It's good if you like Simon Baker.

Rating: 6/10 (22 July 2009)

Honestly, I watched the movie because my friend told me Simon Baker was in it.
Actually, a year prior, my mom had rented it and I said there was no way I'd watch it. I'm not into fashion, never have been, and I don't really like chick flicks. But then again, I must admit it's better than some other in the genre *cough cough I Could Never Be Your Woman cough cough*. Then again, these movies often revolve around a cute guy kissing the leading girl. Anyway, moving on.
I did like some parts of the movies - first of all Meryl Streep's performance, which was brilliant, despite I don't really like her (except in The Deer Hunter) - especially in the scene in Paris where she tells Andy of her marital problems.
I also really enjoyed the scene in the hospital where Emily stuffs herself with food after going through a period of " a special diet" (anorexia). Heartbreaking, that really was.
Also, the small things really lightened up the whole thing - the clothes, for instance /despite my dislike for people telling other people what's hip and what's not/. No offense intended.
I've seen this movie twice, and I already feel like I've seen it more times than A Good Year (which I have seen, without a doubt, more times than any other rom-com like movie).
You should see the movie if you like chick flicks, Simon Baker (or any of the other actors involved), fashion, or if you're just after some mindless entertainment.
