Streep's character was terrifying not because she was wild and crazy, but because she was so cool and quiet. I've had teachers just like her and I still have nightmares about them. but I'm with you on Anne Hathaway. folks need to quit casting her as the ugly duckling simply because she's not blonde and is a little more unusual in her beauty. she's gorgeous no matter what. Have you seen Not Another Teen Movie? They spoof She's All That in the beginning and the lead male whines about having to make over his friends' choice of girl because, "She has glasses! And a ponytail! She's wearing overalls!" Anne Hathaway is the victim of precisely this brand of nonsense. Lee, totally agree that the movie was unlikely fluff, but hear me out.

I combated it this year by just doing school all summer long, in little increments, which kept us all from walking outside to the overgrown rock garden and tossing pebbles at each other. It sounds worse than it really is...we did one or two lessons a day, enough to make them feel like they accomplished something so they could suitably run to the far corners of the house for their precious play time. But I still didn't do the dishes every day. ^__^ Good luck to your babe as he heads off to school! Summer boredom sucks!

For example, I, the viewer, was expected to believe: a) that Anne Hathaway was "homey" even though she would look positively radiant in a paper sack during a hurricane; b) her boyfriend, Adrian Grenier--nay, any man--would leave that; maybe he just wanted to get back to "Entourage" c) Meryl Streep was the epitome of evil when the worst thing we saw her do was slam her coat down on Anne's desk repeatedly during a montage. I never saw her as anything beyond indifferent or insensitive, but not the worst-boss-ever-from-the-anus-of-Beelzebub character I was expecting; d) Stanley Tucci has dignity playing every gay fashion designer stereotype known to man A little too much to swallow. ... wait I have a penis, i've never seen "Devil Wears Prada." Best ignore this whole conversation. I tried to enjoy Devil Wears Prada, but it required a little too many leaps of faith. For example, I, the viewer, was expected to believe:
