So much average

Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

Boring

best movie i've ever seen.

This movie doesn't really have much in the way of comedy, but I found the story very entertaining. This is a well-made movie with fun characters. While its very clearly not for everyone based on its overall score, I would still recommend it.

I can't tell is this is just a super-light drama or a jokeless comedy. Either way, without the faux-prestige of Streep strutting around, I'm convinced this movie wouldn't even be a blip on the cultural radar. AND HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO HEAR CHARACTERS TRY TO CONVINCE US THAT ANNE HATHAWAY IS FAT?!?!

Andrea 'Andy' Sachs has recently graduated and hopes to become a serious journalist; when sent for an interview at 'Runway', a prestigious fashion magazine, she sees it as a possible gateway despite having no interest in fashion. Nobody there expects Miranda Priestly, the magazine's domineering editor in chief, to offer her a job but to everybody's amazement she is made her second personal assistant. She is completely out of her depth but gradually manages to impress. This with the help of Nigel, the art director, who provides her with the right clothes for the job and Christian Thompson, a writer, who helps her with an 'impossible' task. As Andy works all hours to impress Miranda her relationships with her boyfriend and friends suffer and ultimately she starts to become somebody she never thought she could be as she first takes a job that somebody else had been looking forward to all year then, while trying to be kind, accidentally costs somebody else the opportunity of a lifetime.I have to admit that on the face of it this isn't my type of film but sometimes it is good to watch something different and I certainly don't regret watching this. The story may be fairly conventional but it is fun to watch. There are one or two enjoyable twists but nothing too major. Anne Hathaway does a really fine job as Andy and Meryl Streep dominates every scene she is in just as her character Miranda dominates those around her. They are ably supported by Emily Blunt as Miranda's first assistant, Emily, Stanley Tucci as Nigel and Simon Baker as Christian. Overall I enjoyed this more than I expected despite not being interested in the world of fashion… I couldn't tell the difference between Prada and Primark but while watching I cared about the characters and enjoyed the story.

I didn't knew what this movie was about before watching it. I just knew Meryl Streep and Anne Hattaway were in here so I decided to watch it, expecting a fun movie but nothing more. Well, it's true that it's a fun movie, but it's not only this. It tells the story of Andrea (Anne Hattaway), a young girl who wants to be a journalist and she starts as an assistant to Miranda Prestley (Meryl Streep) in one of the most recognized fashion magazines, Runway. Anne Hattaway gives a great performance, with this feeling of innocence at the beginning, running from one place to another to get the tasks of Miranda done, but at the end she starts to understand what does it means to be in the world of the fashion and it's consequences. But the true star in here is Meryl Streep, who gives a devilish and glamorous performance, but also at parts with a human touch, but only her presence in the movie is worth the watch of it.Well not only Meryl Streep is what makes the movie worth the watch. Also, I was impressed on the costume designs. How many different dresses they wear through the movie! From Meryl to Anne Hattaway to Emily Blunt or even Stanley Tucci, they all have such a great variety of clothes that will make you keep staring at the movie. This and also the great soundtrack provided by Theodore Shapiro which transmits the feelings of rush and evilness of Miranda, and the innocence and sadness at parts of Andy.I recommend it to every one who wants to watch an entertaining movie with an awesome performance by Meryl Streep and who wants to discover the price you have to pay for being in the world of fashion and glamour.
