Ok---if you read the book -the movie is VASTLY different.
Miranda is NOT the devil in the movie as she is in the book, in fact her movie character actually has a human side that one ends up actually liking.
Because I read the book before seeing the movie - I was pretty watchful for changes. I feel that they completely changed the main character as well as Miranda...and well I thought the movie could have been WAY better.
Still it was an ok movie - not the best, but Meryl was great (as usual).
Oh, but this is not a departure for Ms. Hathaway. It's still in the same stream of the PRincess Diaries role...if you want to talk about departure - her Brokeback Moutain role was most definitely that.
Anyway - if any of you who've read the book see this movie - I'd love to compare notes!
