Devil Wears Prada Review Summary

Viewpoints movie reviewers find Devil Wears Prada doesn't quite measure up to its expectations. They feel "the name is more clever than the film," and enjoyed the performances of stars Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Stanley Tucci much more than the actual storyline itself. Hathaway stars in this chick flick as a young writer who takes an assistant's job at a fashion magazine and finds she's "way out of her league." Based on the Devil Wears Prada novel, reviewers found a "subtle moral to an otherwise outrageous flick," yet while it was funny in some parts, others dragged. Chick flicks fans that want a little more of an edge might want to give Sex and the City a shot.

Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt star in this quirky film about fashion (based on the novel). 

In the fast paced, high society, of beauty, fashion and high heels, Andy Sachs is way out of her league when she accepts a job as assistant to Runway Magazine editor Miranda Priestly. ...

Originally, I had no huge desire to see The Devil Wears Prada, as although it's a chick flick which usually winds up in my must see pile, something about it just wasn't that alluring. Yet, the more I saw raves for it, especially the performances of Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, it made me think I was... review »

Okay, a couple of stipulations are in order before I roll on with this review.  First, Anne Hathaway (Ella Enchanted, Havoc, Brokeback Mountain) has the most luscious set of lips I have ever seen on a Caucasian woman-yes even more sensual than Angela Jolie.  And second I love, love, love Meryl Streep (The Bridges of Madison County, Silkwood), and her performance in this movie, Devil Wears Prada was certainly on par with the rest of her body of work.           

That being said the aforementioned movie Devil Wear Prada was a bit of a letdown.  It is one of those movies where the trailers...

The world is full of young, determined professionals who work hard and dedicate themselves to achieving their dreams. Some of these individuals never reach their ultimate goals while others manage to achieve what they want, but often at a price. This theme appears often in cinema and one movie that follows this tune is The Devil Wears Prada, a comedy/drama about life in the world of publishing.

Contents of This Movie:

Andy Sachs (played by Anne Hathaway) is a young professional who dreams of a life in journalism. She arrives in New York to fulfill her career aspirations and lands a job as the assistant...

"The Devil Wears Prada" (Hell on Heels) has an excellent cast, is full of humor and is a movie that I have watched several times and will watch again. I'm a sucker for chick-flicks and this one takes the cake!

Anne Hathaway plays the part of Andy Sachs. She's young, full of dreams, educated and doomed once she is hired as assistant to Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep), magazine editor for one of the top fashion magazines in New York. If Miranda says, "Jump", Andy says, "How high?".

Andy Sachs so wants to be a success in her new job but starts from day one, being treated indifferently by Miranda...

I read the book first, and enjoyed the movie just as much.  I found it to be a witty and comical movie.  The movie did an excellent job coming across with a subtle moral to this otherwise outrageous flick, which did not ruin the fun! A must watch for any urban woman.

I rented this last night thinking it was going to be great and it was so so. I thought Meryl Streep was great and the plot was typical. Girl not fitting in and then girl loving her job and then girl realizing she did not want to be like boss so quitting and going back to old life. It was dragged out although there was some funny parts and some great acting. I would recommend it just so you can say you saw it. Other than that it was not over the top.

I have to say I absolutely love this movie! I think that Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, & Emily Blunt were perfect! The fashions were also fabulous! This movie is inspiring to me because fashion is such a big part of my life. It makes me want to design great clothing and wear great clothing. I love fashion and without it I just wouldn't be me.

A cute "girly" movie, as expected.  Loved Anne Hathaway's role.  She looked beautiful.  Also loved the wadrobe.  Glenn Close played her part well, truly a cold-hearted devil.  All and all an enjoyable flick for a night with the girls.
