl Streep is at her best in her portrayal of the legendary Julia Child.

    I think this is the perfect movie for a girls night in, or pot luck! I thought it was really well done, though a bit long. Overall, I would totally recommend this film based on the incredible performances by all cast members, the endearing story line and the fantastic cooking!
