Julie & Julia

“Based on two true stories.”

Julie Powell (Amy Adams) is a young New Yorker at loose ends, working a job she doesn't love and looking for a project she can finish. So she sets herself a challenge: cook all 524 recipes in Julia Child's cookbook in 365 days, and write about it on a blog. Nora Ephron cuts between her and Julia (Meryl Streep) in the early years of Child's career, two women decades apart who find that butter, nerve and a stubborn appetite for work can change a life.
