On Friday I had the pleasure of going to see Julie and Julia with a friend. Over the summer I read both of the books that inspired the movie and you know sometimes that makes the experience less enjoyable. That is not the case with this movie.
I especially enjoyed Meryl Streep as Julia Child. She was pure genius. And now I'm going to say something I thought I'd never say out loud. That Stanley Tucci is kinda
sexy. There. I said it.
I must tell you that this movie should come with a warning. There were moments when my stomach growled so loudly, I could scarcely hear the dialogue.
The movie was beautiful to watch, particularly the scenes in France. I love a beautiful movie, don't you? If this one doesn't make you want to hop on AirFrance, I don't know what will. So go see it if you have time, but make sure you eat a good meal first.

I saw it last night with DH and he even liked it!!! I laughed, I cried and when I left I wanted to go cook something. It was AWESOME!!!
ReplyDeleteI saw Stanley Tucci nekkid (with Edie Falco) on Broadway in Frankie & Johnny.Yes, very sexy.
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to go see this - now that we're moved, at least to the extent that all our belongings are at one address, we're planning to go see it this weekend.
ReplyDeleteA date, a real date, to go see a chick flick. I must be dreaming!
I can't wait to see this movie..., and I want to watch it at home with a great meal in front of me!
ReplyDeleteStanley Tucci was AWESOME. :-)
ReplyDeleteI saw it with a girlfriend and we loved it...now I am trying to convince my DH that he will like it and that he needs to go see it with me!
I loved M.S as Julia too! She did a fantastic job. Yeah....Stanley Tucci did look good huh? They must have worked well together in The Devil Wears Prada...
ReplyDeleteI went with a bunch of girlfriends, we ate a huge dinner b4 the show!!!!
Some of that food did sound amazing, almost temped me to get the cook book and try some of those recipes!!!!
I read both the books and I can't wait to see the movie. I'm really looking forward to seeing the food.
ReplyDeletei've heard it's wonderful!

I really want to see that movie. Marking my calendar for next Saturday night -- movie with the hubs! :)
ReplyDeleteJanet
I've been meaning to watch this - so glad you enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to go see it! I have never been to a movie alone....but I am thinking I will if no one will go with me. Thanks for the advice about eating ahead of time. :)
ReplyDeleteDYING to see it! Cory and I had big plans to go this weekend (he's a sucker for cooking shows, so it seemed like a good fit). Anyway, we didn't make it out, after all. Don't ask.
ReplyDeleteDid I mention that I'm a bit crabby and complainey today???
We are going to HAVE to see that movie when it comes out on DVD. I have heard nothing but good reviews about it. Can't wait to see it. I haven't seen a really good movie in a long time!
ReplyDeleteThis movie is on my list to see....I've GOT to make it to the movie theatre SOON. Everyone I talk to says its a great movie!

ReplyDeleteI thought it was adorable too!!!
ReplyDeleteJust saw this tonight and really enjoyed it as well. I love that there were no 'perfect' people in this movie....women taller/bigger than their spouses, girls without their sisters hanging out of some skanky top...etc. Because it was based on real people and their lives, it really touched a chord in me.
ReplyDeleteI have not seen it yet....but I want to!
ReplyDeletexo,
annie
Thanks for the recommendation! I wasn't sure I was going to see it, but now I know I will! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to see it this weekend! The husband, who does the cooking in our house, has said he'd like to see it too so I guess we have a date! (oh, and Stanley Tucci? where have you been, Jen??!!)
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting and waiting for it to come out here. It's agony.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the movie, especially the parts when Julia first started blogging & she would be so excited over her comments - I can relate to that.
ReplyDeleteby the way, I love that Bike!!
I've been so busy I haven't had a chance yet to see this movie.
ReplyDeleteI have both books and lately I've been obsessed with all things Julia. I just picked up one of her later cookbooks while thrifting last week...so pleased with that!
Hmmm, maybe I'll go to the matinee this afternoon.
LOVE your blog.
mary
