Title: Now I understand
Review: I saw the movie and really enjoyed it (other than the needless profanities and slams at Republicans). When I saw the movie I could not understand why Julia Child did not approve of Julie Powell's efforts and blogging. I thought that perhaps given her advanced age, she did not understand what Julie was doing. I was wrong. Now I understand completely why Julia Child did not approve of Julie Powell and her efforts. Amy Adams plays a much kinder Julie in the movie than the real Julie does in her book. The Julie Powell in this book is a self-absorbed, profane woman who seems more concerned with complaining than cooking. If you enjoyed the movie and have not read the book, I would advise you to skip the book and enjoy the fantasy the movie put forward. Reading the book is liable to ruin the experience of the movie.
Is the review positive or negative?
