A lightweight chick flick.

Rating: 4/10 (3 October 2006)

My wife suggested we go and watch this and I was half encouraged because I thought it might be based on a Dennis Wheatley novel.However, to my disappointment it was all about a fashion house. I was so bored in the first 15 minutes had I been on my own I would have walked out. However, I stayed and I must say I enjoyed some of the one liners - it was slowly dawning on me it was meant to be a comedy (Most of the cinema audience were not laughing however). I think Meryl Streep glued it all together with her acting. I cant remember who the lead actress was and I don't care. All I can remember of her was that her bottom eyelids seemed to be stretched downwards like gravity was already working on them.The big screen made some of the scenes really breathtaking to look at but this will not translate to TV I don't think. Paradoxically, speaking of TV it should really have been a TV one off and not a film. I expect to see it in with the £3 bargain DVDs in 12 months time.
