Charming and Delightful

Rating: 8/10 (9 July 2006)

This was a very fun film. Meryl Streep is a comic genius. After so many movies with "dick jokes" (Click) "bathroom humor" (Click)and "vulgarity" (any Martin Lawrence movie), it is nice to see subtle, graceful humor, delivered by a master! The supporting cast wins in their efforts also. The film captured the philosophy, politics and strategies of corporate America and the fashion industry. TDWP shows that the reality of life forces us to make choices that don't always please those around us. The only point that I would make different is that sometimes it is OK to move on from old relationships that have past the "expiration date". Sometimes change involves letting go and moving on. This isn't an indication that the person is morally wrong or has a character flaw. Life changes, people grow and new horizons are to be explored with new friends. Letting go is a part of moving forward.
