Amazon.co.uk Reviews

This clever, funny big-screen adaptation of Lauren Weisberger's best-seller takes some of the snarky bite out of the chick lit book, but smoothes out the characters' boxy edges to make a more satisfying movie. There's no doubt The Devil Wears Prada belongs to Meryl Streep, who turns in an Oscar-worthy (seriously!) strut as the monster editor-in-chief of Runway, an elite fashion magazine full of size-0, impossibly well-dressed plebes. This makes new second-assistant Andrea (Anne Hathaway), who's smart but an unacceptable size 6, stick out like a sore thumb. Streep has a ball sending her new slave on any whimsical errand, whether it's finding the seventh (unpublished) Harry Potter book or knowing what type she means when she wants "skirts." Though Andrea thumbs her nose at the shallow world of fashion (she's only doing the job to open doors to a position at The New Yorker someday), she finds herself dually disgusted yet seduced by the perks of the fast life. The film sends a basic message: Make work your priority, and you'll be rich and powerful... and lonely. Any other actress would have turned Miranda into a scenery-chewing Cruella, but Streep's underplayed, brilliant comic timing make her a fascinating, unapologetic character. Adding frills to the movie's fun are Stanley Tucci as Streep's second-in-command, Emily Blunt (My Summer of Love) as the overworked first assistant, Simon Baker as a sexy writer, and breathtaking couture designs any reader of Vogue would salivate over. -- Ellen A. Kim


Synopsis

Adding an extra dimension to Lauren Weisberger's bestselling novel, THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA showcases Meryl Streep's knack for combining humour and sadness. While likely inspired by notorious VOGUE editor Anna Wintour, Streep's Miranda Priestly (head of Runway magazine) is entirely her own creation. Sporting silvery hair, a vast collection of fur coats, an encyclopedic knowledge of all things fashionable, and a killer smile, Miranda is full of wicked charm. With her mature beauty and commanding presence, Miranda is as fascinating to watch as she is intimidating to the constant rotation of assistants thrown her way.
When bookish Northwestern grad Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway) interviews to become Miranda's newest lackey, Miranda hires her not for her lacklustre wardrobe but for her intellect. Inside the pristine Runway offices, Andy suffers through a never-ending list of impossible tasks, and is the subject of constant harassment by Miranda's jealous first assistant (Emily Blunt). But to the dismay of her boyfriend (Adrian Grenier) and close friends, Andy slowly finds herself seduced by the glamorous world of fashion, and by Miranda herself. While Andy's transformation comes largely in the form of new designer clothing, the makeover is mental as well. What starts out as a firm belief in fashion's vapidity and in Miranda's heartlessness gradually fades into the suspicion that the boss-from-hell might just be hiding a soul. While the book demonised its title character, the film gives new depths to her wrath. As Andy trades her undergrad wardrobe for one packed with Prada and Chanel (with help from Stanley Tucci in a brilliant role), viewers are able to savour the work of costume designer Patricia Field. Together with director David Frankel (who also worked on SEX AND THE CITY), Field creates a world of fashion so wonderfully extreme it would be hard for anyone to resist.

5.0 out of 5 stars It just baffles me...., 3 Jul 2007
By S. Firth (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Why some people dont like this film!

Ok, it's very predictable, but it's fun and enjoyable. Dont go into this film expecting something serious. I mean, underneath it all it has a serious message, that work and career isn't everything, friends and family are much more important. But, the film is just fun. Miranda Priestly (Streep) is fantastic as the boss that everyone fears! The best bits for me are when she is on screen. She steals the film everytime. Andy Sachs (Hathaway) is ok, but i find Hathaway's voice quite irritating. But still, not a bad character. And Emily Blunt is also fabulous as Miranda's first assistant. Her bitchiness inspires me!

My favourite part of the film is when Miranda demands that Andy gets her twin daughters the new Harry Potter book, not just any book, but the un-published manuscript! How will Andy manage that! Anyway, i will leave it at that and just say hope you enjoy like i did!

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than I expected!, 14 Dec 2006
By Charles Wolf "Lupaster" (Italia) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This movie is a great adaptation of a novel by Lauren Weisberger, in my opinion much better than the book and that is truly rare.
Ok, the book was kinda.. crap. But the movie took what was good in it and gave it to Maryl Streep.

Without Meryl Streep, The Devil Wears Prada would get maybe 2 star rating, (probably 1..) but because of Ms. Streep giving such a great performance it is reason alone to see it.
I especially liked the way that, as Miranda, she never raised her voice above normal speaking level. Streep has said she based this mannerism on Clint Eastwood, who as Dirty Harry talks very quietly but still intimidates. (so, do you feel lucky? punk!)
This made Miranda much more interesting than the stereotypical, screaming gorgon she could have become. And she is so deliciously devilish that you want her in every scene, but we'll settle for a supporting actress nomination come February in a movie that would have essentially been Pricess Diaries 3 without her.

The film is just too long, however, primarily because the director feels obliged to explain everything -- every plot point is rendered obviously and painfully clear, and nothing left open for interpretation. That said, we're spared the "perfect ending" and left with a heroine who can truly stand on her own two feet, and in any shoes she might desire.

4.0 out of 5 stars I was a little cautious at first..., 16 Dec 2006
By Mr. J. McCabe "jackieboi" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After reading the book, I thought can I be bothered to go and pay to watch this? But I'm glad I did! Its the type of movie you can watch with anyone, the plots are simple the editing straight forward. It doesn't challenge you, and is probably suitable for most ages, and that rare gem where you find the film is actually better than the book...

What I liked most was the character of Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep), who plays the boss to end all bosses and was really encouraged by her on screen dipiction of, what I believe is based on Anna Wintour.

Would recommend it for large groups of friends or just a pizza kinda movie, its rare to find such a movie that you could just leave on in the background and still enjoy!
