"Hire the smart fat girl..."

Rating: Null/10 (8 July 2006)

How many lines will the drag queens end up quoting from this movie?
"What you don't understand is: that sweater was chosen for you 6 years ago... by the people in this room."
"I'm glad *somebody* came to work this morning..."
"0 is the new 2." "I'm only a size 6." "6 is the new 14."
"Devil" may well be on its way to joining "Mommie Dearest" in the hearts of gay men everywhere. This coming Halloween is sure to be filled with many a "Miranda-wannabe". What gay man wouldn't want to be Miranda??? (Even Miranda herself alludes to that: "EVERYONE wants to be us....") Meryl's hair in this movie may be just too "practically-glam" to be worthy drag-queen material, but, honey, it's all about HER CLOTHES and brilliantly written/delivered SNIDE REMARKS.
It's all pulled off in a way that is not only hysterical but clever since the movie hits the proverbial PETA-target right between the eyes (Priestly is supposedly based on Anna Wintour - who - rumor has it - has barred all stars of the movie from ever appearing in her magazine henceforth).
Concerns about women's weight? This movie does not encourage that scenario by any means - rather - it shows the silli-/sadness of that syndrome, and the unhappiness behind it.
"Devil" is funny yet poignant comment on the world of not only fashion but female workspaces.
Don't "disappoint" Meryl...GO SEE THIS MOVIE!
