Ever since I read Julie and Julia, the story of a New York woman working and blogging her way through Julia Child's Mastering The Art of French Cooking, I've been curious to see how the movie would translate to film. We got a brief glimpse after this year's Oscars, but today the first full trailer is out, and it looks charming.
It appears that writer/director Nora Ephron has beefed up the Julia Child portion of the story, showing her life in France and her own early cooking ventures to go along with Julie's modern kitchen foibles. There's also more physical humor than I was expecting — whacking at things with rolling pins, running from lobsters that escape from pots — and both Streep and Adams seem to pull it off with ease.
Hmm, what would be the appropriate movie theater snack for watching Julie and Julia? The film hits theaters on Aug. 7, and to check out the trailer, just read more.

2this is making me SO hungry!
3I love seeing Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci back together again.
4Looks good. Interesting story
5Oh, this looks delightful!
6Amy Adams reminds me of Meg Ryan! (a good thing!) This looks delightful and inspiring. Can't wait. Nora Ephron hasn't had a really good film in a while. This is going to be good.
7Amy Adams and Meryl Streep... sign me up. That said, this looks even better than I expected. Streep is just phenomenal, she has the voice and the mannerisms down pat, and Adams is pretty much the cutest thing in the world. I'll be there.
8This looks amazing. Can't wait to see it.
9I'm excited for this one. I enjoyed the book, even skipping the weird Julia's life interludes.
10this looks great! I want to cook through Julia Child!
11This looks delightful!
12Yes, it does...seems like it will be a really cute movie.
13This looks great! I love Amy Adams and I had no idea that Stanley Tucci was playing Mr. Julia Child. Can't wait!
14I can't believe we've to wait 3 more months to see this movie
15yes, I want to see this too! Love Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci and Amy Adams
16I cannot WAIT for this release. I've been a Julia Child fan since I was just a kid, and this looks like a really charming film.
17omg, this looks incredibly adorable!! I love Meryl!!
18What is the song played at the end of the promo?
19this looks great! can't wait.
20I too was a little skeptical when I first heard about this movie - I love Julia Child and I love this book! but it looks like it will be absolutely marvelous! Meryl Streep can literally master any character, and Amy Adams is just so sweet and effortless. I am very excited about this...
21I'm in the middle of this book and I hate it. Julie just comes off as so whiny and annoying... I'm praying the movie will be better because the premise is so good!
22The song at the end of the promo is "It's Amazing" by Jem.
23Great trailer! Now I want to go to cooking school.
