I cannot believe it took me THIS LONG to see Julie &; Julia. I mean, it's a chick flick. It's got food. And it's about BLOGGING! What more could I ask for?
Typically I am not a review type of girl. I don't review books. I don't review movies. I also don't post recipes, but that's another post altogether. I've got to tell ya, this was one good movie! Well worth the wait.
The gist of the story is this: young girl is in need of "something" in her life. With the help of her husband she starts a blog to document her adventures as she cooks her way through Julia Child's cookbook. Her tagline is 365 days, 524 recipes.
The setting: Queens, New York. The year: 2004 (but flip-flopping with Julia Child's life).
The characters: LOVED Julia Child's character, as well as her husband. Julie and her husband could have been a little deeper, yet I still felt very involved with them.
I was engaged! It was funny! There was one tiny thing about the ending that disappointed me, but I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet.
And if you haven't seen it, do!
(No, I'm NOT being paid to write this. I wasn't even paid to see the movie. Hey, don't people make money doing this? Where's my money!?!)

Just picked up Julia Child's book, My Life in France. Want to read Julia & Julia when I finish it, then see the movie. Like you, chic lit (chick flick), food & blogging - there shouldn't be anything to dislike!
