You can't blame Hathaway, who is a winsome actress, for this resort to cliché. When she has to out-maneuver Miranda's other assistant (Emily Blunt) for the most favored spot in the executive suite, she shows plenty of moxie. You're not exactly certain she knows exactly what she's doing, but you also see that...
