Based on the Lauren Weisberger’s novel of the
same name, The Devil Wears Prada is the story of Andy, a college graduate who goes
against her nature in accepting a job as the junior personal assistant to
Miranda Priestly, editor-in-chief of Runway magazine, in the hope of later
finding a job as a reporter or writer.
The subject matter could have given us a
stupid piece of fluff of a movie, but the end result is a charming film, thanks
largely to the acting performances. Meryl Streep is particularly great as Miranda
Priestly, an overbearing monster of a boss. Streep manages to make a character
we could easily detest somewhat sympathetic. That last look she gives on screen
at the end encapsulates all the layers within the character she portrays.
Overall, while this was not my typical genre,
I really like this movie.
