A good movie

I already saw this movie but since it was a while back, I thought I might as well check it out again. Well, sure, I will admit that this movie is actually nothing really amazing but, to be honest, I still think it is actually pretty damned entertaining though. Above all, I think it was quite a milestone for many of the actors involved. Indeed, for Meryl Streep, it was a giant step to show that even though she wasn't the youngest anymore, she could be more than a (the most) talented actress around but also a really bankable one. As usual, she was so good in this movie but I wouldn't expect less from her. For Emily Blunt, it was of course her breakthrough performance. Seriously, she was indeed pretty much pitch-perfect and it’s too bad her character was not used more and kept disappearing as she was definitely the highlight of this flick. Nowadays, she is a really sought after actress but I still wait for something mind-blowing coming from her and I have seen almost all her other movies by now. For Anne Hathaway, even though she was definitely overshadowed by the rest of the cast (even by Stanley Tucci), it was still a nice addition into her resume and she would slowly become one of the most interesting actresses of her generation after all. Not too shabby for someone who started with some Disney feature. Of course, the plot was actually really predictable but the cast was just so good so I had a good time watching this, even the 2nd time around. Anyway, to conclude, I think it is a solid comedy and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
