Absolutely Fatuous

Rating: 1/10 (17 November 2006)

The next time your wife tries to drag you along to a movie like this... resist. There are some good chick flicks out there, but this is certainly not one of them. How do movies this bad get the greenlight? A 'comedy' without a single amusing line, a 'satire' against an industry we all know is a self-parody... what is the point? Even as mindless entertainment, it fails, due to its paper-thin plot, limp dialogue and one-dimensional characterisations. This is so bad even the great Stanley Tucci can't save it. I don't understand why Meryl Streep is being lauded for this cardboard cut-out role. And if Anne Hathaway is the next Audrey Hepburn then Paris Hilton is the next Katharine Hepburn. Avoid like the devil!!
