I don't know much about cooking, but I do know a thing or two about movies and acting, and Julie & Julia is a feast! The casting is just perfect. Meryl Streep as Julia Child is an inspired choice. And there are few people who could pull off an "impression" of a famous person and still make it authentic and deep. Look for Streep to get another Oscar nod here. Of course, Amy Adams is also a delight, and this part is perfect for her. Though the two never share a scene, you really feel the connection between them. This is done through the masterful blending of the two stories, so that even though you know what happens at the end of Julie's story (you are watching her film after all), you can't help but be thrilled by her real-life emotional journey.
