Movie much worse than I expected

Rating: 1/10 (9 July 2006)

It is a rare day when I walk out of a movie theater really angry. But it happened today. Why? Because I just saw Devil Wears Prada. Did I know the movie would be about a boss from hell? You bet! I just didn't know how nasty and unappreciative this boss would be. Expectations were not met because they were ridiculously impossible! And we don't just feel sympathy for the naive newcomer who has an insane amount of loyalty to her uncaring and undeserving boss. We also feel for everyone else working for the company. Hey! You get crapped on and guess what you do  you crap on everyone you work with.
Unfortunately, Devil Wears Prada is not just another boss from hell movie. It highlights the values of the fashion industry  values which are incredibly superficial and damaging. If you are a woman and you happen to be lucky enough to wear a size 6 dress, you simply aren't lucky enough. If you aren't size 4 or below, you are fat and need to lose weight. Come on people!
Yes, I am angry. I am angry with myself for seeing this piece of trash movie. I just couldn't overcome my curiosity regarding how Meryl Streep  one of my all time favorite actresses  would play the role. I am happy to report she did a splendid job.
