Meh, it was alright. It was kind of fun and all, but I found the main character painfully unsympathetic. Still, the movie looks like fun, and anything with Meryl Streep is worth my time.

Have a good time! Meryl looks hilarious in previews I've seen.

yeah, I've heard it was a pretty good movie. I read the book a few years ago. I read all those chick lit books.

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!
