It's all about Meryl Streep - ZZZ

Rating: 1/10 (9 December 2012)

Another Meryl Streep vehicle. Talented actress - sometimes, in this movie NO!.Overacting ,hammy just plain ZZZ material. The main thing is it's all about Meryl playing a bitch which from what most people have reported saying about her is true to real life. She supposedly accepted an award with a smug look on her face that it was about time they announced her as the winner as she figured she'd already won before the winner was announced. Maybe she was joking but her speech indicated she possibly wasn't. In this movie she plays Miranda the editor in chief of Runway magazine (a takeoff of real life Vogue EIC Anna Wintour). Mean, nasty and ugly she tortures her staff most of whom are just about as nasty as she is since they work for her it rubs off. We have once nice girl who gets dragged into the nastiness but finally finds herself and gets out to pursue something more meaningful. The whole movie though is about Meryl playing the bitch and very irritatingly at that. I mean warranted I'm sure Wintour was a bitch too but Streep stretches it to a new low. 1/10
