Oy, what a boss!
Added 2/5/2010
Who hasn't had a "boss from Hell"?! Meryl nailed the part, as she usually does. Ann Hathaway was fantastic as well. In the end, the movie allows Meryl to show the vulnerable side of her character, which provided me with a deeper understanding of her and made me feel sympathy rather than just not being able to stand her. The ending was perfect, for both characters. You will enjoy this movie more than once.

Kinda funny...in a dumb fun way!
Added 1/31/2010
The Devil Wears Prada is not the greatest comedy in the world and it doesn't really evoke belly laughs, but i didn't feel like i wasted the money on the DVD. Anne Hathaway was a little young to play the character she did, but her earnestness in the role was sorta winning. Meryl Streep is an incredible actress (duh!) and i can't imagine why she took such a mediocre script, but she is funny and believable in this otherwise drecky movie. If the premise sounds like something you'd enjoy, i suggest renting it first rather than buying. It's dumb, but kinda funny...mostly.

Entertaining Enough But Somewhat Pointless
Added 1/20/2010
Anne Hathaway's character takes a job at a fashion magazine, working as an assistant for an overbearing and demanding boss from hell (played by Meryl Streep). Everyone at the company is arrogant, self-centered, and fixated on low body weight. this is in contrast to Anne Hathaway, who comes from a more simple, down to earth background. She is frequently mocked for being a size 6. The plot is an obvious jab at the fashion industry. Streep's character is completely unreasonable as a boss, yet Hathaway bends over backwards to please her (at the expense of her private life). In real life nobody would take the kind of abuse or demands that are imposed on her. Streep completely uses and abuses Hathaway to fulfill her own selfish and arrogant persona. Despite this fact, Hathaway's character actually becomes sympathetic to her boss and seemingly becomes a better person as a result. This didn't make a lot of sense to me and made the whole movie rather pointless. But seeing two of the best modern day actresses in a movie together made the film somewhat worthwhile, at least for one viewing.

The Devil Wears Prada
Added 1/5/2010
In the dizzying world of New York fashion, where size zero is the new 2, six is the new 8, and a bad hair day can end a career, Runaway Magazine is the Holy Grail. Overseen with a finely manicured fist by Miranda Priestly--the most powerful woman in fashion--Runway is a fearsome gauntlet for anyone who wants to make it in the industry. To make Runway the fashion bible of New York and therefore the world, Miranda has let nothing stand in her way--including a long line of assistants that didn't make the cut. It's a job no self-respecting person can survive, yet it's an opportunity a million young women in New York would kill for. A devilishly good time and the most scrumptious comedy. Very entertaining. You will love it.
