not very good

Rating: 3/10 (28 February 2007)

Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep make this film bearable.
it's almost like trying to watch an overly long episode of "Ugly Betty". I don't care if this is based on a book, they totally stole the idea for the film and the book from Ugly Betty.
Hathaway is far too pretty to be playing a girl being called "fat" or unattractive. I'm a man, I have eyes, she's stunning. And nothing Meryl Streep says is going to make me think otherwise.
I feel Streep was only cast in this after seeing Glen Close play Cruella DeVille.
You can see how the plot is going to play out from a mile away and it's far too predictable.
Good for Anne Hathaway fans only.
