| Julie & Julia – Have you seen it? | Hot Conversation |
Julie/Julia is THE Vibrant movie! Julia blossoms, finds happiness and fame in her fifties, after many false starts. It was so uplifting that the audience broke into full applause at the end.
Has anyone else seen it yet?

And if you are contemplating divorce, install a keylogging program on your computer, easy to do and only costs about 99 dollars. Then you can keep track of his online activity when you are away and any evidence should go a long way toward supportinAt 75 it sounds like he may be struggling with his own mortality issues, fear of the inevitable like we all do. Just wants one last fling to prove something to himself. Its sad that online surfing gives us all an outlet to play out our fantasies inFrom my experiences online, I would say the chances of anyone you meet being compatible for a long term, committed relationship (what most women would like, I believe)....about 5 percent, truly. I have 'dated' several men over the past three years, I am 55 and in a similar position. Fortunately I worked as a financial advisor in the past and so managing my funds is not a huge challenge. This is where you need to be careful, as other replies have said already. Just invest conservatively if pomichelle,i have done many cosmetic procedures, but i needed to do them for my own self esteem, and to help maintain my self-image, or for my work. i could not stand to look at my face in the mirror and always see sagging or hollowness . it was done f
It is a must-see movie! It’s one of those movies that leaves you with a good feeling all over (and a little hungry). It makes me want to go back to France and learn how to cook, if not that then learn to simply enjoy every bite of food the way Julia does. I love food–pretty much any and every kind–so in a way it was so difficult to sit in the theatre surrounded by the smell of fake buttered popcorn when you are watching butter used in so many fascinating and delicious ways. Meryl Streep and Amy Adams both have award winning performances—the way Meryl mastered Julia Child’s voice just goes to show that she can master any role.
Saw it & LOVED it! I’m convinced that staying engaged in something meaningful is always rewarding.
Loved it! Left there feeling very hungry from watching all that delicious food being cooked. Great movie and two interesting stories of two women’s lives.
Fabulous movie! The passion was contagious and I loved how it interspersed these two women. I could (and will) see it again. It’s one of those movies where I KNOW I’ll see it again and again!
Absolutely fantastic! It was fun, funny, inspirational and at moments quite poignant. I came right home to cook a wonderful mean and blew it! Ooops, next time!
Yes, this film has it all- inspirational, funny, touching and you leave the theater wanting more. Ran home to revisit the Julia Child cookbook that my mother had given me ages ago. Can’t wait to read “My Life in France”
I noticed that both Julia’s book and Julie’s books were on the NYT best seller’s list (for paperbacks).
I’ve read both My Life in France and Julie and Julia. They were both marvelous. It is interesting that MLIF chronicles Julia’s days in Paris learning to cook yet was the final project of her long life that was completed by her co-author and nephew a year after her passing.
Finally got to the movie this evening and loved it and felt as though I were in on all the inside stories for having read both books first. Wish I could find an original copy of the cookbook!
Yes, I saw it last week. As a Julia Child fan I really enjoyed learning about the special relationship she had with her husband Paul The modern Julie has triggered my interest in finding her original blog. The movie captures the supportive relationships both women share with their husbands through easy and rough times. While many would consider it a chick flick, I also think it’s a good date flick because of the rich roles the husbands have. If you’ve not seen it, check it out.
I loved the movie, I saw it last week!!! So refreshing. And, as always Meryl Streep was amazing. It’s been a long time since i have enjoyed a movie that much.
I had a Friday off work a couple of weeks ago and went to a matinee showing. There might have been 10 of us in the theatre. It was a wonderful movie, I enjoyed every minute of it. Merle Streep was Julia Child…amazing.
I’m also reading My Life in France right now and have Julie and Julie waiting in the wings. I work for a book wholesaler and ordered both books the day I got back to work.
Delightful film. I felt wonderful during and after seeing it and thought, “I didn’t think they made movies like this any more!” I’m going again.
I wholeheartedly agree with every word you wrote! Now I just have to choose a time to see it again and maybe a trip to the Smithsonian?
I saw Julie and Juiia with a friend and savored the movie, our meal afterwards and our friendship!
I agree. This was a wonderful movie.
I thought the movie was just so-so. Without Meryl Streep, it would have not been worth watching.
Yes, and it was a true delight! Being a foodie and cookbook author myself, I just had to see it. Audiences everywhere are walking out of the theater happy and hungry! They are also running to the bookstore to by Jula’s book! Bookstores did not anticipate the requests they would be getting and I hear many had to order fresh copies for all the interested folks. What struck me also was how long it actually took Julia to get the book done. It’s a wonderful story, and Meryl Streep was brilliant as usual! I say it’s a “must see!”
I cannot wait to see it…..when Julia Child died, it was like a dear friend passing away. My husband and I (he’s the chef), I just set the table….decided to have JULIA CHILD parties in her honor….we found some of her videotapes to play on the front porch to welcome people in and everyone brought a favorite dish—this was a wonderful ongoing memorial for someone who changed America….in such a good way!
Yes, I saw it and enjoyed it very much! It made me curious about Julia Child and I went out and bought her autobiography, called, “My Life In France.” I am reading it now and very much enjoy learning about her very special love and marriage to Paul Child.
Yes, it sounds like they had such a wonderful marriage. I’m almost finished the book and it has been very enjoyable.
Saw it loved it. Makes you want to grab a cook book and start cooking. (Almost then I think of all the shopping and dishes and calories) But I would see it again.
