I saw and loved the movie! How interesting that Julia was not well-known in France, I did not know that.

@La Grenadine – will you see VO or dubbed? If you see dubbed – I am dying to know which French actress is playing Julia – her voice was so distinct!!! I will buy the French version of the DVD just to hear that!

I didn’t know Julia Child before seeing the trailer of Julia & Julie this week.
I want to see this movie, haha.

I loved reading this post and can only hope that Julie & Julia might be the olive branch in the horrible ‘freedom fries’ debacle. The reality, whether the French are aware or not, is that very few people in the U.S. bought into the ban on all things French. Because, quite honestly, we love the French culture, language, and beauty. Peace comes for understanding and appreciating others not by starting a war over french fries. : ) Here’s to Julia Childs who is promoting peace postumously.

Thanks for the shout out. I loved Julie & Julia. I have a friend that is a great cook and actually has more than 300 cookbooks. Julia Child is one of her favorites. I think because she made the art of cooking ‘fancy’ French food accessible to everyone.
