Not bad.

Rating: 7/10 (3 March 2012)

I quite like this film and I think everyone who starred in it was entertaining to watch. Meryl Streep is awesome as always, and so is Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci. Anne Hathaway is likable in the lead as a woman thrust into the fashion industry without any real clue as to what she is letting herself in for.
However what ruined the movie slightly was Andrea's so called friends. They were mean, unsupportive and judgemental, especially in the scene where she gave them all expensive presents discarded by her picky boss, only to have them make fun of her and try to make her look like an idiot in front of Miranda, and the scene at Lily's exhibition where she is basically accused of cheating on her boyfriend for receiving a peck on the cheek from another bloke. (OK, she does actually sleep with him later on, but that is besides the point). If Lily didn't want her skulking in corners with random guys she shouldn't have designed her exhibition that way and then told Andrea exactly where to stand only minutes before. Andrea's boyfriend was OK, but he wasn't very supportive either, considering the fact he knew full well that Andrea planned to leave the position at Runway after a year or so and also how stressful her job was. Andrea was genuinely sorry about missing his birthday. If she had acted like she didn't care or said that she planned to stay at Runway I would have understood his sulking a bit more.
Apart from that, an entertaining hour or two.
