So Boring

Rating: 2/10 (8 August 2008)

I watched my watch more than I watched the movie. Streep was over the top, or maybe that was her character. Whatever--it wasn't holding my attention. Hathaway is always darling and it was enchanting watching her for a while, then that got old. The only character that was funny and interesting was what's-her-name, the assistant, who was overtaken by the brilliant Hathaway character, but she couldn't carry the movie for me. Streep's character stayed her unlovable self throughout. Hathaway learned something, the same old something heroines have been learning since the first movie ever made. Then they all lived happily ever after, I guess. I just don't get the hype on this soporific film. I at least expected a dazzling wardrobe. Even that failed me. It was all so ho-hum.
