ChickChat Movie Review: The REAL star of Julie & Julia
image

Yes, you should see Julie & Julia - especially if you're a guy.

In addition to award-winning actors, mouth-watering food, a clever story, and a tale of two women who get saved by food - I submit "happy marriages to perfect men" as the real star of this movie.

I got to see it with one of my bestest girlfriends, a large popcorn & Sour Patch Kids. We should have seen it with our husbands, or dragged any single guy we could find so they could see how men should treat women.

The REAL star of Julie & Julia shows two relationships in two different eras, with the world's two most supportive husbands. Don't get me wrong - I'm six months pregnant and loved watching all the food. And I adore my husband, as does my friend. But the only moments when we looked at each were when the husbands did something SO thoughtful and SO supportive that we had to make eye contact and psychically ask each other, "Where did they find these guys???" And there's even a big ol' blow-out fight with one of the couples!

There was a whole article in The New York Times about how rare it is to see a happy marriage on screen, let alone two, and how Nora Ephron got the mojo to portray these two couples as happy. Click here if you missed it...

This weekend I saw District 9 - which was better than I thought. The only problem I had was believing that the hot girl was married to the goofy guy.
