Love this movie more then my Valentino pumps

Rating: 9/10 (17 February 2010)

Chanel. Dolce and Gabbana. Galliano. Valentino. All high end designers in the fashion world. The stuff most girls dream of. The movie The Devil Wears Prada features fashion like this and so much more, along with a lesson to be learned. Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway) is a journalist who comes to New York City to get her big break. Although she has absolutely no style, Andy some how lands a job at the biggest fashion magazine in the city, Runway, where she works as Miranda Priestly's (Meryl Streep) assistant. Over time Andy starts to get the hang of the whole fashion thing along with her demanding job, but she begins to lose herself in the world of Runway. Her long time friends and boyfriend don't know who she is anymore and they feel they have lost her to the monster of the Runway, Miranda Priestly. Andy's self loyalty is tested when she goes to Paris with the Runway team, where she truly has to decide who she wants to be and what world she wants to live in.
This is a movie I believe every girl should watch. High fashion, with a lesson included, teaching the viewers not to lose yourself in something that isn't you. Some of the highlights of the movie included the major make over of the unstylish Andy Sachs. Nigel, her friend at work and fashion guardian angel, brings her into a huge closet type room filled with clothes of all colors, fashions, and designers, and turns her into a new person that fits into Runway. Another fun part of The Devil Wears Prada is when Miranda is giving Andy the most absurd tasks to do. From running to pick up her dog, to getting scarfs, to finding the unpublished copy of the next Harry Potter book for her daughters, Miranda has Andy running all over the city, always on call, tending to her every need. The one part of the movie I found to drag was most of the Paris trip. Although some of the scenes were necessary to make the movie fit together, the politics of the behind the scenes people did not interest me. The boring dinner parties and conferences put me to sleep. The Devil Wears Prada is a movie that I would recommend to anyone who loves fashion or just a fun story. This movie has the glitz and glam of the runway combined with a message everyone should know. So go out and rent it because I guarantee you will love it! (even more then you Valentino pumps)
