better than expected

Rating: 8/10 (24 July 2006)

This movie was better than I expected it to be. I went in with a group, and wasn't sure what to expect, because the previews didn't look that good. I think I went in expecting it to be very shallow, but it did have a point, and a good ending. Of course, Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway are both very very good in this movie, and wonderful in the previous roles I had seen them in, so it was really a very good movie. It's really about more than just shopping and brand names. You see the way certain characters live and wonder if you would be willing to live that way. It's about choices, and not forgetting about what's most important to you.
