Cute, but not worth the hype

Rating: 8/10 (29 June 2006)

The acting is excellent and the writing is sharp, but I hope that this isn't "the funniest movie of the summer." If you've seen the previews, you know the story, so I won't bother with rehashing all that. I think both Streep and Hathaway are great, and while they deliver their lines well I never once laughed out loud. Every now and then a smile, but I don't remember a single big laugh moment in the flick. If you want a feel good movie go see this, but if you want a comedy keep looking. Also, if you saw the preview and went "I know exactly what's going to happen," you're right. The plot is fairly predictable, but as I said you will most likely leave with a smile on your face.
