"Who's the villain?!" Everyone: Andy's friends

[@khaii13]

Id you see your friend flirting with someone else and their bf/gf is also your friend, would you really just let it slide? Now granted, yes, in the movie the friends and bf are carricatures and failures in communication; but still, in principle, they were on the right. And i know it will be taken the wrong way as my portrait is a guy. At the end of the day, Miranda finally smiles at Andrea (though she does not show it to her as she walked inside the car) when she finally walks away to pursue her true passions.

[@DM-nw5lu]

@@khaii13 They acted like villains long before anything happened with the mentalist dude. And he kissed her. Not her him. She didn't try anything until they were on break with Nate in Paris. Like that phone call scene. Gladly accepting her expensive gifts yet then attempting to mess with her career. They were not at all in the right doing that. They were damn hypocrites. Maybe you being a dude does mean you're biased but I know plenty of guys who agree Nate and the friends suck a**. Aside from the analyst. He's fine and the only one who even cared to understand her job. The end was disappointing. Nate did not deserve Andy. And after almost breaking up with her over HER career he expects her to move for HIS career. Damn hypocrite and a horrible partner. He is an apprentice chef. What do you think his schedule looks like?

[@alexibarra4675]

@@khaii13yeah, but taking her phone after receiving NICE gifts which were a perk of the job. Shows you how terrible they were anyway. They know how important it is she answers the phone and still played a little game, they were really bad friends the entire time

[@XxEvilTiggerxX]

All the boyfriend had to do was stick it out for a year. This was always going to be a temporary thing. He knows she has to get through this job and it's going to be crazy hours and demands but that at the other end, it's going to open so many doors for her. Yet he's somehow treating it like she suddenly doesn't love him anymore. So she missed your birthday because of unforeseen circumstances. You still had a good time with your mates and you have a birthday every year. Celebrate it again on a day next week when she's home. If my boyfriend came to me and said look, it's going to be shit for a little while but it's going to allow me to follow my dreams, I'd be like hell yeah, we'll make the best of it. You bring me that cupcake at midnight and I'll eat it while you tell me about how insane your work event was and we'll watch TV.

[@WedrownyGrajek]

I feel you and agree with you on almost everything. Almost everything, because I imagine understanding the circumstances is one thing and then experiencing feelings coming with the circumstances is another. He didn't communicate well at all, that's obvious, but I do understand where he was coming from and can empathise with him in his situation too - in my book putting yourself completely on hold for a whole year is a big sacrifice. Having said that, diminishing her job and her efforts was uncalled for and just wrong on his part.

​​@@WedrownyGrajeki don't understand what you mean by putting yourself on hold for a year? In what capacity is he putting himself on hold?

[@WedrownyGrajek]

@@deer541 In an intimate relationship capacity.

[@kay-jay1581]

⁠@@deer541Putting “yourself on hold” means that he is not Andy’s top priority while she works that job. It means plans will change she won’t be available most of the week, and be more distant. I think BOTH Andy and her boyfriend could have handle things better. He was immature about things, he keeps making fun of the job even though Andi started to take things seriously, so he did act like a jerk for the birthday and the Paris thing. Andi knows her job is incredibly demanding so during the free time she had a home it’s a good time to relax, catch up with friends and get some gifts in advance for important dates. Also it’s important to not make promises for plans. Maybe celebrate things in advance or later date. Make it clear that “I can go out for 30mns- 1 hour but if Miranda calls I have to go”.

[@moi1151]

I’m a guy. I did an internship with a female politician; and worked for a female Director General in the government. For a lot of woman at the top, this is how they have to be to be taken seriously. They have to put in extra effort to make it that far, and then when they get there they have to sacrifice everything - family, relationships, extra-curricular and their health - just to stay on top. It’s sad.

[@morcellemorcelle618]

Andy said it: if Miranda were a man nobody would care

[@Demigod2NE3]

True. All my managers have all been female and they were TOUGH especially my last one. I have to endure 6 years of her constant nagging.

