Based on two true stories, "Julie & Julia" intertwines the lives of two women who, though separated by time and space, are both at loose ends until they discover that with the right combination of passion, fearlessness and butter, anything is possible.

Half of the movie was great.

A woman with no direction in a dead-end job in life, takes to cooking and blogging as an escape. This disrupts what little family life she has. As a standard formula movie, this has been done better. Another story overlapping is that of Julia; she also is searching for meaning in life and finds she has a unique culinary skill and panache for the violent processing of food. This is quite fun to view. I immensely enjoyed the interspersed sections that display Julia Child (Meryl Streep) and her husband Paul Child (Stanley Tucci), as you could see their enthusiasm and depth of acting. This could have been a great docudrama. The one-dimensional trope of the interspersed Julie Powell (Amy Adams) could have been left out, and nothing would have been missed. I have only seen the Blu-ray and cannot compare it to other forms of media. For the people interested in the media, the special features contend with the standard as a commentary with Writer/Director Nora Ephron. One advantage is that you can fast forward with sound through the Julie parts. See an early Stanly Tucci as Muerte in “Undercover Blues” (1993).
