Best film I've seen for a long time

Rating: 9/10 (7 October 2006)

This film was not the kind of film that I expected to like, it being a 'girly film.' I was with a mixed group of about 15 friends. The other boys in this group, I must admit, were not nearly as taken as I was with the whole idea - they were put off by the name alone! However, as soon as I heard that the girls had decided to see the film, I held onto the only glimmer of hope that I could find in the adverts - Meryl Streep. Meryl Streep is a god, a real legend in my eyes, and it was her fantastically caustic, detached character, Miranda Priestly, that made this film what so great. I must say that I found it much better than I expected to. It is the best film I have seen in months. The actual plot of this film is focused on the effects of having a high-powered job, especially after having to claw one's way to the top. The number of headstrong characters in this film make it totally believable - and I must again stress how wonderful I found Meryl Streep, yet again. A must-see.
