Dans les griffes de la mode

A poorly made film made worse by the fact that so many of its jokes are so inside they will go over people's heads. Yes, I get the fashion jokes. It's not that I don't understand the setting. Instead, much of the humor feels like when someone just has to tell you about the funny thing that happened to them at work, the funny thing that is terribly unfunny once removed from the workplace.

I think Dominique Swain is generally better than the movies she gets stuck with, but even she is subpar in this film.

If you're fascinated by the fashion industry, it's worth checking out. Otherwise, stay away.

Oh, and it has Joan Rivers in it, too. Consider yourself warned.

Seems cheaply produced, tinny sound. Lame production number early in the movie and the movie does not get better. Surprisingly bad with such an interesting cast. Don't waste your time. I was not able to watch the whole movie. It was that bad.

Sad to watch things fall apart. Lots of fashion world cameos for those who are into it, but the writing and story made it difficult for me to watch. With American Psycho, one of the worst this year for me (out of about 40 films so far).

I hope there are people who will enjoy this film, and it seemed like people had fun making it. The best parts for me were the choreographed bits at the start.

In the knowing dialogue, the bitchy jokes and the campy fairy-tale story arcs, this seems like an insider film that will only appeal to status-conscious gay fashionistas.

Some supporting characters were fun in their venality. But no one was really FUNNY.

I wanted to tap the lead actors on the shoulder and tell them to run and don't look back. It was like watching someone fall down the stairs for an hour and a half.

Sorry, but it's not a winner.

This is a very rapidly paced movie. The subtitles go by so fast they are only just readable. It is a name dropping spoof full of cameos that completely pass a novice like me. You have to have background to get this movie.

For me, the exaggeration is obvious. I just need so much more background to get this movie. I'd say the favorable reviews indicate what the target audience is.

Unfortunately, although I catch the spirit of the thing, and regret my lack of awareness, I could not persist all the way through this movie. I just felt left out, looking at what is probably a great movie for the in crowd.

For anyone who has been in the fashion, modeling, beauty magazine or cosmetic industry. You have to watch it after a bad day in the office. You will love this movie. It might be sterotypical but you'll see how true it is.

For all you interns out there, my heart bleeds for you, but there is a silver lining to it all in the long run.
