... for the part.
For almost half the length of the movie - there was crack after crack about her style, her looks and HER WEIGHT??? Personally I didn't really see this hapless ugly duckling the dialogue was suggesting. EVEN in the context of high NYC fashion.Personally, I was a bit confused by her accused frumpiness. She was a babe!
Of course there was a fashion transformation that took place after her character was committed and determined to win the respect of Miranda Priestly - But it could have been a much more pronounced & exaggerated transformation, and more fun for the viewer too see.
I thought Streep was wonderful.
