The Devil wears Prada

YEAR 2006

STARRING Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Adrian Grenier

 WRITER Aline Brosh McKenna (screenplay), Lauren Weisberger (novel)

OVERVIEW A naive young woman comes to New York and scores a job as the assistant to one of the city's biggest magazine editors, the ruthless and cynical Miranda Priestly.

OPINION  Glossy chick flick. Loosely based on career of Anna Wintour (Editor of Vogue). A slickly offered morsel. I have (female ) friends who class this as their favourite movie. I like it. I’ve seen it 4 times but personally, the romance in the movie, for me is like putting cream on the fruit salad. Kinda like  ‘Working Girls ‘ for girls who like dressing up for work. Maybe Streep and Blunt make this movie more than the sum of its parts ?

RATING YYY1/2
