Product Description:
AS ASSISTANT TO IMPOSSIBLY DEMANDING NEW YORK FASHIO MAGAZINE EDITOR MIRANDA PRIESTLY, YOUNG ANDY SACHS HAS LANDED A JOB THAT 'A MILLION GIRLS WOULD DIE FOR'. UNFORTUNATELY, HER HEAVEN-SENT APPOINTMENT AS MIRANDA'S PERSONAL WHIPPING GIRL JUST MIGHT BE THE DEATH OF HER!
Amazon.com:
This clever, funny big-screen adaptation of Lauren Weisberger's best-seller takes some of the snarky bite out of the chick lit book, but smoothes out the characters' boxy edges to make a more satisfying movie. There's no doubt The Devil Wears Prada belongs to Meryl Streep, who turns in an Oscar-worthy (seriously!) strut as the monster editor-in-chief of Runway,
an elite fashion magazine full of size-0, impossibly well-dressed plebes. This makes new second-assistant Andrea (Anne Hathaway), who's smart but an unacceptable size 6, stick out like a sore thumb. Streep has a ball sending her new slave on any whimsical errand, whether it's finding the seventh (unpublished) Harry Potter book or knowing what type she means when she wants "skirts." Though Andrea thumbs her nose at the shallow world of fashion (she's only doing the job to open doors to a position at The New Yorker someday), she finds herself dually disgusted yet seduced by the perks of the fast life. The film sends a basic message: Make work your priority, and you'll be rich and powerful... and lonely. Any other actress would have turned Miranda into a scenery-chewing Cruella, but Streep's underplayed, brilliant comic timing make her a fascinating, unapologetic character. Adding frills to the movie's fun are Stanley Tucci as Streep's second-in-command, Emily Blunt (My Summer of Love) as the overworked first assistant, Simon Baker as a sexy writer, and breathtaking couture designs any reader of Vogue would salivate over. -- Ellen A. Kim

- Classic allegory, modern setting
Just a great film that communicates the meaning of happiness in a plot about the fashion industry.Watching the movie, not once did I ever think about fashion, clothing, or designer couture.What I did feel was the emotion created by scenarios rooted by great situational acting, superb direction, and story coherency.Like a good book you can't put down, reading the story progressively unfold, reaching a climatic point, and finally a resolute ending, you feel satisfied by the time well spent....

Rating: - The Devil rocks
I don't care for fashion or for having a devil for a boss, and the scary thing is people like that are actually out there, mostly in the Entertainment Business, but it makes their character all the more interesting.There is no way this movie couldv'e or would've worked without Meryl Streep's most incredible performance to date. She just took each line chewed on it and spit it out as if she really were this complicated woman she portrayed. This movie is fun because of her, of course she couldn't ... Read More
Rating: - Entertaining film leaves trashy book in the dust
This entertaining film adaption of a bad book was a pleasant surprise. Everyone who hasn't been living in a cave in Mongolia for the past several years knows the book was a thinly disguised account of the author's experience as an assistant to Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of "Vogue," the most influential fashion magazine on the planet. I threw the book at the wall after about three pages of poor writing and an insufferable protagonist. In the far better written film, Meryl Streep does a terrific ... Read More

- Goofy movie without much substance
After several attempts to watch this on cable, I have finally seen it all.With that being said, you are probably better off attempting to watch it on one of its numerous cable/movie channel runs.
The story is this: Andy (played by Anne Hathaway) comes to NY in hopes of making it big as a serious investigative journalist, but winds up taking a job that she is not suited for, and does not want, working for Miranda Priestly (played splendidly by Meryl Streep).As Andy comes to realize more ...

- tell me something i don't know
** movie spoiler ahead **i have seen so many movies like this -- want to be glamorous -- find that it is against their natural being or conscience -- and then learn the opposite.
maybe if you never watch something like this, then you will find the movie very original.otherwise, i don't see anything special about this movie.
the reason i give it 1 star is: the movie trailer i saw, it showed 2 minutes of the movie, instead of showing different parts of the movie briefly, which ... Read More
