A Perfect Adaptation

Rating: Null/10 (13 August 2010)

An excellent cast ensemble. A funny, intelligent screenplay from fine source material. Great, restrained direction. Fancy clothes. An awesome soundtrack. Fish all that up, stick in a blender and what you get? The sophisticated, "The Devil Wears Prada".
Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci, and Emily Blunt headline the picture and all form together and come out with exceptional performances. A surprising uproar of an ensemble. Meryl Streep was nominated in Lead Actress at the Oscars, but this was clearly a mistake. This is Anne Hathaway's movie. She plays the part to a tee, she's beautiful, she makes you identify with Andy as she goes through this torture. Meryl Streep is fierce and cruel as the antagonist. If the studio would've pushed her in the supporting category, she'd have her overdue Oscar right here. Emily Blunt is here in her breakout role. She's the funniest out of the entire cast. Just laugh after laugh and she doesn't have to be obnoxious out it; what an awesome performance. Stanley Tucci adds yet another underrated performance to his resume.
The film uses it's source material here and creates something short of masterful. You can watch the picture over and over again because of it's fresh and hilarious story. The director does something genius here. He applies a very gentle touch; it fits. The costumes are dazzling, as well.
The Devil Wears Prada is one of the best comedies of the decade. It's flawless; 10
