Wide-eyed, smiling, and smart Andy Sachs has had the good fortune to grab a job that “millions of girls would die for”: the personal assistant of the editor of America’s most celebrated fashion magazine. But her heaven-sent dream job may end up being the death of her as her boss, the notorious Miranda Priestly, is one that expects her staff to be at her beck and call 25 hours a day, performing impossible tasks, forsaking their lives, and maybe even selling their souls.
Based on the novel by Lauren Weisberger, this movie is an absolute classic that’s bursting with laughs, warmth, fabulous displays of determination, and just a dash of drama. I have to admit that it is one that can get neglected in my personal collection; I often forget that I even own it, but then watching it again this morning, I just felt so lightened and fresh and bubbly. It’s a film that really rubs off on you and is wonderfully funny, warm, vibrant, and fresh. I LOVE IT COMPLETELY!

This movie is based on a best-selling novel, so we already know that the story is going to be one that can be enjoyed. What makes the movie so fresh and fabulous is the fantastic cast and the performances that they all gave.
The delightful Anne Hathaway stars as Andy. I have always believed that Anne is one of the most beautiful women working on the screen and, in this film it is just proven. She delivers a fabulous performance that is frustrated, trying, opinionated, and very genuine. It’s wonderful too, to see the physical transformation that she goes though (a very glamorous one to be sure), and then suffer the painful realisation that this lifestyle that everyone lusts after is actually the most evil and wicked thing that can ever be coveted. I just love Anne Hathaway and she was absolutely lovely in this movie.
Then on the opposite end of the table we have Meryl Streep who stars as Miranda Priestly. A woman so glamorous and so intimidating and vicious, she was absolutely mesmerising to watch. Meryl is a diva, a real Dame of the screen and it felt was though this part was written especially for her! She gave a performance that was glamorous, passively ferocious, subtle, elegant, and just downright magnificent! Equally as glamorous and psycho as Glenn Close’s Cruella De Vil, just nowhere near as loud, Meryl was stunning!
Starring Emily Blunt, Simon Baker, Adrian Grenier, Tracie Thoms, Rich Sommer, and Stanley Tucci, The Devil Wears Prada is a beautiful film that’s filled with fashion, glamour, drama, diets, romance, Paris, dreams, determination, and comedy. It’s a wonderfully uplifting movie that can just put you in a good mood and keep you on a high note. I absolutely love it!
