One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Rating: 2/10 (9 July 2006)

Though Meryl Streep's acting was magnificent, I quickly got tired of watching her character-- it gets boring getting the vicarious thrill of someone else's meanness. The topic and theme of the movie I found totally superficial and did not grab my attention. For how long can one take jokes about a size 6 being fat and snobbism about clothes? I thought the movie was deadly boring most of the time, the only redeeming moment being when M. Priestly goes through a divorce and has a slightly human aspect for that short interchange with Andy. I guess you could say there was some skill in making some of the scenes, but it was lost due to the absolutely deadly boring content of the movie.
