One of the most fun movies I've seen in a long time!

Rating: 10/10 (17 July 2006)

I thought this movie had it all. I can understand how this movie may not be a top ten for everyone, but I can guarantee that no matter your age or gender you will be NOT disappointed.
Why I gave it my highest movie rating thus far: 1) it was light hearted, the fun clothes and sarcastic comments had me and my girlfriend laughing out loud 2) it had it's serious moments -realizing your becoming distance from friends and family; realizing what you will and will not do to get ahead in life 3) as always I believe that people often rate movies the highest when the situations/characters are most relatable to themselves- therefore being a 20 something female trying to juggle work and relationship and friends and co-workers I identified with this movie completely. I understand how she felt first starting a job where no one gave her a hand, I understand how hard it is to submerge yourself into a new phase and yet keep your same characteristic. 4)Meryl Streep and Anne Hathway are wicked in this movie, their characters unbelievable realistic Yes the character Miranda is extreme but when you think about it how else do women in today's society get ahead? Most of the time they do have to be extra cold and workaholics to be taken as serious a man in the same position.
5) the thing I loved most about this movie is that it ended up surprising me in the end by not making this a "she's really a softy underneath it all" feel good movie. I thought for sure that in the end Miranda was going to realize what a bitch she had been all the years, then have an epithany and her and Andy were going to end up being best of friends drinking tea together. I absolutely loved the car scene when Miranda revealed that she had played ruthlessly to end up where she was ( and is that really a bad thing in this society? would it be more understandable if Miranda had been a man? business is business right?). After seeing the car scene I thought the title of the movie was highly highly appropriate and loved Meryl's Streep calm portrayal of such a realistically cold, evil and greedy person!
Great movie, go and see it!!!
