Such a big surprise at the beginnings

Rating: 6/10 (3 August 2009)

At first, the tittle seemed like the typical teen romantic comedy that showed, at the end, that inner beauty is the real one... However, there is much more in this movie.
The story of Andrea (Anne Hathaway), a young journalist who can only find a job as an assistant of Miranda Priestly (wonderful Merryl Streep), Runway Magazine's head gives an interesting sight at the fashion world, inspired in the true story of Lauren Weisberger and her experience with the legend Anna Wintour.
Executed with a nice directing, good performers and a very original script by most of the film, the movie ends up being just slightly different from the other romantic comedies, when at the beginning seemed to be much, much different. A shame that a movie with so much potential ends up in such a commercial-blockbuster way...
