role, manages to create something more memorable for audiences to latch onto than I’m sure was initially on the page.

Special Features on the 2 Disc DVD set (the second disc being a Digital Copy in case for some reason you see the need to watch this on your i pod, i phone, or other i torture devices) are so limited they might as well have been left out. There is a blooper reel that doesn’t have anything funny on it, some deleted scenes that were clearly just deleted for the sake of time as they would have fit right in with everything else in the film and a music video that’s completely irrelevant.

The one shocking thing about the deleted scenes was that one of my favorite actresses, Stephanie March from TV’s Law & Order: SVU is in one of them as a store manager who hires and then fires Rebecca. As I said it could have easily fit in with the rest of the movie and definitely would have helped my opinion of it just having her in there. Who leaves Stephanie March on the cutting room floor? I mean, seriously that’s just short sighted.

Overall this movie was obviously not my cup of tea and I doubt many would disagree. There were some great actors in here that I think must have been caught up in the Devil Wears Prada hype who I’m sure realized afterwards this might not have been the best project to sign on to.
