3 stars
Synopsis?
In the glamorous world of New York City, Rebecca Bloomwood (Isla Fisher) is a fun-loving girl who is really good at shoppinga little too good, perhaps. She dreams of working for her favorite fashion magazine, but can't quite get her foot in the dooruntil ironically, she snags a job as an advice columnist for a financial magazine published by the same company. As her dreams are finally coming true, she goes to ever more hilarious and extreme efforts to keep her past from ruining her future. Based on the novel by Sophia Kinsella.

So moving on, thought I shd turn the order around, since it makes sense that you shd read the synopsis prior to reading my thoughts on whether it was enjoyable or not.

It was rather entertaining, a little better than Bride Wars (which, maybe cuz I have never entertained dreams of walking down the aisle) but pales in comparison to The Devil Wears Prada. It stands alone well, and it's a light take that would go well as a chick flick, and I have to say, a suitable movie for a weekday night. Doesn't get me thinking too much, doesn't kill much brain cells, had good company, had sinful makan at Long John's (what? I was stressed!).. all in all, go for it since there aren't that many great movies these days.

Hugh Dancy was quite cute in the show, if that's any comfort... tried to surf for more images of him, so I can post it, but didn't quite get v nice looking ones... so no go. Anyway, for his bio... He's dating Claire Danes.. wah.. mei nu leh!

And that's it from me folks... another long day at work for me tmr. Looooong...