[@LA_HA]

[Edited for grammar] How interesting. I've been hearing this thought process from a lot of women for a Very long time. And it strikes me as interesting that these women never seem to realize that Men have been making these Exact Same sacrifices forever. Just because you don't see something doesn't mean it's not there. Therefore, Andi isn't right in thinking it would be different if the editor was a man. He'd be required to make the Same sacrifices as she'd had to make. If Greatness was easy, everyone would do it. To be in first place and the last word in most industries is no easy task. Coca-Cola isn't slacking off because they're the #1 soda company in the world. Coca-Cola works harder than Pepsi because Pepsi is the #2 soda company in the world and Pepsi wants to be #1 and Coke isn't having it. Do you think for a second Coke is going to hire some kumbaya CEO that's into cooperation, fairness, and everybody getting a turn to be #1; or a fire eating beast that doesn't give an inch to Pepsi or anyone else? Women are just late finding out about this mindset because it's not a female one. They have to learn that the women who get to That Top Spot got what they wanted, and very well knew about The Trade-offs. The same ones Men have been dealing with always. You wanna be a CEO with the penthouse, the town car with a chauffeur, the 7 figure salary, incredible perqs, the envy, the power, the glory? You want to be the leader and sit at the Big Dog table? Well, you can't take the elevator. Ya gotta take the stairs and battle every single boss on that level, and every time you lose, you have to start over somewhere else at or near the bottom. You have to learn every single time and it takes over your life because it takes Everything a person has to get good, and get lucky. Too many Women don't seem to understand how things work at the basic level. If You want to Build something, there's going to be competition, but at least you can have more control. That control has it's own costs. It's just different. Different than if you want to sit in the Big Chair in the place Somebody Else built. You want to be the CEO of Coca-Cola, UPS, United Airlines, Hewlett-Packard, some huge entertainment company, law firm, university system, or HMO? There's someone in That One Seat who wants to keep it, people right next to them who've been working to get in That One Seat, and all the people below them right down to the new Ivy League employee who just started yesterday and is looking up, their eyes on That One Seat. Women aren't special, which is why the ones who think they should be able to play by another set of rules Never make it. Getting to be CEO requires sacrifices, many, many sacrifices. And if you aren't prepared to make them, you may climb up, but only to a certain level. Because the Men and Women who don't have a problem making those sacrifices are moving on to the next round. Andi had what it took. But, she realized that it wasn't what she Wanted. We'll never know what she'll do when she becomes that new employee at that newspaper, what sacrifices she'll be willing to make. But, the first one is likely to be giving up the boyfriend and refusing to let go of her dream job just to chase him around as he becomes the prep chef at some third rate restaurant in a third rate market. Or... maybe now Andi sees a future where being on the rise isn't worth giving up the man she believes can be in her future, and she bails to go work in a less competitive market with him, where they build a happy life together. It's been done, either way

This probably won't surprise you: most of the designer clothes seen in the film are real. It's one of the most expensively costumed movies ever made. The designers mentioned in this movie all donated pieces for them to use.

The direction Stanley Tucci was given for his reaction to Miranda's betrayal: pretend like he was nominated for an Oscar, and someone else's name got called.

[@videohistory722]

Here's how good Streep is in this film: before they started filming, she told Hathaway she was perfect for the role, and that it would be the nicest thing she'd ever say to her. She stayed in character on and off set for most of their time filming.

I love this movie. But here's my biggest qualm about it: no matter what your job, if your boss happens to call you and youre hanging out with friends in a bar and they grab your phone and start throwing it around like hot potato, anyone would get annoyed and tell your pals to quit it! And Nate should have been supportive no matter what Andy was doing to a good job, and still diss Miranda while at it. Shes apologizing at the end at the coffee shop and he's still giving her grief. What if Andy was breaking his balls about him taking seriously his sous-chef job and ambitions. She did after all have integrity about her job, idk what that argument was about, "with integrity"...

[@sawanna508]

Sorry but if I am out with friends at a bar I switch of my phone! Your friends deserve that kind of respect! There have to be bountaries even bosses have to accept.

Oh dang that is a nice little work bonus! Thanks for letting me know!

[@prettyfloralbonnets]

And that's one of the reasons for 'a million girls would kill for this job!'

[@LiaaaaaaaaAAAAAHH]

Honestly, Andy’s friends and bf were being really selfish. Andy told them that this job meant a-lot to her, that she would have to be on the grind for 1 year. Who hasn’t had to do that? The flirting with the guy is bad, but nothing crazy happened. (She slept with him after the breakup.) The missing the birthday thing sucks, but he handled it worse than a child. The friends were so happy to take her gifts, but they make fun of her clothes (which she says she actually likes), demean her dreams, and shame her for doing exactly what she said she would have to do. The boyfriend lowkey sucks. He was so wildly unsupportive of her, and seemed jealous that she was doing well in her job since it was only when _he_ got promoted, he was cool about it. Funnily enough, Gucci and Prada, while popular, are actually not that high quality. If a piece makes it to a vintage store and it is still in good condition it could probably outlast some of the top fashion brands! You stay in the dumpster 😂

[@kay-jay1581]

Yeah a lot of people now days side with Andy and her work ethic and so do I😂 But I also guess it’s easier to sort of be okay with the fact that your it’s very busy for now and you’re not a priority anymore. Then six months pass and your friend keeps making plans and then ditching. Eventually it becomes frustrating. Also Andy could have handle things a little better with her relationships. For example don’t make promises for events. And if an important birthday or date it’s coming up, buy gifts in advance or celebrate earlier or later date. Etc.

[@markwood6056]

Yes and No. Actually we see her multiple times express utter destain for the job, for the workers and for that life style. She is under the impression that doing this terrible job that she hates with a boss and coworkers that she abused by will open doors down the line. But while she is told this, it's just hearsay. Let's put this in a different light. How would you feel is this wasn't a job but a relationship. Where someone you love suddenly changes completely doing a 180 from what she states she likes to what she states she doesn't. With someone who is utterly emotional abusive to her. Would you not say something to that person about the change in her behavior? At the end of the movie, the message is that her friends were right, that the job changed her into someone different. Someone that she doesn't want to be. Now who was honest with her? It was her Dad. Her boyfriend, and her group of friends. Now people say her Friends and boyfriend should just accept those changes and support her? Thats bullshit to be blunt. Her friends and her boyfriend meet her, become close to her based on whom she was. Not the person she changed into. When people in your life change you have the right to comment about it, and you have the right to decide that they are no longer whom you want to be close to. Same with Andy. And I am not saying Andy and her boyfriend are a great match (they very well might not be). But be very clear he didn't change. This was who he was always presented as. it was Andy who changed, and for the bulk of it, Andy by her own admission doesn't like who she became. Now of course because this is a film adaption the characters (on both sides of this issue) could be very different. making no judgment about how the book portrays them through he course of the story.

[@jazziered142]

I don't know, Andy's friends and boyfriend pointing out she's in a toxic work environment can be a good thing.

[@hxpewxrld]

I think the friend's reactions were justified, they didn't really turn on Andy till she deserved it. But her bf was judgmental from the beginning.

[@sawanna508]

You don't say! Of course they are not better quality since you buy a lot of money for the name. Makes it only worse.-when make they fun of her cloths? Ned just says he liked the old ones.

[@videohistory722]

The pursing of the lips is WHY she moved up the preview! She KNEW it was going to be a catastrophe. We see her looking right at it in the sketch book right when Andy walks in.

[@videohistory722]

For most of the scenes in the office, Emily can be seen running around, because she thought it would be true to her character to always be moving around doing something.

[@videohistory722]

You know why the assistants all end up the same way? Because they all treat the job the same way. Like it's just a stepping stone towards the career they actually want. So she takes a chance with Andi because she thought she'd be the one to be okay with the job. And lo and behold, she's treating it the same as everyone else.

[@promisemochi]

yes i can see why miranda probably felt jaded. i can imagine it's the same or worse today in the real world with everyone wanting to be influencers and get "content." a lot of people probably simply used the job to get ahead. which, isn't anything wrong with necessarily, but miranda wanted someone who could be different. she thought she'd found that in andi.

[@0Clewi0]

If the job is that demanding in hours and you can't make enough money to live in the city without outer support of course people will see such job as a stepping stone. Of course Andi didn't want to be an assistant, the first thing she said is that she wants to be a journalist.

No, she's not wearing designer clothes anymore, but she's not wearing her old clothes either. Because THAT'S the real impression the job left on her: finally understanding the importance in putting some effort into your appearance, even if it's only for yourself.

in the end you can see the new-found confidence she gained through the experience. i don't think she and nate would get back together, or if they did, it wouldn't last. two seperate places in their lives, different goals, etc. she's not the young college girl he fell for, and that's okay. people grow and change. in my head, they parted ways amlicably and with respect.

I like the changes made from the book, especially having Miranda no longer be directly based on Anna Wintour. It allowed Meryl Srreep to use her remarkable talent for the purpose of creating an entirely new person.

That’s on top of all the non-fictional characters she’s also played and also given fantastic performances.

