Andrea "Andy" Sachs (Anne Hathaway) is a bright young woman from the Midwest who has just graduated from college and wants to work as a magazine writer. Andy has applied for a job at "Runway," America's most prestigious fashion journal; though Andy has little to no interest in the garment trade, they are one of the only magazines in New York with a job opening -- second assistant to editor Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep). As Andy quickly learns, Miranda is a diva with plenty of power within the magazine business and she isn't afraid to use it, and though Andy lands the job (primarily by being in the right place at the right time), she soon learns that working for Miranda could test the patience of a saint thanks to her endless demands and refusal to acknowledge the end of a work day. Andy struggles to hold on to the job and her sanity, knowing that a recommendation from Miranda can open nearly any door at any magazine, but can she handle the pressure without losing her mind along the way? The Devil Wears Prada also stars Stanley Tucci, Emily Blunt, and Adrian Grenier. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader
An agreeably shallow comedy.
-
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
Anne Hathaway is Patricia Field's latest fashion victim in this limp semi-satire.
-
, Time Out
The whole thing is humbug, a giant ad for the industry it affects to critique.
-
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
The Devil Wears Prada is two films in one: a caustic, energetic satire of the fashion world and a cautionary melodrama.
-
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer
The biggest problem with the movie, however, is that it tries to make a big deal out of a subject that has been beaten to death in the tabloids and the media.
