Didn't read the book, is it as light?

Rating: 2/10 (1 July 2006)

I felt as though I was watching an episode of Sex in the City, and did not know that the director also directed for that series. (Looked it up on IMDb) Although I had a hint when I saw that Patricia Fields did the costumes! Not a big fan of the series. Just like the series, this was a little too much like New York City and fashion as Hollywood imagines it. Thought Meryl Streep gave the whole business some semblance of class, always a pleasure to watch her. But what predictable mediocrity in story and execution. Not the All About Eve quality one would hope for. I like Anne Hathaway a lot, but wish she would do more substantiate work than this light fluff.
