| | | the film was pretty good i thought.
Meryl Streep was excellent.
I usually don't like Anne Hathaway (she always seems to have the same expression on her face, very annoying) but she was atually ok in this.
this film made me wanna spend, spend, spend. |

| | | i went into it expecting it to be just like the book which was not the case at all. i'm sure i'll like it on the second run through when i'm not watching it and going, "what the fuck, that didn't happen." |

| | | It was no work of cinematic art or anything, but it was ok for escapism. I was sort of impressed about how they managed to make the guy who plays Vincent Chase on "Entourage" seem so doormatty and average. (Although I've heard that he's gay in real life).
On the whole though, it was a nice movie. Not great, certainly not worthy of a Golden Globe or Academy Award, but nice if you're just needing to veg out. |

this movie was kind of stupid like a remake of the movie pretty woman.
a makeover movie. yuck. good escapism
meryl streep was good. i guess the fashion world is interesting but rather watch project runway. |

| | | the fashion world is interesting and a lot of work goes into it. it is quite shallow though and a business like any other. it was interesting to show how to appreciate it, but not be consumed by it. |

overall, the film is just nice, confection but smart. | Exactly! I just finally saw this on DVD, haven't read the book.
I enjoyed the eye candy and the comedy, but the relationships outside of the "Runway" set and Christian were so fake... I don't see why she didn't go with him over the boyfriend. It's as if the movie was saying if you're a "good person" then you must be true to your boyfriend no matter what! That speech where Nate complains that they don't have anything in common anymore... I really didn't see what they had in common to begin with, except each other. And later, when she tells him he was right about everything: he wasn't right, she wasn't turning her back on her friends for "shoes, jackets and belts"... Similarly, her best friend of 16 years had to give a stupid, melodramatic speech to let the audience that their relationship was such b/c we saw NO evidence of it in the movie... and her reason for giving the speech was ridiculous anyway, given that Christian just kissed the side of her face, please... 
And I don't know, one thing that annoyed me straightaway was: Would a girl a smart and accomplished as Andy is supposed to be, *really* go to a job interview or her first day at work with her practically-uncombed hair hanging all over her shoulders? She would put it in a ponytail at least. I don't like stuff like that, which serves the movie (making sure she's as daggy as possible before the makeover sequence) but completely disregards common sense or human nature. |

In real life, you would have to kill a dozen people to become Anna Wintour's second assistant, no matter how lousy a boss she is.
