The Devil Wears Prada

Rating: 6/10 (4 July 2006)

The Devil Wears Prada has been Hollywood-ized, so instead of sharp satire, we have musical montages with bad covers of 90's hits (Crazy by Seal is an example). However, the two female leads (Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep) are so good that they transcend the clichés, or at least make them less nauseating. The movie, like the book, has no substance or deep issues, it is just enjoyable trash. The book was plane reading, but this movie deserves a little bit better than plane watching. Maybe a rental or an HBO viewing. I must say it is refreshing to see a movie with two female leads that isn't a complete waste of time for anyone who has testicles or a sexist horror film.
2.5/4
