Julie & Julia (2009)

Yes, I am a 19 year old, straight male and yes, I did go see this alone and entirely of my own free will. And for the record, I thoroughly enjoyed it - so if you have a problem with that, you can just fuck right off :)

I actually should clarify that: I thoroughly enjoyed half of it. Even though I could hardly force myself to be even vaguely interested in Julie, Meryl Streep as Julia Child was an absolute sweetheart. Honestly, you couldn't pry the smile from my face during her scenes...such an fun performance, loved it.

Still, the Julie portions were pretty useless. I can't see who thought it would be a good idea to make a movie about a dull, self-absorbed blogger. I wanted to up and leave every time the story switched to her...things picked up a little bit near the end, I will admit, but still not enough to make her worthwhile.

Wait for DVD, so you can fast forward and only watch the Julia Child moments. They really are wonderful...shame they had to drag things down so much with Julie.
