The saddest part is that this throwaway of a comedy dumbs down an already frothy book that at least was Not intellectually insulting to women.If memory serves me right, the novel's heroine is a real journalist who feels a bit of a "sell out" since she covers finance as a PR chick, and whose boredom with that world is thinly veiled.

Somehow, screenwriters actually created real smart/ditzy women "back then," instead of brainless, but oh so cute and sexy bimbos who get educated by refined and vastly intellectually superior - because English- Colin Firths and Hugh Grants.
