Julie & Julia - nice...

We follow two different storylines: in 1942 we have Julia aka Meryl Streep, an american woman now living in Paris who loves eating more than anything, and will make a job out of it - first:she learns to cooks, than she writes about it, then she'll talk about it on tv. In modern days than there's Julie, with a stressing job but mostly with b*tch friends, that we saw just once on a lunch date very sex-and-the-city-style. Fortunately she also has a good boyfriend. She wanted to be a writer in life, he says you are! but she says: you're not until you get published, but he's very nice and loves her, and says to her: you love writing, so write! Write about something you really like. For God knows what reason she actually had to think about it. I mean, when she's in the house, she's always cooking, she says she loves it, that it's relaxing, and now she has to think about it!
She gets there eventually and decides to make all the recipes in Julia's book in a year worth of time, and write about it in a blog.
It was a nice movie, all in all, maybe sometimes she speaks too much, but it's nice , simple, not stressing; you won't be rolling on the floor laughing and you won't be in floods of tears either. Yes, they fight and then they make up because they do love each other, but watching it you really do know this, so you're not worried.
Meryl Streep is Meryl Streep, no need to say anything on this. Her husband is Stanley Tucci, and this is a good thing is like me you like a bit of Stanley Tucci in your movies! :-)
It's a Nora Ephron film, and Julie is Amy Adams. I like the ending, nice and quiet like the rest of the film.
ENDING about to be revealed. I say just in case you want to stop reading. Well, if anyone will ever read this, of course.  Anyway, a good warning never hurts anyone.
In the end, Julie learns that Julia has actually heard about her blog; we don't know if she's read it or not, but it would appear that she doesn't like it. Despite this, Julie finishes her blog, and realizes that even if the two of them never meet, what's important is that she did it! She finished it, and she found a friend in the imaginary Julia she used to talk to when she was cooking. It doesn't matter is she was or not the real Julia. It's her Julia, and she keeps loving her. Good!
It all ends well, her life is better now, she's more satisfied, and all is well.
I could rewatch it, if I wanted a nice quiet night home.
