I mean - I was really excited to see this film. My friends loved it and so I had was all prepared for a feel good comedy - chick flick.
Okay - now I put this film in my Forrest Gump category. I nearly threw something at the tele - the idea that a woman cannot be successful and maintain a happy life outside the workplace? Didn't we get past this in the 70s?
I mean - I felt duped - I had seen this movie in the 80s already - only it starred Michael J Fox and was called Secret of My Success - oh right, the ending was different - the male lead usurps the boss and takes over the company. Hmmmm.
I thought maybe I was reading too much into things. Maybe I should give it more of a chance. But then, when Hathaway's boyfriend gets a job - promotion - in another city, the implication that it is okay for her to follow him, was cringe worthy. Would this film have had a different ending with Aston Kutcher as the star? Any other thoughts?
