"A million girls would kill for that job".

Rating: 7/10 (6 March 2011)

This is not the kind of movie I would pick out if I were watching it alone, but I'll concede a title every now and then so my wife can relate to something other than a Western or an action film. I'm going to have to assume that Prada refers to some fashion designer or line of clothing, since there was no explanation given, and I'm not going to look it up. I expected something predictable here once Meryl Streep was introduced as the Dragon Lady, and Anne Hathaway as the aspiring writer, but predictability would also have required Miss Andy to explode just once to gain Miranda Priestley's respect, and I kept waiting and waiting for it. Since it never happened, there was nothing else at all to make this movie stand out from virtually any other comedy/romance date flick that's come down the pike. Consequently, Hathaway's performance was far from exceptional, even as Streep continues to stretch her range as an actress who can virtually do it all. With only so-so performances by the remainder of the cast, the most recommendable thing about this movie is it's title, and that only gets you up to the opening credits.
