Negative Positive
Title: Casting query
Review: I sort of OD'ed on this. First I thoroughly enjoyed reading Julia Child's My Life in France. Despite Child's own confessions of arrogance and hostility, I willingly went to Julie and Julia, the movie, and enjoyed it, too. Then a friend gave me the book Julie and Julia, and I decided that it wouldn't hurt me to read it. Big waste of time.At one point I thought I had left it on an airplane, and when my husband urged me to talk my way back onboard, I waved him off saying that the book wasn't worth it. But it appeared in my carry-on after all.So, I finished the book. I give it a solid "C".Here's my lingering question: WHERE did Hollywood come up with that darling Amy Adams to render the part of the sharp-tongued, crude, and egocentric Julie Powell in this book? Let's just all agree that it gave Powell a lot of undeserved credit.
Is the review positive or negative?
