M MALIK i have always liked Hilary Duff since my school days i became a fan of her around 2006 or something if i remember correct in those same years Amanda Bynes & other actress who worked with Disney company were on top there was no sign of Miley Cyrus anywhere in the world also vulgarity was not widely spread Hilary's sister Hailey duff is also a great actress i have seen few of her horror films but Hilary is a icon.all these actresses i am talking about here gave some of the nicest films ever in their careers as for Hilary this one also happens to be a decent one quite much better then most stupid big budget romance films out there this is a TV movie not theatrical and it is worth watching.people and critics just love to hate everything they saw the name Hilary Duff attached to it there we go the bashing starts for no reason at least see the film and good points before you analyze only to Dis it.well i will be honest here i was in for this just for Hilary Duff frankly speaking she never disappoints even if the script is lame her performance speaks for itself despite the fact that she did these type of roles before one can't hate her for being repetitive but love her even more i have to same the camera loves her every time she enters the frame.beauty and the briefcase is no Devil Wears Prada but damn enjoyable for what it is can be classified in usual Rom com but on the whole it is very different balanced its got both business & fashion mixed in.Plot:the story is about Lane a young writer who wants to make big in the world soon after going undercover at a finance company as a assistant looking for her scoop on how to have dating in a office so she can sell her story to a fashion magazine lane just mashes up her personal and professional life too much now what will happen will she get caught or come out as a winner the answer is in this film.the cast:entire cast is wasted wish the lead guys could have been better but the highlight of this film is Hilary Duff she is so beautiful and stunning here each dress she was wearing looked superb on her i mean forget the story and everything i was only looking at her the time just flew by so fast Hilary kept me hooked.Few things wrong:the story is not believable at all Liam was a much better guy for Lane if only he was not a liar now being a waiter is not a bad thing he was hiding Liam was greater then tom the lame dumb boss who looks more like a playboy or a clothing model then a businessman.Overall Beauty & The Briefcase 2010 is a good film for everyone not for kids though my rating is 6/10.Recommended

callanvass (Plot) A freelance writer delves for romance and delivers a story to the Cosmopolitan Magazine about finding true love in the workplace area. She decides to go undercover to find out what it takes at a finance company I actually didn't mind it for what it was. With a title like Beauty & The Briefcase; what do people expect?! Hilary Duff has had a bit of a polarizing experience when it comes to movies. I've always liked Hilary. She's absolutely adorable, and manages to overcome weak scripts with pizazz a lot of the time, and here is no different. This is a made for T.V film, so it's not all that great. But watching Hilary Duff strut her stuff was very enjoyable to watch. Yeah. I dig her, sue me. The only thing that got on my nerves was her constant use of the word "Magic Man" Will I ever find my magic man? They overdid that whole thing in my opinion, and it got a bit repetitive, but that's a minor carp. The rest of the cast do what they have to do adequatelyFinal Thoughts: See it for Hilary Duff. She is the sole reason as to why this movie is fairly enjoyable. It's cute and innocuous stuff that will put a smile on your face if you manage to groove to the plot. Worth a look5.5/10

donnachenn I read many negative reviews on the movie it's self and the actress Hilary Duff. But in all honest, these are the kind of movies i like and everyone is entitled to their own opinions but thats just their opinion- they just don't like this movie. I like this movie and i love how Hilary Duff acts, in fact, i want her in more movies like these. This movie was a breathe of fresh air, it's funny and romantic = romantic comedy = perfection. I saw the comments on this movie and one of them said something like "you've got to be kidding" etc. I kept that in mind while watching the movie and i have to say that the person writing that comment doesn't know what he/she is talking about. Before you judge this movie, you've got to at least "test" and watch it before bashing on it. you can't make the audiences believe that its a bad movie, because some audience such as i, like this movie. The movie was nice,sweet, nothing extravagant just a little romantic comedy.. it's simple, if you are the kind of people that want action, i guess this isn't the movie for you. Plot was somewhat good, the acting was fair, and there were many good looking people (Which you always want in a romantic comedy), as well as most important of all it had a good and happy ending. -It's heart warming. Way better than i expect by the looks of the comments and rating. I absolutely have no idea why people wrote all these bad things about the movie. Why be so critic and not enjoy the movie as a whole and it's own self. Just sit back, enjoy the movie and stop being such a harsh critic, that it doesn't let you enjoy movies. But the only thing i don't understand is that, doesn't Tom have a girlfriend...?? Anyone want to answer to my question aha.Definitely will watch this again on my spare time, and in my opinion; it was a great movie.

stonemaiden058 First of all, let me tell you that, after using IMDb for years, I just now registered so I can post this review.Hilary Duff is at it again... "acting" in a horrid movie. It's not only painfully unrealistic, but while watching you feel like you're in Hilary's cheesy fantasy. The acting is terrible, and the story is very superficial. The ending seems like they felt the need to wrap it up quickly, so it's rushed and just awful! And this isn't a romantic comedy. I love romantic comedies. This is a ridiculously embarrassing story that makes women seem conceited and men seem foolish.Don't waste your time watching this. I can't believe I wasted mine!
