Julie and Julia/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Award Snub: Meryl Streep. Her umpteenth nomination.
  • Designated Protagonist Syndrome: Some fans found Julie relatively unlikable and considered it difficult to root for her. This is enhanced by...
  • Funny Aneurysm Moment: In her follow-up book, Julie Powell admits to cheating on her husband after the events depicted in the movie. Kind of hard now to watch her say that she doesn't deserve a husband as nice as him.
  • Hollywood Homely: The real Julie is rather average-looking, at least compared to Amy Adams.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: How much better would this movie be if we just had the more of the JULIA part?
    • Also, what if Julie and Julia had met in real life?
