Billed as comedy and romance?

Rating: 1/10 (16 November 2008)

This was a very disappointing film. Streep isn't stretched and I was surprised to learn she'd been nominated for awards. Hathaway showed some talent, and Tucci as the camp art director shone through.
This is a weak treatise on bullying in the workplace excused by competition and excellence.
The name dropping bored me, and I was surprised that a few fashionistes appeared as themselves.
It certainly isn't a comedy other for than a couple of instances of witty repartee, and the romance is at best a sub-plot. The self-imposed fast pace of the fashion/press world did come across.
I wish I'd bought another DVD instead now.
