Not a chick flick, but a great study of relationships!

Rating: 9/10 (30 June 2006)

I read so many comments calling "Devil Wears Prada" a 'chick flick' that I was prepared to see one. Not so. How could it be? The fashion industry is dominated by men. I also read, 'leave the guys home, etc' -- also not the best advice. My husband said he really enjoyed the movie because it portrayed how choices affect relationships.
I appreciated the story line and was not distracted by the fashions, gorgeous as they were. Despite the glitzy background, a valid lesson broke through -- a lesson that perhaps could benefit all of us.
Meryl Streep's performance was brilliant, as was Anne Hathaway's. Now, I must read the novel!
