The Ending Ruined It

Rating: 6/10 (4 January 2007)

Being a Journalist student who's dream job is to work at Vogue, I was told that "The Devil Wears Prada" would be an appropriate film for me to watch. I rented it, since I never read the book, and loved it, until the end.
The performances here are great, especially Anne Hathaway as Andy and Emily Blunt as Emily. Meryl Streep was amazing and believable as the cold Editor in Chief Miranda Preistly, who would do anything to save her job. Stanley Tucci was adorable. The plot really interested me as well. And the clothes were absolutely fabulous. The ending just didn't seem believable to me at all. Naive Andy knew what she was getting into when she stepped foot into the building, and the fact she is even the least bit surprised at what she did to Emily after Miranda points it out is nuts. What got me even more is that she decided to leave. As numerous characters pointed out, hundreds of girls would kill for that job, and she was lucky enough to get it. The fact she would walk away from it peeved me off greatly, since this would be a job I would do anything for.
This was a great film, but, as stated before, the ending just wasn't believable to me.
