* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Several sources discussing the movie (such as a [[https://www.cracked.com/article_19564_6-based-true-story-movies-with-unpleasant-epilogues.html Cracked article]] and a [[https://youtu.be/waL2lJVbAf4?si=wua3psuuMfFn6H_-&t=996 video by Lindsay Ellis,]]) make a point to show how the inciting incident that encourages Julie to start the blog (dissatisfaction with her job) comes across a bit tasteless since her job was working for an organization that helped victims of the September 11th tragedy. While this was true to real life, the movie made the choice to frame it less as "pained over the constant misery and tragedy" and more as "frustration with irritating customer service calls," which had an added side-effect of making Julie come across as a bit more callous than intended.

But she's still portrayed by the same slender Amy Adams (who claims she gained a few pounds during filming but never bothered to weigh herself).
