Genre: Feature Film-Comedy Rating: PG13 Release Date: 18-SEP-2007 Media Type: DVD 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 Streep has a ball sending her new slave on any whimsical errand, whether it's finding the seventh (unpublished) Harry Potter book or knowing what type she means when she wants "skirts."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.

Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great movie!Great movie. Really funny. As usual Meryl Streep plays her roll to the hilt, she's perfect! Lots of fun! Quick and easy purchase thanks to Amazon.com. Rating:  - Over Promise, Under DeliverMuch praise was given to this less then interesting film. A two hour waste of time unless you are looking for something that won't require the use of any brain cells while viewing. Rating: - Less than expectedFrom the widespread raves, you'd think this fairly thin coming of age tale was Shakespeare. It's not. It's an adaptation of a book I never read, but the title was slapped onto the movie to help sell it without any true reference to it in the film. Meryl Streep is the one to watch here. Her performance is outstanding. But the rest is rather cliched slapstick. I expected something more sophisticated. Silly me. Rating:  - It's fluff, but it's good fluffAs has been said in other reviews, it is truly the stellar cast and acting of this film that make it wonderful. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the fluffy plot would bomb. But the actors are fresh, funny, and very much into making the movie work. Most of the joy of watching this is indeed the actors and their corresponding characters. But do not be mistaken by the fluffy plot comment. While I'm sure that this is the type of movie that would drive many nuts, those that can appreciate simple ...

I expected it to at least try to say something about crass consumerism and the ostentatious waste which fuels, along with gossip pages, our trend-obsessed culture. However tired the anticipated moral might be, and however saccharine we may expect its delivery to be based on the dozens of movies which have tackled the same subject, I ... Read More |
