the devil is actually a failure in her personal life ?

Rating: 8/10 (1 October 2006)

Meryl steep has given a good performance, living up to her reputation of playing such kind of roles, where a certain amount of egoistic, snobbish persona is required, and she fits the bill. basically, there is hardly any plot outline for this movie, the whole thing revolving round like a fairy tale sort of a string of events, metamorphosing a shabby, simple Andy, some how, i didn't like this name, for a cute girl like Ann, and a flamboyant journalist falling for her, the exotic, high-brow, glamorous atmosphere of Paris, those stunning evening gowns, stylish, graceful Miranda,flash-lighted by journalists, and Ann betraying her boyfriend by sleeping with the handsome, suave journalist. when she goes to Miranda's affluent house, or ,later meets her in the hotel suite, there are some hints, that all is not well in her personal life, and actually she is a very tired sort,covering herself under the mask of a terrorizing, ruthless, callous boss ! but what is that matter, we don't know, exactly. i liked the movie to the extent, that nothing is serious about it, and you could watch the current fashion statement, all those gorgeous dresses, accessories, so pleasing to the eyes ! but what the hell, that boyfriend of Andy, who is no match to her, even otherwise, looks as if requiring a bath, and change of attire urgently, apart from learning basics of cooking, rather than burning toasts ! what's his occupation, we don't know ! why was he shown in so much of a glaring contrast to Andy ? and then, what does she see in him ? in any case, along with Andy, we are also happy, that she has finally bid goodbye to the devil, and walking free, no more carrying cups of coffee, or dare-devil acts of crossing traffic, ending up like poor Emily ! if you don't' want to tax your head, and still want to some moderately good time, go and see the devil, and the innocent, but not ignorant princess !
