Encyclopedia
Julie & Julia is a 2009 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Nora Ephron
starring Meryl Streep
, Stanley Tucci
, Amy Adams
, and Chris Messina
. The film contrasts the life of chef Julia Child
in the early years of her culinary career with the life of young New Yorker Julie Powell
, who aspires to cook all 524 recipes in Child's cookbook in 365 days, a challenge she described on her popular blog
that would make her a published author.
Ephron's screenplay is adapted from two books: My Life in France
, Child's autobiography written with Alex Prud'homme
, and a memoir by Powell documenting online her daily experiences cooking each of the 524 recipes in Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking
, and she later began reworking that blog, The Julie/Julia Project. Both of these books were written and published in the same time frame (2004–06). The film is the first major motion picture based on a blog.
In March 2008, Ephron began filming with Streep as Child and Adams as Powell. On July 30, 2009, the film officially premiered at the Ziegfeld Theatre
in New York; and, on August 7, 2009, it opened throughout North America. Streep and Adams previously starred together in Doubt (2008). Streep and Tucci previously starred together in The Devil Wears Prada
(2006).

. To do something she enjoys, she decides to cook every recipe in Mastering the Art of French Cooking
(1961) by Julia Child (Streep) in one year; Powell decides to write a blog to motivate herself and document her progress.
Woven into the story of Powell's time in Queens in the early 2000s is the story of Child's time in Paris throughout the 1950s, where she attends Le Cordon Bleu
to learn French cooking and begins collaborating on a book about French cooking for American housewives. The plot highlights similarities in the women's challenges. Both women receive much support from their husbands, except when Powell's husband becomes fed up with her excessive devotion to her hobby and leaves her for a short time.
Eventually, Powell's blog is featured in a story published in The New York Times
, after which her project begins to receive the attention of journalists, literary agents, publishers, and a dismissive response from Child herself. Although Child's book is rejected by Houghton Mifflin, it is accepted and published by Alfred A. Knopf
. The last scene shows Powell and her husband visiting Child's kitchen at the Smithsonian Institution
and Child in the same kitchen receiving a first print of her cookbook and celebrating the event with her husband.

Los Angeles Times
critic Kenneth Turan commented, "[Julie & Julia] does it right. A consummate entertainment that echoes the rhythms and attitudes of classic Hollywood, it's a satisfying throwback to those old-fashioned movie fantasies where impossible dreams do come true. And, in this case, it really happened. Twice." The A.V. Club
gave the film a C, explaining, "Julie & Julia is two movies in one. That’s one more movie than it needs to be." Entertainment Weekly
gave it a B+. The review by Slate
was also positive.
Streep has been widely praised for her performance as Child. Movie critic A.O. Scott of The New York Times
affirmed that "By now [Streep] has exhausted every superlative that exists and to suggest that she has outdone herself is only to say that she’s done it again. Her performance goes beyond physical imitation, though she has the rounded shoulders and the fluting voice down perfectly." Reviewer Peter Travers
wrote in Rolling Stone
that "Streep — at her brilliant, beguiling best — is the spice that does the trick for the yummy Julie & Julia." Similarly, Stephanie Zacharek of Salon concluded that "Streep isn't playing Julia Child here, but something both more elusive and more truthful — she's playing our idea of Julia Child."
