Passion. Ambition. Butter. Do You Have What It Takes? From the director of Sleepless in Seattle comes a funny, heart-warming story about getting what you want from life... Based on the best selling book, Julie & Julia tells the true story of how Julia Child's (Meryl Streep) life and cookbook inspired fledgling writer Julie Powell (Amy Adams) to whip up 524 recipes from Mastering the Art of French Cooking in 365 days in an attempt to revitalize her marriage, restore her ambition and save her soul. The result is a masterful medley of Bridget Jones' Diary meets Chocolat. Bon appétit! (Original Title - Julie & Julia) (c) 2009 Columbia Pictures Industries , Inc. All Rights Reserved.
