boring, clichéd, predictable, and unfunny

Rating: 3/10 (18 February 2007)

"The Devil Wears Prada" is an extremely overrated film that should only appeal to women. Heterosexual males should not even give this movie a chance because it is unbearable. "The Devil Wears Prada" is an extremely predictable, formulaic, clichéd film. The biggest problem is that it looks no different from the other movies of that genre. Most women will like it, and ignore the flaws though.
"The Devil Wears Prada" is based on a best selling book written by Lauren Weisberger. Fresh from college, Andy, Andria for short, Sachs comes to New York in hopes of being a journalist. Instead, she accepts a job as a personal assistant to the demanding Miranda Priestly, editor in chief of the fashion magazine Runway. Will Andy survive in the fashion world or will she just end up quitting her job?
One of the very few bright spots of this film is the acting by Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci. Meryl Streep was amazing as the boss from Hell, Miranda Priestly. Stanley Tucci, as Nigel, is also the only one who actually had character in this film. Unfortunately, the rest of the cast does not do a convincing job. Anne Hathaway, though very attractive, was a lot more convincing in "The Princess Diaries" then in this movie.
In conclusion, if you are a heterosexual male, do not see "The Devil Wears Prada." It is extremely boring, clichéd, predictable, and at least fifteen minutes too long. This is a comedy movie, yet the comedic aspect is non-existent. If you want to watch a real spoof on the fashion industry, go rent "Zoolander." Watch "The Devil Wears Prada" at your own risk. You have been warned!