Agree. Her boyfriend and friends are insufferable. At the end of the day, her friends love the perks of her career, but not what she's doing to get them those perks. And that little "I don't know this Andy" is before she ever sleeps with the other guy. She's giving Andy this grand dressing down for *talking* to someone. And then there's Nate, who should be crazy busy himself, but instead whines and pouts and stamps his foot at her. And at the end of the movie, he's having her accommodate his career move to Boston. Like, what? You're asking of her what you flounced around tantruming about the entire movie? They're all terrible people.

[@sawanna508]

@@prismmonkey it's not about the working hours alone it is about her change of charakter which is not the same!

And at the point of "I don't know this Andy" she smiled about a kiss from another guy and that kiss was not a "brotherly" kiss. -Besides in every movie with a workoholic people are on the side of the wife married to him.

Plus she rushes home from the Gala when Christian offered to introduce her to someone who could excel her career in writing, but no she rushes to him and he’s snarky and miserable. Her other two friends are toxic insulting her job and Miranda, Lily didn’t mind the near $3k bag she just snatched, she gave them around $5-6k of gifts from Miranda and they insult her and jeopardise her job. I think the reason that working for Miranda for a year is that she’s a total of her industry and as her reputation she teaches them skills; time management, adaptability, demands and to strive for excellence in their work.

I think it’s important that the screenplay shows Andy’s friends and boyfriend as being continuously selfish and immature in order to better highlight Andy having to stand on her own without the support and empathy of even those people she (rightfully) should have expected would be there for her without question. This makes her character’s journey more substantial by revealing Andy’s strength and self-reliance in the face of obstacles occurring not only at work but in her personal relationships too. This seems to surprise even her, and that resilience is shown building her confidence throughout the movie. It also puts the viewer even more in her corner by making us realize how strong her character actually is, something we weren’t necessarily expecting from the beginning.

[@Saeiyu]

The fashion industry is highly demanding. I think the scene with the run through is especially important once you get the whole context. When Miranda says "Countless jobs depend on this" She means it. She is not talking only about the designer, seamstress and models. She is talking from her perspective as an editor, the publishers, marketing teams, the newspaper salespeople, the people who sell these items, those who buy the items to put in their stores, the ones that make the materials, shipping companies. Fashion seems like a vaid industry untill you look close and realize how many people are impacted by it and how one piece of clothing might go through hundreds of people through tens of processes before it gets to you, and after you give it away it goes back to the cycle of vintage sellers, on and on until it ends in a landfill. It is quite the trip if you ask me. It is also highly detailed which means that if something goes wrong the losses could be from thousands to billions at the least. Is there any way anyone can be less than stressed in those positions?

This is one of my favorite dramedy movies, just because the acting and writing are so superior to many of the movies of the time and pretty much any movie of today. I don't own a lot of movies anymore, but this one has stayed in my hard copy collection. I was never a person who was into typical fashion, but I did find myself really appreciating what goes into it when this movie came out, which was when I was dressing in "early mother" and was all about the comfort. I do love a good makeover movie, however, so long as the soul does not get made over in the end.

Great movie. Good reaction. As a casting director I can tell you that you don't need brand clothes to look expensive. Knowing what and how to wear clothes (good quality) makes a big difference. Brand clothes are more of a marketing tool... Nowadays. 😊

Stanley Tucci is the MVP of this movie for me!

Miranda's movie role was originally written for Glen Close, but she turned it down, cause she didn't want to be typecast.

Regarding your intro: I don't know if it was the same when this movie was released in 2006, but by today's Prada (based on what they advertise on their website) is a complete fashion brand that covers clothing, accessories (incl. jewelry, bags, shoes), cosmetics, perfumes, and home decor (incl. tableware). It even includes very fancy game sets.

It definitely had a broad range of products in 2006. From 10 Things I Hate About You (1999): "See I like my Skechers, but I *love* my Prada backpack."

Another movie with the dynamic duo of Streep and Tucci is "Julia & Julia" about a woman who blogs about going through the famous French culinary masterpiece written by Julia Child. I'm underselling it by stating it's a great movie and you honestly Have to put it on your Must See list

[@fayesouthall6604]

Boyfriend was fully aware her job was for 12 months. As a chef his hours are crazy too just at different times. If he had patience and been supportive.. her friends were wowed by her job but thought she was getting above herself until they grabbed the goodies. Miranda was a Dragon but she understood Andy. Hence her reference was so good when Andy went to work for the newspaper.

