This film was a huge disappointment. It was almost cartoon-like (maybe because Disney got its hands on it???) and contained very little of the novel's humor, tension, and honesty. Where was Becky Bloomwood's post-shopping-binge remorse and panic?? Why make Luke Brandon her boss?? Why have Alicia's character played by a transvestite? (Sorry, but she looks like one.) Instead of laughing, I was groaning in disgust, and could not wait for the DVD to end. To top it all off, what a complete and total embarrassment for John Goodman and Joan Cusack, whose talents were utterly wasted in this film. What I did like, though, were those talking mannequins -- how cool was that???
