Sublime - a breezy, sexy, party of a movie

Rating: 8/10 (4 December 2006)

Meryl Streep is wonderful. Aloof ice queen with a vulnerable side. It is the latter that stops the character becoming a caricature and prevents Streep from repeating her Cruella DeVille performance.
Hathaway's contribution to TDWP ticks all the boxes and she delivers consistently. I didn't warm to her especially, but didn't really need to - as her "Regular Joe" role allowed for the eccentricities of her surrounding characters to shine.
Emily's sarcasm and cutting, dry comedic precision was in a word, Britsh. She was excellently cast and deservedly so. I look forward to seeing her in a bigger role very soon.
The male characters are all very attractive and charming - but this is a very female film. The women are powerful, ambitious, successful and above all - fabulous.
Some have criticised the "wrapping up" of the Andy and Cliché-nice-boyfriend storyline. In all honesty, I barely noticed him.
At last, a film where fashion-conscious women aren't portrayed as brazen bimbos, and the men... are just a nice accessory!
