Totally agree. Just her eye-rolls alone were tremendous. ;D

Yeah, it was predictable and almost cheasy at times, but overall it's a very fun movie. Anne Hathaway was stunning but even more notable is Emily Blunt who played Miranda's first assistant. She was fantastic!

I completley agree Mandy! I really enjoyed it. With that kind of movie, I expected it to be hollywood and predictable, so I didn't let that get me down. It was cute, really funny and Meryl and Anne were perfect for their roles. I recommend it!! ;D

Loved it. Yes, it's pretty Hollywood, but it's also pretty New York. Miranda Priestly is based on the Editor In Chief of Vogue magazine Ana Wintour, who did everything she could to interrupt the movie from being made. The person played by Anne Hathaway wrote the best-selling book based on the movie.
Superficial yes, but an exaggeration? Absolutely not. I've worked for several Devils like that - some only wore Lane Bryant. In the end Miranda Priestly did redeem the lingering bad taste in my mouth left by those idiots.
Oh yes, in my years of experience, the Devil first wore Jordache, then Calvin Klein, then Gaultier, then Caroline Herrera, then Mugler, then Michael Kors....

I love Streep in this film. She was EVIL! Just absolutely delicious. Anne had her moments too, but the film definitely goes to Streep.
but what's up with Simon Baker? He looked like a zombie. I'm guessing it was intentional, but I can't figure out why?

I was wondering the same thing! He just seemed to be phoning it in. He really just looked and seemed kinda smarmy the whole time. But by the same token, I wasn't overly taken with Adrien Grenier, either. He's much more appealing on "Entourage," and I don't even like him on that all that much.
Where men are concerned, I thought Stanley Tucci stole the show. Not that it was challenging in this case. But I just love him. And he was pitch-perfect this time, as usual. And even our Jake's eyelashes aren't *quite* as pretty as his.
