Review: The Devil Wears Prada
The story revolves around the life of Andrea Sachs portrayed by the beautiful Anne Hathaway, a small-town girl fresh out of college, landing the job referred to as "a million girls would die for."
She’s hired as a 2nd assistant to Miranda Priestly, portrayed perfectly by Meryl Streep, the well-known editor of Runway magazine.
As an assistant, Anne/Andrea is made to do impossible tasks such as providing the last unpublished Harry Potter book, Starbucks coffee, even plane tickets on a very stormy day.
She puts up with all this just to prove that she can and one day she’ll benefit from it.. she slowly reaps her prize however at the expense of her personal life…showing that the job that “a million girls would die” really is killing her. She therefore decides if all such success is worth it…
The movie’s very entertaining if I may say.
Although it reminds me of a cross between a recent film I watched, Click! (success over family plot) and Anne Hathaway’s original Princess Diaries (ugly duckling to beautiful swan), the film was great. The actors/actresses played their characters well especially Meryl Streep. I like the part at the end where she smiles amid all what has happened showing her “goodness”… but I won’t give any more details.. go ahead and watch it.. you’ll be entertained
