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 Streep has a ball sending her new slave on any whimsical errand, whether it's finding the seventh (unpublished) Harry Potter book or knowing what type she means when she wants "skirts."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.

 TERRIFIC December 3, 2008

This movie is terrific. Again as for Meryl Streep who is about 60 playing a mother of 2 young girls just didn't fit. Perhaps their grandmother would have been more realistic.
Very enjoyable November 4, 2008

Great film, but use Netflix to rent movies. Netflix response time is phenomenal. You don't have to buy DVDs anymore.

William Shakespeare once said, "Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger." This movie definitely made me stronger. I think what I enjoyed most about it was how it fully immersed the viewer in the world of high-fashion. It was a feast for all five senses! And Meryl Streep was A-MAZING. But when is she not? I swear, I would even watch her in a movie where all she did was sing Bay City Rollers songs through the whole thing! Well, maybe not, but you get my drift! ;) Anyway, she starts out as a real Grade A B at the beginning, but I think you'll be in for a surprise with her by the end. You just have to see it, the way she just... she's so subtle! But also, not, when she needs to be. And it's TOTALLY BELIEVABLE.
Anne Hathaway is also very attractive in her role, but sometimes not. It's complicated.

I bought this DVD for work- i work with teenagers to watch it in relation to the media portrayal of fashion and the bullying tactics in this movie-man meryl is a nazi in this movie-a good story line too-which is nice to see for hollywood!
