Comedy Meryl Streep is Julia Child and Amy Adams is Julie Powell in writer-director Nora Ephron's adaptation of two bestselling memoirs: Powell's "Julie & Julia" and "My Life in France," by Julia Child with Alex Prud'homme. 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.

	Author	Review
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Meryl Streep — at her brilliant, beguiling best — is the spice that does the trick for the yummy Julie & Julia. Written and directed with sharp wit and unforced wonder (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)."	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"Two for the Stove. (...) breezy, busy movie (...) proceeds with such ease and charm that its audacity — a no-nonsense, plucky self-confidence embodied by the indomitable Julia herself — is easy to miss."	POS
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"Julie & Julia is not lacking in entertainment value, especially with the Streep performance. But if the men had been portrayed as more high-spirited, it might have taken on intriguing dimensions. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)."	NEU
