Julie & Julia (2009)

"Yes" to an entire movie with Meryl Streep as Julia Child in France and a big "no" to any more film time being dedicated to the insufferably self-centered Julie Powell, the depiction of whom was so irksome that it left a bit of "I don't think I like her" residue on Amy Adams.

Every time we left Julia for the whiny Julie, Gary and I groaned. I wanted to fast-forward through all of her portions so we could get back to the good stuff.

An A for Child and a D for Powell gives us...
