Julie & Julia (2009)

Dramedy based on a true story of slightly impoverished New Yorker Julie Powell aspiring to master French cooking following Julia Child's masterpiece cookbook. Julie is enamored with Julia's reputation and career, and vows to complete all 524 recipes in 365 days while blogging her trials. Movie shines as it time flashes back and forth contrasting modern day Queens, New York (Julie's apartment) and 1950's Paris, France (Julia's home). Awesomely acted by Meryl Streep (Julia) and Amy Adams (Julie). About 2 hours.
