Streep's worst hour
1.5/4 stars

A boring, cynical satire of the fashion industry that is neither pointed or funny enough; there is one very funny bit when Streep requests her assistant fetch her the unpublished manuscript to the next Harry Potter book (which supposedly isn't even written yet) and even that backfires when the assistant actually finds a copy. The film's message is too obvious and sappy to make much of an impact and Streep's character is so overbearing that not only do we hate her, we can't even enjoy hating her. Final Grade: D+
