What does it tell us ?

What does the devil wears Prada tells us ?
That a brilliant girl with education must first be slave to abusing boss and be humiliated and lose weight before she can actually use her writing skills and be herself ??? Usually, this type of movie is about improvement and growing.
Andy's experience at Runway doesn't get her anywhere. She doesn't write, almost loses boyfriend and learns nothing but fitting in the hysteric fashion mold. Had she been a Bridget Jones, it might have been funny. But the girl is already tall, thin and perfect from take one, and when she becomes a size 4 you don't notice any difference.
To sum it up, Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci are wonderful - and that's about it.
