“Julie & Julia” is one lousy “food porn” film. The food is lit flatly, unappetizingly. It lacks sensuality.

The food is so sensually shot in those films that you really want to make love to it. The food in “Julie & Julia”? Well, let me put it this way: while Julia Child would easily win the “Top Chef Masters” reality show on Bravo, Gordon Ramsay would have no problem in booting out Julie Powell from his “Hell’s Kitchen” with the appropriate f-bomb.
