(UN)fabulous! Ironically "Devil" has no style of sense of fashion, Streep turns in an Oscar worthy role

Rating: 5/10 (2 July 2006)

**1/2 Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci, Tracie Thoms, Rich Sommer A bit trashed and wishy washy adaptation of the novel "Devil" where a pretty woman (Hathaway) comes to the big city to become an assistant for a bitchy editor Miranda (Streep, an excellent Oscar nomination performance). While learning the tricks of the trade by gaining a sense of style and fashion (that the film lacks) she starts to become trusted and worthy. "Devil wears Prada" is enjoyable is small doses and gives off a few chuckles but the end is over all predictable. And Streep gives a great performance as her role of the bitter hearted/work crazy editor that soon forms a well worked out bond. Worthy of a rental and no more than that
