Normally this sort of film wouldn't interest me, but I was fascinated by the cast (Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci ARE four of my favourite contemporary American actors) AND I liked the three previous films I've seen about the fashion industry ('Ready to Wear', 'Zoolander' and of course 'Death Wish 5: The Face of Death'). I was really pleased by the comedy caused by the bitchiness, pettiness and downright superficiality of everyone involved, which says SO much about contemporary civilization...and the climax and denouement, are both touching and so fitting. The strong writing and acting made this much better than it had any reason to be.

The cast elevate this film up a lot. Everything else to do with <em>'The Devil Wears Prada'</em> is all perfectly fine don't get me wrong, but I most certainly wouldn't have enjoyed it as much without the cast. Meryl Streep does an excellent job portraying Miranda, while Anne Hathaway matches her as Andrea. Emily Blunt (Emily) is also enjoyable, as is Stanley Tucci (Nigel). I never, personally, held too much interest in the plot, it does get a little bit repetitive in parts. With that said, thanks to Streep & Co., it's still a film that's definitely worth watching.

"The Devil Wears Prada" is a smart, stylish film that blends humor with a touch of drama, set against the backdrop of the high-pressure fashion industry. Meryl Streep is magnetic as the commanding Miranda Priestly, delivering a performance that's both intimidating and captivating, while Anne Hathaway shines as the relatable protagonist navigating the chaos of her new role. The movie’s greatest strength lies in its ability to make you reflect on the sacrifices we make in pursuit of success and whether they're truly worth it. The pacing is well-done, keeping you invested without dragging, and the supporting cast, especially Emily Blunt, adds layers of wit and charm. What stands out is the film's subtle commentary on personal growth, ambition, and staying true to what really matters, all wrapped in sharp dialogue and stunning visuals. It never feels preachy but leaves you thinking about how much of yourself you’re willing to compromise to fit into someone else's definition of success. While it doesn’t dive too deeply into its themes and follows some predictable beats, the movie more than makes up for it with its entertainment value and heartfelt moments. It's a fun, engaging watch with enough substance to leave a lasting impression. Perfect for when you want something light yet meaningful.
