A funny comedy,which smashes the so-called high society

Rating: 7/10 (4 December 2006)

This film is a funny and beautiful comedy about New York fashion society.It is a satirical attack on the snobbery and crazy eccentricities of the fashion world.Streep is brilliant as she has always been.So is cute Hathaway(but I think she smiles too often that would be normal to the situation;true-she has a beautiful smile).I would recommend the film but as I have also read the book I must say the book is much more interesting and funnier.Somehow the comic effects come from language,which unfortunately is lost in the film. At the end Andrea,the main character comes to her senses abandoning the glamorous but artificial and inhuman world of New York fashion.I wonder how the fashion crowd in Paris and New York have reacted to this film.I bet they didn't like it at all.It was high time somebody exposed the shallowness of this stupidity called haute couture.Perhaps the film should have been more merciless in this.
