surprisingly awesome

Rating: 9/10 (8 August 2006)

I didn't read the book, and had no idea what this movie was about...and still enjoyed it. the movie made me examine my life and find what i need to do to be fulfilled. Ann Hathaway portrayed Andi well, even though i cant look at her the same after Broke back Mountain, her fashion was on point, and she didn't overact. I do love the fact that Ann's character didn't change everything about herself, just a little makeup, a hair trim and some new/stylish clothes...OK, so it was an overhaul, but she was very put together and classy. Meryl was the best part of the movie...a great boss to work for...someone who makes you prove yourself and your values...straight forward is the way to be! Emily was deceitful, transparent, and fake...everything that the fashion world seems to be made of. I think that the product placement was pretty "in your face," but necessary for this type of film...the Tab energy soda that flashed for two seconds was the worst example of product placement.
