Product Description
-------------------
Based on the hilarious best-selling novel, this sinfully
funny movie starring Academy Award(r) winner Meryl Streep* and
Anne Hathaway is "sensationally entertaining in every way"
(maxim). As assistant to impossibly demanding New York fashion
magazine editor Miranda Priestly (Streep), young Andy Sachs
(Hathaway) has landed a job that "a million girls would die for."
Unfortunately, her heaven-sent appointment as Miranda's personal
whipping girl just might be the death of her!

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 O�-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errand, whether it's finding the seventh (unpublished) Harry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
