The best "chick flick" yet

Rating: 9/10 (2 July 2006)

What a terrific movie! I've seen it twice since it opened in DC last week and have told all my friends to go see it! It's every working woman's story--no matter where you work or for whom. Most of us who have had a challenging job can relate to Andrea's (Anne Hathaway's) situation with her demanding boss, long-hours, constant pages, cell phone and/or blackberry requests. We might have had little or no personal or family life, but we loved our work and thought it was "more fun than fun." We just didn't get the designer clothes and shoes as a perk. But we can enjoy the clothes and shoes in this fabulous hour and a half fashion show. And enjoy Australian actor Simon Baker. Meryl Streep is at her finest and will surely get an Oscar nomination for her role as the very successful career woman you have to admire but hate to love. Stanley Tucci is also super as the mentor we all wish we had had. This movie is for all of us, ladies, with lines and laughs we'll never forget.
