The Devil Wears Prada (Widescreen Edition)

Meryl Streep and Emily Blount and Stanley Tucci SHEER BRILLIANCE. Even ANNE HATHAWAY was great, I suppose trying to keep up with the others kept her in line and on her toes. A MUST HAVE FILM! 💜💜💜💜💜

My mother and I LOVE this movie, Meryl Streep was fantastic in it. Great for all ages, not inappropriate or anything like that, just a cute movie overall

Everynow and the I need to get my DWP fix . Or whenever I need fashion inspiration I look to Andy and Emily. Maybe they should make a Part Two with Emily as the new Miranda!

Rewatching this many years later makes me appreciate Meryl Streep as a boss now. I don’t thing she’s as unreasonable as everyone makes her out to be. Definitely worth the watch.

There are only three things wrong with the title of this review for the film "The Devil Wears Prada." First, Anne Hathaway is an actress who plays the character of Andy Sachs, but I keep thinking of her as Anne Hathaway as in "Now that Anne Hathaway has done sex scenes to get away from the whole Disney-Princess bit she is heading back in that direction in this film" instead of as her character. Second, it was grade Flavor-Aid and not Kool-Aid that was mixed with cyanide and Valium at the order of Jim Jones in Jonestown (and no one who drank it survived) but since the phrase "drink the Kool-aid" has become part of the vernacular once again historical facts have to take a back seat. Third, haute couture is used loosely to refer to all high-fashion custom-fitted clothing, but in France is now a protected name that can only be used by French fashion firms that meet well-defined standards. This time I will embrace the vernacular and my contradictory position on such things.I used this flawed title for my review because for me it defines the pivotal moment in "The Devil Wears Prada" that establishes both the film's major strength and its ultimate flaw. Andy Sachs wants to be a journalist but ends up as the second assistant for Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep), editor in chief of "Runway" magazine (think of something beyond "Vogue") because maybe a smart "fat" girl can work where so many skinny well-dressed girls have not. Andy is fresh from the Midwest and has a level head on her shoulder, so she knows, as do we the audience, that Miranda and everybody else at "Runway" are pretentious, elitist snobs. Nigel (Stanley Tucci) is nice, but everybody else follows the lead of Emily (Emily Blunt) and treats Andy as somebody from another planet where nobody dresses well because they buy off the rack. Taking notes during a meeting that has descended to the question of which belt would be the proper accessory, Andy snickers. Miranda casts a withering stare at Andy and then proceeds to explain why the sweater Andy is wearing is a direct result of a similar decision made by the people in that room a few years earlier.That is the point where Andy does the Kool-aid drinking, and it was the point at which this film version of the novel by Lauren Weisberger starts to get away from being totally predictable. When screenwriter Aline Brosh McKennna ("Laws of Attraction") and director Peter Howitt ("Sliding Doors") take the fashion business more seriously, which is to say when Andy starts to take it more seriously, "The Devil Wears Prada" gains considerably more weight. Everytime we get back to Andy's boy friend Nate (Adrian Grenier), best friend Lily (Tracie Thoms), and fourth wheel Doug (Rich Sommer), things are a lot less interesting than when she is at the office. Her job is clearly demanding and her friends take issue with the fact that it might possibly be considered rewarding. However, I was interested in the idea that Andy would find her niche rather than lose her soul working for Miranda. Unfortunately, in the end we get back to the predictable path the film laid out in the beginning and the mantra that no job is more important than family and/or friends. The problem is I do not accept that premise, thinking of plenty of jobs (e.g., teaching) that require you to put the job first (I think of Leo McCary in Season 1 of "The West Wing" telling his wife that the job he is doing is more important than his family at that point of time; Leo's wife left him, but I have always believed he was right).The net result is that despite another great performance from Streep, Tucci having some fun, and what should be a breakout role for Blunt, "The Devil Wears Prada" ends up being nothing more than what it promised to be from the beginning. I might have liked this 2006 film more without my favorite scene, because at that point I was thinking the film was more ambitious than it turned out to be. I know that the film is probably just being faithful to how the novel ends, but I definitely liked the movie I thought they were making more than the one they were actually making. At the very least I would have liked to see them walk the tightrope a bit longer, so that the idea Miranda's world was worth living in could be maintained in the last half of the film. But the whole "Hell on Heels" bit proves too seductive and if Streep sets up another Oscar nomination by refusing to let her character descend into caricature, the same cannot be said by Hathaway's Andy and this anti-princess cautionary tale.

Some products were duds but the majority of the purchases (about 90%) were of very good quality and some of the best bargains found

One of my favorites

I can literally watch this over and over

バットマンのジャックニコルソンと言い、プラダのメリルストリープといい振り幅の広い演技は素晴らしいの一言‼️

Film Molto Bello.Lo Consiglio.

Un Classico... da vedere assolutamente per chi non l'ha visto e da comprare per chi colleziona film. Non può mancare nella vostra collezione

Having watched this film for the first time whilst recovering from a back problem I simply had to order to add to my dvd collection. I was never a huge fan of Anne Hathaway until I saw her in this film - she is simply superb. Alongside the wonderful Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt she plays a great part. I loved watching the transformation from dowdy, not really bothered about fashion girl to trendy Miss. A great story-line, amusing yet touching - would highly recommend. Be warned, if you're watching this and wearing anything less than designer you'll want to go and change!!

I recently got this from Amazon, and finally got around to watching it at the weekend. I didn't really think i'd like this movie at all. It was been £3 for a while now at Amazon, and it wasn't untill i seen a trailer about it on one of my dvds that i decided to get it.It's about Anne Hathaway, who i admit, i know nothing about!. She goes for a job at a fashion magazine, and the ruler of the roost is Meryl streep ( 101 dalmations fame)Everyone says she isnt right for the job, even she doesnt think she is. She does t ry, but Meryl streep makes her life a misery by ordering coffee, and slapping her coat on the desk. She gets treated like a slave.I'm not into girly girly stuff, and i don't think you need to be to enjoy this film.Anne hathaway has a boyfriend character, and he is very cute. I think he is on some usa tv series now anyway.It's a good movie, and i'd recommend it, and it's only £3, so may as well give it a try :)
