The Devil Wears Prada

Rating: 5/10 (27 June 2007)

I had heard quite about this film saying it is one of the lead actresses best roles, I guess I can agree, this is quite a good comedy drama. Basically simple, naive and just-graduated Andrea 'Andy' Sachs (The Princess Diaries' Anne Hathaway) gets a job as the second assistant, along with Emily (BAFTA and Golden Globe nominated Emily Blunt), to powerful, sophisticated, ruthless and merciless executive of the Runway fashion magazine, Miranda Priestly (Golden Globe winning, and Oscar and BAFTA nominated Meryl Streep). As she spends more time there trying to best she can for her cruel boss, Andy is finding herself being rushed and multi-tasked, and none of it is getting her noticed by Miranda, till Nigel (Stanley Tucci) gives her a new look, and Emily teaches her how to be around her. These changes to her attitude and behaviour do cause problems with her personal life as well, with boyfriend Nate (Adrian Grenier). In the end, at the peak of her notice and contribution to the company, she learns that she has to make her own choices in life, so she quits, and gets a new job, with the help of Miranda. Also starring Simon Baker as Christian Thompson, Tracie Thoms as Lily, Rich Sommer as Doug and Daniel Sunjata as James Holt. It was nominated the Oscar and BAFTA for Best Costume Design, it was nominated the BAFTAs for Best Make Up & Hair and Best Adapted Screenplay, and it was nominated the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy. Meryl Streep was number 58 on The 100 Greatest Movie Stars, and she was number 26 on The World's Greatest Actor. Worth watching!