[@lisaleyendekker8305]

I'm not a fan of the ending where Andy gets back together with her Ex. She was evolving while He stayed the same. He wasn't right about everything, she was learning and becoming a different person, and that person was driven and confident and good at her job. The fact that he didn't want her to change and be the same person she was before speaks volumes about his view of her. it would have been better if she just realized she is a different person from where she started, and if he couldn't accept her as she is, then they just aren't right for each other, because we saw plenty of times that Andy likes the person she became even before Miranda pointed out how similar they were.

[@donkelly4718]

In the book, Miranda was so much more tyrannical than they showed here, and, yes, people that actually work in the fashion industry, especially the big named people really are that mean and dramatic. In fact, the character of Miranda was fashioned after the real life chief editor of Vogue, Anna Winter. Its obviously an exaggerated caricature, but still. The movie did do a good job of showing Miranda sweep stability though

Lot of people miss that Andi should've had a handle on the situation BEFORE Miranda called her: All Andi had to do was check the weather reports before she left, and upon seeing there was an impending hurricane, get in touch with someone who would've told Miranda she had to leave. At the very least, at that point, Miranda has a choice to leave and make it on time, instead of being stranded.

[@kool2btrue]

Another thing to point out is that the Miranda argument Andi walked onto was about Miranda missing an event due to the storm. Later when Miranda breaks down about the divorce and Andi asks if she could do anything else, Miranda says "your job". Full circle moment, where it is implied that when people fail to do their jobs, Miranda's personal life is affected. Miranda still chose the job, but it brings up some nuance to her character's demands. She actively sacrifices a lot for her career while all the people around whine.

[@sawanna508]

Miranda should have checked the damn weather report herself! She is an adult woman. Beside we don't know why she was there. What if the buisness she addented to lasted to long to get out of there in time? Blaming that on Andi is unfair there are just things out of her control.

@@sawanna508 She does overwork people, but the point is that she also overworks herself. People want to be her, but don't want her burden. They all have the choice to leave or rise to the challenge from her POV. After all, there are countless people lined up for a position at that company. Sure Miranda could have checked the weather, but as @videohistory722 mentioned, it was Andi's job to make sure this didn't happen at all. Is it an unreasonable expectation? Sure it is. I'm just pointing out Miranda is not cruel for the sake of being cruel, but rather she holds her employees at the standard she holds herself, for the very career they chose.

This movie was made by Meryl Streep's performance. Her timing with the quips and facial expressions is incredible. It helps that she has experience both as a serious stage actress *and* as a camp comedic one -- she's fantastic in Death Becomes Her, alongside Goldie Hawn and the ever-fabulous Isabella Rossellini.

[@a.g.demada5263]

I read somewhere she refused the rôle the first time

[@agenttheater5]

29:37 I've had a look at two earlier versions of the script. In one of them Miranda talked about herself a bit more, about her dads job, living outside the city as a child, all very unglamorous and while they were probably fairly stable money wise they weren't rich, and how she'd read the fashion magazines at the train station every day and knew that that's the life she wanted, that was the world she wanted to be a part of. In both of them, she talks about how her husbands always say that they don't want a housewife and that they admire how dedicated she is to her job, and then they always end up leaving her for focusing on her job, and how she'd honestly thought this husband would be the one to stay.... We see her in both casually dressed, without make-up and red-eyed from crying. Then we see her surrounded by the press, with flawless hair, make-up and clothes, her face expressionless until she gets into the car when she takes a deep breath. We see how much it takes for her to not show anything to the public. People attack as soon as they sense a powerful woman's weakness.

[@videohistory722]

29:48 The way Miranda talks here reminds me of Michael J Fox in Scrubs. "Everybody's got burdens, and I am not gonna be one of those people who dumps mine on everyone else."

[@morcellemorcelle618]

Andy said it: if Miranda were a man nobody would care about her behavior

[@sawanna508]

If Miranda was a man I would call her a mean asshole and an abuser ( I mean mental abuse)because she is a woman I am able to cut her some slack. But there are still moments when I wonder whether her display of emotions is manipulation or genuine.

