Miranda Priestley, of "Runway" magazine tears up the landscape as a demanding fashion editor. She is a terror to everyone who is around her as is quickly depicted in the opening scenes of the movie. Her first assistant strives to please her and tries to emulate her, but one can sense that she is not quite as hard as she tries to put on. Into this mix comes a young woman who knows nothing of the fashion industry, has never read the magazine, and doesn't know who Miranda Priestley is. She only sees this as a stepping stone to another journalism position. Showing no fashion sense and immediately ... scorned by everyone, Miranda nonetheless hires her as the second assistant. When Miranda demands that she obtain the next unpublished Harry Potter manuscript, you can sense that she is trying to force her to quit, but it makes the young woman dig in to please her boss. With the help of one of the magazine's fashion editors, she gets a complete makeover and a new security. However, with her new appearance and the demands placed on her, she starts to lose her friends, family and her live-in boy friend. As she is whisked away to Paris with Miranda and faces all of the glamor that could be hers, including a flashy if not artificial freelance journalist, she is forced to make the decision of where she wants to be in her life.Read moreLess

With her crested gray mane, laser glare and perfectly modulated stealth missile sarcasm, Miranda Priestl...
While men in capes have been wrestling for audience attention, Meryl Streep has quietly established herself as queen of the summer, first with her delectable turn in A Prairie Home Companion and now with her breathtakingly underplayed performance in The Devil Wears Prada. Streep single-handedly elevates this sitcomy but tolerably entertaining adaptation of Lauren Weisberger's bestselling 2003 roman a clef about a personal assistant's year of chic hell under the thumb of the dragon lady of the fashion world. Gutsily being opened as counterprogramming to Superman Returns, Fox release will play very well to women of all ages and should show off nice B.O. legs throughout...
The Devil Wears Prada could be subtitled 'Or How I Learnt To Love Elite Consumerism And Realised My College Idealism Was Na??ve'.
Certainly, anyone buying a ticket expecting a satire on the fashion industry and its doyens will be disappointed. Don't think Tony Curtis and Burt Lancaster as a press agent and columnist, brothers in amorality, in 1957's Sweet Smell Of Success. Instead, think Michael J Fox's yomping up the corporate ladder in 1980s yuppie affirmation film The Secret Of My Success
