Julie and Julia

While I typically am a fan of action movies, sports movies, and courtroom dramas, Julia and Julia was surprisingly enjoyable to watch.  Watching Julie go 365 days cooking through ALL of Julia Child's cookbook was inspiring.  Julie's passion was able to carry her through the frustration of balancing a job and the blog, mental breakdowns, and a big fight with her husband.  Apart from Meryl Streep's pretty irritating voice, the movie was good and the way that Julie used food and cooking to escape from her otherwise boring, repetitive life, is what made the movie as fun to watch as it was.
