Funny chick flick

Rating: 8/10 (13 February 2007)

This was a very enjoyable watch. Meryl Streep has long been one of my favorite actresses and she did not disappoint in this role. Indeed, I can only imagine what a fun time she must have had revving herself up to be the biggest b*tch imaginable every day for work.
While Anne Hathaway is fast becoming a favorite with me, it was strange to see her living with her boyfriend - the film didn't sell their being a couple or spend much time on their relationship from the get-go and I didn't really buy into it much. I don't know that the movie needed to explore that relationship more but frankly, for the amount of time spent on developing that side of things, they could have been shown as two people dating in separate cities.
Of course, part of the movie takes place in Paris, so that was lovely, lovely. As far as anything else goes, do yourself a favor and watch the gag reel. I always find it interesting to see the deleted scenes and listen to the director's commentary on them but the commentary on the full film was a bit blah and I didn't bother going through it all.