[@jdb101585]

Yeah, it's like that in the design industry (I'm in interiors), *especially* on the luxury end. There are a lot of perks, but it's long hours and very stressful. Constant time management demands. Is it worth it? Sometimes. When certain things come together it's absolutely phenomenal. It is exhausting though and the perks don't always make up for it, although people outside these industries don't always seem to get that. 😅🙃

[@sawanna508]

When I was in highschool I didn't fit in with the others. At some point other girles suggested to me to wear more "modern" cloths. At that point I wore cloths that were confortable or just different form other teenage fashion, also some hand me downs because I was not much into shopping. So I went shopping bought new cloths but I didn't feel comfortable or got more confidence wearing them, I felt naked. And the worst thing was. I remember buying purple velvet pants that were artifically aged at the knees so the black plasticy fabric undeneath was revealed the rest of the pants was shiny(at a shop that was not one fo the cheepest) and I was so proud of it and thought finally I was wearing the lates fashon. I even liked to wear it along with the top I bought in the same shop. The first time I wore it a school a guy from my class said to me mockingly "What are you wearing there is that modern now? Because those pants looks so old." I almost cried alsmost ruined my joy in wearing those cloths. And in the end I was right from the start putting on different cloths didn't help me a bit fitting in. That's why I don't like make over movies that much. - I know Andy is in a different position since she is working in the fashion industry but I still don't like the way she is treated. -Besides don't forget always wearing the lates fashon costs money even if you don't buy Prada or Gucci.

Most people don’t realize this but the main villain is Anne Hathaway’s boyfriend. She could’ve had a good career and well settled job that pays well, not to mention the social hierarchy but she had to leave all behind for him. Any person who comes in the way of someone’s prosperity and success is a villain. If he had loved her he wouldn’t have hold her back and let her be successful.

Her Boyfriend didn't force her to quit, she did that on her own. She could have stayed and never met up with her boyfriend, so both would go their seperate ways and aknowledge they grew apart. Miranda was the only villain in the movie.

It made it seem more like he was jealous of her success more than anything, it wasn't even like she was avoiding him on purpose. Miranda showed more support than her boyfriend and her friends combined. Welcome to reality, not everything is sunshine and rainbows. Bosses are there to keep everything and everyone on schedule, there's nothing wrong with being demanding, especially in such an industry.

It screwed up tbe timeline and left out the majority why the boyfriend and friends where mad at her in the first place. Andy screwed up big time multiple times in the novel and they gave her multiple chances and forgave her every single time. The movie just skipped all that and decided to just wing it. She doesn't even get back together with her boyfriend, but ofc they had to change that for the movie as well. And no, those bosses deserve to be called out for their shitty behavior and need to be replaced. Are you a boomer by any chance? 😂

[@todddepue681]

I've worked in the fashion business for almost 30 years. Not quite at the level portrayed here, but early on for several years I had a Miranda-like boss. Very demanding, high expectations etc. She also had the intimidating habit of giving your outfit a long up-n-down look. She could also be very generous with gifts and perks, which was great as long as you remembered that she played favorites and to enjoy your moment while it lasted. It was def trying at times, but I knew I had a better job, with decent pay, perks and benefits, than most of my friends who had the same education I had but were working at some store in the mall. In retrospect, I can say I learned so much from that woman, about business, life and style, that I still remember today. She also provided me with lots of great "I once had a boss who...." stories that I still tell.

Andy definitely didn't buy the clothes/shoes/bags that Stanley tucci's character picked out for her. She didn't make nearly enough money to afford probably any of it and definitely not all of it. The Chanel boots alone were probably $2,000 or more. Maybe a little less back then but I mean adjust for inflation and it's pretty much the same thing. And her dad was just giving her money for rent because it was implied she had been telling her Mom she was worried about money. I don't know if it's an actual thing that's allowed for certain people who work in the fashion industry but I was always so jealous of that part. Getting to snag all of that for free would be amazing.

I think the only thing that really bothered me about this movie was Andy's friends. She gave them some fantastic gifts and in that very same sitting they messed with her phone and her job which was where those gifts came from. Why?? Did they really not realize those two things were connected?? Ms Streep was fantastic in this. I cannot really complain about the tough woman boss lady routine as it seems women in higher levels of any company, especially in the time frame this was set in, end up having to be tough or end up kicked around and stepped all over. She nearly was in the end. Things eventually have to change and at least as the tough boss lady she was able to at least pull strings to get a choice of replacements for herself. Tucci also played the dad in Easy A and was second hand to Cher's character in Burlesque. He rocked in Hunger Games too.
