The Devil Wears Prada - Take Two

From The Movie Snob

The Devil Wears Prada (B). We've already reviewed this one, so I'll be brief. Anne Hathaway (The Princess Diaries) plays Andy, a college graduate and aspiring journalist who has moved to NYC and who dreams of Making A Difference in the world. Yet, almost despite herself, she lands a job as the second assistant to the Miranda Priestly, the powerful and feared editor of a Vogue-like magazine. Meryl Streep (Death Becomes Her, A Prairie Home Companion) steals the show as the icy yet ferocious Priestly. The story arc is not exactly groundbreaking -- naive but talented newcomer in the big city makes good but risks losing her soul in the process -- but the doe-eyed Hathaway and the amazing Streep make the predictable material enjoyable. Worth a look.
