Julie and Julia
Directed by: Nora Ephron
Starring: Meryl Streep, Amy Adams, Stanley Tucci, Chris Messina
Rated: PG-13 for brief strong language and some sensuality.
The double biopic of professional cook Julia Child and her modern day-want-to-be-protégé Julie Powell offers us a chance to see Meryl Streep in one of her most iconic roles ever, and Amy Adams in one that isn’t quite as interesting. It isn’t that Adams is bad, but her storyline by itself is no more than that of a mediocre chick flick. Streep, on the other hand, has a far less interesting plot, forcing her to generate her storyline through her sheer talent. Both sides succeed, with a little help from co-stars Stanley Tucci and Chris Messina. However, a keen eye can spot the imperfections in the film. Julie and Julia is “Julie Powell” good, but not quite “Julia Child” great.
