I thought the movie was great-and coming from me that's saying something. There is one "sex" scene. But it was tastefully done, because the couple was married. AND all that was shown was the back of Julie's bra as her husband carries her to the bed. But then it cuts to a totally different scene.Another thing would be the one use of the word f**k. It's sort of a random slap in the face, but that's pretty much the worst of the movie. Let's move on to the good parts, shall we? Also, this movie was pretty funny.It made me want to cook something too! And it it left ME with a good, happy feeling when it was over. =)

SSSOOOOOO Not Worth It
Amy Adams is AMAZING and I love her. She is pretty, and a talented actress. THis movie? Not so much. Its corny, and I would say its for ages 4 to 9, but it has TERRIBLE language issues for ABSOLUTELY NO REASON. Its kinda like the script writers thought it would be less corny if people randomly cussed! Its not middle school. People should not be cussing anyway. What ever. Dont even bother renting this movie from Redbox, its that dumb.

Yes
Some swears like co*k, Fu*k, and bit*h. And mild kissing. A short bed scene and some more from time to time. But the ladies in this movie are good roll models.

watch out for the bloody SNL spoof scene!
I thought this movie was great and my daughter and I read the CSM reviews before deciding to see it. She liked it a lot and it has even inspired her to learn some simple French cooking (omlets ala Julia Child style). However, there was a surprise scene with from SNL, Dan Ackroyd imitating Julia Child cutting up a chicken with blood spurting out all over the place after he/she chops off a finger. The movie characters are laughing hysterically at this but the blood freaked out my sensitive 9-year old. Oops! Just thought you'd like to know.

i wanted to eat every bite of it!
this was a fun, sweet, and very funny film. meryll streep was great as julia child, and amy adams added some fun flair to the package. there is a bit of sexual behavior, passonatley kissing couples fall into bed, but there's no nudity shown. there is a fare amount of language, but nothing outragous. overall a great film for kids 12+!

A little taste into Julie and Julia
This is a great movie. It is a little iffy for kids under 11, but if your child or you are a mature 10 year old it may be considerable. This movie is about 2 women, Julie and Julia Childs. In Julia Childs part it is about how she became a famous cook and how she made the Julia Childs cookbook. In Julie's part it is about how Julie, 50 years later than Julia's story, will do all 529 recipes in Julia Childs cookbook in 1 year,and will blog about it. The language concerns me for 10 and 11 year olds because it has 1 f**k and a couple b**chs and s**ts. But that shouldn't stop you from letting your kid or you watch this exceptional movie.

Finish what you've started even if it's a minor one.
Love it, love Julia Child/Julie Powell. Both of these women are very determined to accomplish their work even if the work is a minor one. But I'm interested in Julia Child's life & it was funny for Meryl Streep to use that Birtish-French accent in the film. Mrs. Child always accept that she's very tall & doesn't care a thing about what some people gossip about her.Of course, Julie Powell is a 21st century woman whom I admired her hard work to finish what she has started. Their husbands are good to them and I would love to marry either one of the husbands.

Streep: Show-Stopper Adams; Show-Flopper
This is my favorite movie, but Amy Adams did absolutely nothing to make me think so. I wish it was solely about Julia Child as Meryl Streep is amazing here. Every time the movie's plot swooped over to Amy Adams I felt my heart sink: she is annoying, cynical, and depressing to watch. Thank God for Meryl in this film!

Funny and Charming...Great Entertainment!
JULIE AND JULIA is a fun, charming, and funny movie that isn't perfect, but makes two enjoyable hours fly by. This is, for the most part, due to the two leading actresses: Meryl Streep and Amy Adams. They create in the film an atmosphere of fun and wit, helped by the script from writer/director Nora Ephron that is bursting with wit, charm, and laughs. The film has some strong but infrequent profanity. "D**n" is used three times (twice as "godd**n"), and "b**ch" is used four or five times. A character remarks that a noodle is "hot as a stiff c**k", and "f**k" is used once in a non-sexual context. Married couples are shown tumbling around a bit, but it is not explicit in any way. Both leads are great, strong role models.

I thought it was a very good movie. The acting was pretty good. Amy Adams has had better movies though

This movie was fine for adults or mature teenagers, but why would you want kids younger than teens exposed to the bad language? This movie has nothing to offer younger kids.

perfect for us older kids who saw julia child on tv . . .
--------- i sat there with tears behind my eyelids at re-seeing julia child (streep is spot on... ) and finding out she had a husband and colleagues (with whom she disagreements ) and that the book being published didn't fall in her lap - and laughing at her pecadillos and julie's literary trials and tribulations . . .

The feel-good movie of 2009...
This movie just brings so much happiness, you have to see it a second time. A documentary about a woman named Julie, making a blog about Julia Child, is brilliantly played out by great actresses including the star role by Meryl Streep.

a Different Side of Meryl Streep
Julie & Julia is a great movie! It is mostly about cooking and ro-models. Julie wants to become a good cook by following Julia's cookbook. And she has 365 days to do it. While doing that, she is sharing this on Blog Spot. It's a great movie, but there is a lot of kissing, but this is what parents go through in life and this helps kids understand better.
