Movie #159 - The Devil Wears Prada

The Devil Wears Prada
2006 - Rated PG-13 - 1 hr 49 min
Director: David Frankel
Starring: Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci, Simon Baker, Adrian Grenier, Tracy Thoms

Yay, a chick flick!

I love this book. I love this movie.  The cast is fabulous, the clothes are amazing (and I'm not even into couture), and Meryl Streep deserved every inch of that Oscar.  The best part about this movie is how true it stays to the book.  The ending's a bit different, but I was happy to see some of my favorite bits make it in, like hunting down the unpublished Harry Potter book or picking up the dog from the groomer.  Emily Blunt is also a great page-to-screen success, capturing the character of Emily with every fiber of her being.  And yay for Gisele Bundchen, who apparently tried to have an acting career before popping out kids for Tom Brady.

Yes, it's a chicky movie.  It's a good one, though.  Who doesn't appreciate a good story about the struggle between good and evil, the little guy standing up to the goliath, the unsung hero standing up for herself? We can all relate to having a nightmare boss, and after watching this movie, I bet the one from your past doesn't hold a candle to Miranda Priestley.
