fun fashion

Rating: 7/10 (30 July 2006)

Meryl Streep is outstanding, and Anne Hathaway is adorable. Mr Tucci is GREAT in this movie. The fashions are cutting edge, and impeccable in this movie. The storyline was like a bad fairy tale. I know of no one that would go into a job interview without combing their hair, wearing an ugly, wrinkled jacket, not knowing who their potential future boss is, and know nothing about the company that they would wish to work for- and expect to get the job because they claim to be a "hard worker". An ambititous man would be expected to work long hours, and be promoted based on their abilities. As the film progressed- I found the actions of Andy's friends to be immature, and unrealistic. Grasping a $1900 handbag from Andy, and then telling her that she has changed- in the same scene. What was the point of making Andy the victim of everyone's abuse in this movie? I know a lot of women who take care of the kids, and everything else too, while their husbands travel extensively for work- and that's OK- but this movie asks us to feel sorry for Andy's pathetic boyfriend because she missed his birthday party? "Office politics" exist everywhere, and the ONLY reason that I find this particular political story to be interesting is that the stars are good actors.
