"No offense intended Julia but... the bitch lied."

In honor of my idol receiving her 24th and 25th Golden Globe nominations plus her 12th SAG nomination, I will be reviewing...
Julie and Julia!
The Story: Julie Powell is a bored office temp who decides to spend a year cooking through Julia Child's cook book while writing her whole journey in a blog... much like I am doing here, watching a movie a day!

Best Character: Julia Child!
Hahahaha I couldn't help it! Ok... seriously now.

Best Character: Paul Child
Paul Child was everything that every woman wants for a husband. He was kind, understanding, supportive, and loved when his wife ate whatever and whenever she wanted! He gave Julia the love she deserved and I think every woman fell in love with him a little bit during this film. He was the perfect opposite for our heroine and was adorable the whole time!

Best Mouthwatering Scene: The Chocolate Pie!
When Julie comes home from a bad day at work before she decides to write a blog she makes a chocolate creme pie. Chocolate is something that no one can refuse and if they do they are so weird!

Funniest Scene: The Lobster Scene
The mixture of Julie's trepidation of killing the lobsters plus the added comedy of her husband and the ironic background music of The Talking Heads "Psycho Killer" makes this the funniest scene in my opinion. While Julie tries to buck up and kill the lobsters her husbands walking around singing 'Lobster Killer'! Hahaha you can't help but laugh during this scene.

Funniest Quote!
"I looked fat."
"Just your face."

Best Presented Dinner: Day 365
The presentation of Julie's final day of her cooking/blog was so beautiful! The flowers and food on the table was simply gorgeous along with the added background of the lights of New York City at night! A beautiful sight indeed.

This movie is now available on DVD and is a must buy for an Meryl Streep fan or any fan of good old romantic comedies who just loooove food!

That's it for now. Until next time, I'm just Simply Bitsie.
