DVD Review "JULIE and JULIA" Score: B+ 89%

A surprisingly delightful film. Pegged and marketed as a "Chick flick" it is nothing of the sort. This is more the struggles of a want to be writer as she Blogs her way through Julia Childs' cookbook and a interesting bio pic of Childs life. Really interesting ways of cutting back and forth from modern day to Childs' life. The food in this one is gloriously shot and if you are not hungry after watching this you may not be human. Streep effortlessly falls into her character and once again proves her talent to us. I didn't think I would care for this one much but I can honestly say that it pleasantly surprised me as a good film. Makes for a great Date film.
