Horrible main character


I haven't seen this movie in years, and once was more than enough, but I was recently reminded of it. I was surprised it got as high as a rating as it did.

Did anyone else find the main character unlikeable? She was not only unsympathetic to 9/11 victims, but she actually seemed annoyed with them even though she had some kind of job where she was supposed to be helping them. She also seemed like a huge attention hog who was doing nothing more than trying to ride on the coattails of Julia Childs, who, evidently, also didn't like her or ever condescend to speak to her (good for Julia Childs!) The scene with the lobster was the worst. Are we really supposed to feel sorry for her that she "must" boil an innocent creature alive just so that she can reach her stupid goal? Why didn't she just kill it beforehand? I felt sorry for the lobster during that scene, not her.

I usually like Amy Adams, but not in this. If the character was that bad in the movie I can't imagine how unlikeable she must be in real life.

I like Amy Adams, but I wanted to slap her character in the worst way.
