Overrated as HELL
Nov 03, 2007
Aluísio Parondi - imdb.com
I saw TDWP on the week it came out, and although I wasn't surprised that it became such a big box-office hit, the glowing reviews it got are beyond my comprehension. Granted, 2006 wasn't the strongest year for movies, but we... Full review
Meryl Streep, A Character Actress As Star
Jul 13, 2007

Unmissable for Meryl Streep fans. She plays second fiddle to Anne Hathaway here - screen time wise, otherwise she's the whole bloody orchestra. She's the one reason to see the film and that in itself is one hell of a reason.... Full review

In New York, the simple and naive just-graduated in journalism Andrea Sachs (Anne Hathaway) is hired to work as the second assistant of the powerful and sophisticated Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep), the ruthless and merciless executive of the Runway fashion magazine.... Full review
Cast almost salvages predictable script.

The Devil Wears Prada struck me much like the industry that provides its backdrop – pure surface, well promoted and unabashedly convinced of its own importance. If this was in fact the point of the piece, it is an absolute success.... Full review
Even though she portrayed variations of the same demonic character in 1989's "She-Devil" and 1992's "Death Becomes Her", Meryl Streep truly nails it in this smart, creative 2006 comedy by underplaying the role and saving her verbal talons for pivotal moments.... Full review

I'm not a girl, so I knew next to nothing about Anne Hathaway, I went to see Meryl Streep and oh boy, did I see her. An inedited Meryl Streep, far, far away from anything she has ever done and that... Full review
A great adaptation of an alright book.

For the past month or so, I have been eagerly awaiting this movie. I love Meryl Streep, I like Anne Hathaway, I though the world of magazine publishing could make a great setting for a movie, and I thought the premise... Full review
more devil, less Prada

santanose - imdb.com
Without Meryl Streep, The Devil Wears Prada would get maybe a 5 rating, but because of Ms. Streep giving a performance that will undoubtedly get her a 14th Oscar nomination it is reason alone to see it. Is it even possible... Full review
Better for Teens than Adults, the Devil Still Pleases
Jun 21, 2006
FromNYCtoSF - imdb.com
With dialog that absolutely crackles, "The Devil Wears Prada" is bound to please most audiences but will primarily appeal to the MTV generation, I suspect. When all is said and done, it's your typical fish-out-of-water, bright-lights-big-city fable, just dressed up all... Full review
Better than Expected

I got a chance to see a sneak preview, and it was better than expected. First, I have to say that I've never read the book. My friend who saw it with me read it, and she said that the movie... Full review

The Devil Wears Prada is terrific entertainment Stanley Tucci is well on his way to becoming a male version of Meryl Streep--an actor smart enough to play every role with an equal amount of heart and skepticism. ... Full Review

Newsday
Consider "The Devil Wears Prada" an attractive makeover of the original. Hathaway knows how to get an audience on her side--she's likable and funny. Tucci times every predictable gay-confidant jape so unerringly ... Full Review

Combustible Celluloid
Meryl Streep is superb as the relentless editor of Runway magazine, chromed and with an icy, hard gaze. She correctly underplays the character, knowing that quiet can be just as effective as bombast. ... Full Review

And, oh yes, the movie's not bad either. The Devil Wears Prada" is an entertaining boss from hell flick that manages to skewer the fashion industry with something like affection. It's a great visual joke. ... Full Review
