Okay so I know it is an older movie, not even really sure when it came out, but I thought it would be a funny movie based on the trailer I remembered seeing. However, it wasn't as funny as I thought. I love Anne Hathaway and Simon Baker( The mentalist and it is a small role), and I'm okay with Meryl Streep, but not her greatest fan. Anyway, what I thought was a comedy is actually not and it was sad they way her friends actually treated her.
If you haven't seen it, Meryl Streep plays an eccentric, egotistical, editor for a magazine called Runway. Yes the fashion industry. Anne Hathaway is a struggling journalist in bad need of a job, and is rather plain, and her name is Andrea and she goes by Andy. She takes the job as the second assistant to Ms. Streep whose name in the movie is Miranda something because I can't remember. The first assistant is Emily, played by Emily Blount.
The transformation that takes place in Andy is remarkable, because she get advise from Nigel, played by Stanley Tucci that if she wants to succeed, she has to really want the job and become the job, and that is exactly what Andy does, and eventually becomes the 1st assistant. She did what the job called for so that in a years time she could get a job working for any magazine writing. Her friends called her names, laughed at her, and made her feel like a villain. Granted she did change, but she did what the job called for in order to succeed.
It is a good movie and we both enjoyed it, but it was not a comedy. If you haven't seen it, check it out, it is worth a rental if you have nothing else to do.
Love, L
