Unique comedy based on true story has story lines of love, laughter and food | by CAROLINE THOMPSONA dash of comedy, a hint of romance, and oodles of food. Julie & Julia, based on two true stories, has the ingredients for an appealing movie. Julie Powells, played by Amy Adams, lives in 2002 New York, while Julia Childes, played by Meryl Streep, lives in 1948 Paris. Though they are separated by time and distance, their lives seem to mirror one another.  Both Julie’s failed cooking attempts and Julia’s hilariously bold personality had me laughing out loud. Though I was left hungry for more, the film’s unique plot and charming characters definitely make it worth seeing.
