Very entertaining

Rating: 9/10 (30 June 2006)

I went to see this movie because of the cast. My thinking was, with the likes of Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci, something good would have to surface. My thinking was correct. This is simply a good story. Meryl Streep plays her "evil" role to the hilt but still manages to make you like some little part of her. Stanley Tucci always amazes me as he turns up when I least expect him and nails his roles. This one is no exception. Ann Hathaway does a good job going from college prep to hat couture. She is a very lovely actor and one that should continue to grow. The rest of the cast was equally entertaining.
Do not go expecting some great life lesson but, if you want to see an interesting look into the fashion world, watch a few people question their choices and some others who just do not care who they step on, this is a good choice as an alternative to the action and animation movies out there. The movies weaves a good tale and, even with the expected ending, still made me walk out smiling.
