Wait for the DVD if you have read the book...

Rating: 5/10 (10 July 2006)

Perhaps my hopes were too high? What with a winning combination of a great book and the likes of Meryl Streep, one of the best actresses EVER, I thought this movie would be incredible. Not so much.
Bottom line - if I had not read the book I think I would have enjoyed the movie a lot more. Outside of the general premise of the book, all of the supplementary plots were either non-existent or altered dramatically - not sure why? A somewhat disappointing adaptation I would say. The book was greatloved the book  uncluttered, great character and plot development, etc. The same cannot be said of the movie. Miranda (Streep) can do no wrong in any role she chooses, but Andrea (Hathaway) was marginal. The clothing and accessories were to-die for! But alas, fashion and Streep cannot make an entire movie.
Therefore, my take on this flick is that you will find the movie amusing if you have not read the book and will likely find the movie somewhat disappointing if you have.
