Close one. I remember very little about Lars and the Real Girl outside of the movie's premise. Of Julie and Julia, I remember quite a bit, but not all of it was good. I think I'll go with J&J here.

Lars and the Real Girl is probably more serious and ambitious: also, more balanced. Julie & Julia is torn between the incredible Meryl Streep/Julia material and the just-above-average Amy Adams/Julie fluff. But the Julia material is enough to carry the movie, and Streep should've won the Oscar, she was that good. J&J wins.
