Yeah, Mindy it’s a great movie. Oh, don’t worry Christmas is a week and a half away, so maybe Santa willl bring the DVD or Blu-ray to you Mindy because it’s already released, at least no waiting up to get the movie.
I got this film on DVD right away on December 8, when it was served up and then just recently my family just bought another copy of the DVD for a friend who loved the movie so much I had to promise her I would get her own copy so I did and it’s for Christmas. In the store, I saw a gal had the DVD in the cart and my family whom doesn’t know and I just looked but I wasn’t that nosy to that gal, she jus had the DVD of this movie and it was so familar. I think this movie on home video will have a high gross revenue for it.
Great write-up, once again!

Aaaahhh! I KNEW you would like it, e! I want to buy it and watch it again, but I’m fairly certain Santa will be bringing me this and Up. Guess I’ll just have to go get it from redbox! I’m really glad to hear that you enjoyed the film. Meryl Streep was magical. I smell yet another Oscar nod for this one. And I would also love to see Stanley Tucci nominated for Best Supporting Actor. Just amazing. I agree with you on the surprise of Jane Lynch being carefree and fun. GREAT movie. And GREAT write-up, yet again!

It’s worth seeing. Oh yeah it’s a chick flick but the gentlemen would love this film if they enjoy eating and cooking, everyone loves to eat and cook. Ms. Streep and Ms. Adams did great for their performances. I love how the movie is based on two true stories and it’s sorta somewhat educational about Julia Child.

My sister in law was visiting from out of town and suggested we go and see it. I was one of the few males in the theater, and expected just a chick flick, but i must admit i enjoyed it. Ms Streep nailed the Julia role and Amy Adams is easy on the eyes. worth a rental.

Well, Kristin…It’s a definitely a great film! I’m not quite hyped up about this film Julie & Julia, it’s my favorite movie (well one of my favortites). This film just makes you hungry every time when you see almost every scene in the movie. Kristen, here’s a fact you might need to know, I was so excited when I knew it was released on DVD, OMG-LOL!
In my opinion Kristen, it’s worth the rental, Ms. Streep does great at her performance, the whole entire film is worth seeing; it’s not stupid.
When I first knew this film was going to be released in theatres (August 7) and when I saw the theatrical trailer, I was hooked until I finally saw the film in the theatre (August 12) and I absolutely fell in love with the film; my mom took my friend and I and most of the people in the theatre clapped after the film, I recall-it was four months ago so I’m not exactly sure.
I love eating, by the way and I enjoy cooking immensly. I’m planning in the future I cook my way through Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Julia Child and Simone Beck since this film inspired me to do the exact thing what Julie Powell did, not quite a blog though.
Erika’s write-up was joyful and I laughed when I read it, I agree with her. I enjoyed Erika’s write-up immensly also, not to mention the film. I love reading these DVD reviews! Thanks Redbox…

This is such a great movie. And I’m glad I shelled out the extra bucks to watch it in the theater. I also liked reading your review, Erika, and that an apparently lackluster book was redeemed into a great movie. I will say, though, that it was a bit hard for me to stay focused on reading the rest of your review after reading your first two sentences. I can understand not liking to cook, even though I love to cook. But not liking to eat?!?! This I can’t understand at all! I bet you’re one of those people who says at the end of the day, “I forgot to eat.” ;~)

I feel this should be THE role that Streep is remembered for. I am also a big fan of Adams. She is different in every role I have seen her in. I was mesmerized when I saw this in the theater – watching two incredible performances!

well moviegoer123, I know you’ve been hyped about this movie, and if I add Erika’s approval, sounds like I have a rental for this weekend!

I just got this film on DVD on December 8, 2009 and I watched it yestday and on December 9, 2009! This is a feel-good movie, I mean seriously it’s worth the bucks to pay in the theatre and getting it on DVD or Blu-ray and renting it as well.
The beef dish featured in the film sounds so darn yummy, I just want to go in the movie all together and meet the director Nora Ephron including the great actresses Amy Adams & Meryl Streep and also the actors Chris Messina and Stanley Tucci.
There are two scenes that I dislike that I wish the editor of the film cut them out, I can’t be specific but the two scenes are: Saturday Night Live Scene (It’s hilarious but that could’ve replaced a better scene) and Julie’s husband Eric shoves the almond cake in her face and she does the same (That scene was just not necessary).
I loved Julia’s husband and Julie’s husband was kind of a piggy cow throughout the film, it’s about food but all the characters loved food obviously since that’s the plot.
I gave the official website of the film because you can visit the official theatrical site and you can learn more about the film.
I’m glad about having the DVD since I couldn’t wait until the film was released in the first place. All I can say, Bon Appétit!
