Grade: C+


This was a cute look into a specific period of time in this woman's life when she is looking to figure out what she is doing with her life, and through that journey decides that she wants cook her way through Julia Childs cook book, and write a blog about it, which ultimately becomes well known. This had a wonderful combination of funny, and true to life, and sweet, and more. It had it's ups and downs that kept me interested, and that's what I think is the most important part of a movie.
