Can watch when your blue or when you need motivation to shop!

Rating: 7/10 (18 September 2006)

I went to watch the movie largely for Meryl Streep. And with the opening sequence she doesn't leave you disappointed. To put it simply, this is a chick flick with the girl-losing-and-finding-herself kind of story.
Excluding the nitty-gritty details, I must say that the dialogues keep you entertained. Stanley Tucci does a fantastic job and delivers some of the best lines in the movie. He almost makes you want to be skinny, gorgeous and rich! But Meryl Streep is still the cherry on top.
Personally I liked this film for other reasons instead of its central theme. Although David Frankel perhaps intended it to be satirical,I loved the glamour he has created. I loved the fact that he did not openly mock the fashion world. Some of the lines in the movie especially Tucci's reflect the idea of fashion as art.
All I can say is its a visual treat for any woman. Watch out for the shoes! :)
