I never thought that I would find myself watching a chick flick about cooking. But because of the great interest that I have always had in the field of cooking and due to the great sense of humor Julia Child always had in her original cooking show “The French Chef.”

So there it was in RedBox and I decided to rent it. After watching it, I found it to be a brilliant movie. It followed the lives of two women who seemed to be ordinary people. It follows Julia Child’s life right before she found her great talent in cooking. It then simultaneously follows the life of a New York government worker and her husband. She begins the task of cooking every recipe in the Julia Child cookbook because her family believes she never finishes anything she starts. Before she embarks on this journey through the cookbook, she begins a blog to tell the world about her progress. In the end, she has many people following her blog and progress and successfully completes every recipe in the cookbook.

On the other hand Child’s life seemed to be a very interesting one portrayed by the movie. She and her husband move constantly due to his job. But Julia still seems to continue on with life in a very happy manner. In the end, Julia finishes the cookbook and the movie ends with her receiving the publishing letter for the cookbook. All in all, I believe this was a great movie even in a masculine perspective. Its a movie of perseverance and in a way following your dreams. I would highly recommend it if you like to cook or would just like a great chick flick.
