Summer Fluff

Rating: 3/10 (13 August 2006)

Streep is good. It's worth a trip to see her act in this movie. The rest of the cast are stereotypes: cardboard cutouts. If your into fashion and women's clothes, you'll get a sensory overload. Heterosexual guys will probably not like this movie, unless they're trying to impress their dates/wives as to their sensitivity. The plot? Nancy Drew goes to New York and becomes a career girl in the fashion industry, has a fit of remorse (identity crisis?) because she's "not being herself" and snubbing her friends and being too ambitious. The movie strings together preposterous situations, a little sex, a lot of fashion and glitter (the photography is super) to provide a mildly entertaining summer flic. I recommend your viewing it: just don't expect the Great Movie of the Year.
