This was a fantastic movie. I tried explaining it to someone and they rolled their eyes. One of the things I liked was that the character Julie was having lunch with her friends who were all rich and successful and here is Julie who hadn't completed her book and was supposed to be the most successful out of the 4 women and she realizes she needs something that she can finish, so she starts her cooking blog that her husband suggests and she cooks all the recipes from Child's book in 365 days. Some of the recipes are delightfully funny like the lobsters and so on. And then the other half of the story is about how Julia Child got into cooking and her frustrations with her and her friend's massive cookbook. The two stories parallel each other, but are also not the same. I loved the movie, it was charming, funny and heartwarming. I wouldn't necessarily say its a chick flick because of saw plenty of older gentlemen watching the movie too. If anything, it has a more aged audience because of Julia Child.
