The Devil may wear Prada, but she wears it well!

Rating: 7/10 (12 October 2006)

Okay, so it was never going to be a Shakespeare and yes going to see a film about a young woman starting at a fashion magazine and hoping for it not to be a chick flick might have been to high aspirations, but hey.
Anne Hathaway is good, not she's really good. She has a natural and uncanny ability to be perfectly comedic and perfectly normal at the same time. Meryl Streep is superb; she's bitter, cold and more than a little bit cool. They're both excellent, brilliant wonderful actresses, except in every scene starring Emily Blunt. Okay she was always onto a winner having such a fantastic first name! But she is Fantastic, she was my absolute favourite, stealing every scene she was in. How she managed to keep a straight face during this scene was beyond me
Andie (Anne Hathaway) "You look so thin" Emily (Emily) "Oh you think so" Andie "Yeah" Emily "Cause I've been on this new diet, I don't eat and when I feel like I'm going to faint, I eat a cube of cheese"
The writing, and timing of the lead actresses defiantly lift this movie. This film looks gorgeous, as you would expect, and ladies you will spend the rest of the week goggling for "that dress" and "those shoes"! But overall the story line is a tad overdone and the lack of a real plot to sustain 120 minutes make it more of a DVD that cinema film. Grab your girlfriends to laugh with and some popcorn and you'll make for a good night in. 7 out of 10.
