Overrated

Rating: 4/10 (1 April 2007)

Although it wasn't terrible, I still thought this was totally overrated - Meryl Streep turned in a good performance as expected but all the furore over Emily Blunt escaped me. She was mildly funny but certainly not a comedic genius as I have heard reported more than a few times. I thought the story was predictable and the ending was a disappointment. Anne Hathaway was the same, only older, as her character in The Princess Diaries - all sweet and innocent - and only managing to be "nasty" for a matter of moments! The mentions of all the designer names may be lost on someone that does not follow fashion perhaps making them think they are missing something in the plot - which they're not.Harmless fun but certainly not one for my collection.
