The book is better

Rating: 6/10 (14 July 2006)

When I saw the preview for this movie, I knew I had to see it. Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway are two of my favorite actresses, and I, like Prada's Andy, work as a personal assistant (though my boss is much easier to work for than Miranda).
However, I have a little rule for myself: if I am going to be seeing a movie based on a best-selling novel, I must also read the book. So, I did. And it was amazing. That said, I should have seen the movie first... then maybe I could have enjoyed it.
Streep and Hathaway gave amazing performances, but the movie simply did not compare to the book. I'm sure the movie is pretty good for those who have not yet read the book.
Bottom line: read the book (it's a REALLY enjoyable, can't-put-it-down read), but make sure you see the movie first so that you won't feel you wasted your $10.
