Julie & Julia

I was at my sisters house the other day and she has premium cable channels so I decided to order "Julie & Julia" on Demand. I really thought this was a really cute movie..However I had to rewind it a couple of times due to some distractions while watching it!! But I thought this movie was really cute.

This movie integrates two true life stories of Critically acclaimed t.v chef Julia Child and aspiring writer Julie Powell.

Julie Powell is an aspiring writer that has submitted a story to a publisher but it wasn't bought, she is also stuck in a depressing job at a call center where families of the victims of the September 11 attacks call to share their feeling or people call to complain about the controversial plans to rebuild the World Trade Center call and complain. She however finds comfort in cooking and decides to start a blog about cooking her way through Julia Child's cook book "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" in a year. That's every single recipe (524 recipes) in 365 days! Her story and blog get documented in the New York Times, and starts receiving the attention of journalists, and other media, including Julia Child herself (however hers wasn't necessarily positive). Her blog the Julie/Julia Project is still up and running.

Integrated it also follows the early culinary career of Julia Child. When she lived in Paris with her husband. It shows her struggles to be accepted in the culinary world, and her struggles to get a cookbook published.

The story shows similar challenges encountered by both women.

This movie is a really cute story and I loved seeing the challenges between both women it is actually really inspiring.
