What does she want you to do? Call the national guard and lift her out of there?

Rating: 7/10 (26 October 2012)

***SPOILERS*** It's a painful and brain twisting job but someone's got to do it with just journalism graduate from Northern University Andy Sacks, Anne Hathaway, somehow with absolutely no experience at all got stuck with. That in Anna working for the ice cold as the North Pole in the dead of winter and overly demanding battle ax of an editor of the top fashion magazine "Runway" the not so priestly Miranda Priestly, Meryl Streep.
Right away things don't look so good for the poor and inexperienced Anne who just doesn't fit into the operation or the clothes, she's a hefty and non twiggy like size 6, and tote and designer hand bags that Marinda peddles in her magazine. Items that run for as high $1,500.00 for a woman's scarf!
Still with a little help from the magazine's head of clothing design Nigel, Stanley Tucci, Anne does make a name for herself at "Runway Magazine" in outlasting most of her fellow employees who's life or on job expectancy is about as long as a Mayfly in May. For some strange reason the hard bitten and take no prisoners, for having people working for her magazine longer then a week, Marinda took a shine towards Anne and keeps her on her staff. That despite all the messing up she did for her on and off the job. With her star rising in the world of fashion Anne's social life go straight down the tubes.
Anne's live in boyfriend Sushi Chef Nate, Adrian Grenier, is turned off in the high flying lifestyle that his girlfriend has gotten herself into never having any time,in being on call to Mirinda 24 hours a day, with him or the wonderful dishes he cooks up for her. She's got to watch her weight and is on a strict sunflower seed and spring water diet. It becomes almost impossible for Anne to keep up with her boss Miranda's unreasonable demands that she's well on the way of suffering a nervous breakdown in trying to keep up with them!
***SPOILERS*** The final shoe to drop in Anne's glamorous but torturous job at "Runway" is when she's promoted to go to Paris for a fashion show that Miranda is throwing at the expense of her good friend and fellow employee at the magazine Emily, Emily Blunt. Knowing just how much Emily wanted that assignment Anne tries her best to persuade Mirdana to give it to Emily instead of herself. With Miranda steadfast in her decision and not giving an inch Anne finally realizes that the job of being her top aid isn't worth it. Something that Anne always seemed to know yet kept hidden from herself.
P.S The film showed just how plastic and artificial the lives of the high and mighty in the fashion world really are. Miranda despite all her power and influence couldn't keep her marriage together with the one person,her long suffering husband, whom she showed some genuine feelings for in the movie. Yet he dropped her like a sack of spoiled potatoes when she just got too much, in her constant nagging and complaining about the way he dresses, for him to take. The ice cold and unfeeling front that Miranda put up was just that a front. Which prevented her from showing any kinds of human feelings or emotions which in the end worked against her.
