• Stanley Tucci steals every scene he's in with perfect comedic timing and emotional depth
• The film's rushed ending leaves some character development unresolved
• Discussion of the upcoming sequel and whether it's necessary given how well the original stands on its own
• Both hosts give the film high ratings with Phil considering it one of his favorite films of all time
Letterbox'd Synopsis: Andy moves to New York to work in the fashion industry. Her boss is extremely demanding, cruel and won’t let her succeed if she doesn’t fit into the high class elegant look of their magazine.
