The Devil Wears Prada

Lauren Weisberger's bestseller comes to life on the silver screen. 

"The Devil Wears Prada," based on the Lauren Weisberger best-selling novel of the same title, is a clever comedy starring Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep. Meryl Streep's character, the devil-like Editor-in-Chief of Runway, an elite fashion magazine, hires new assistant Andrea (Hathaway), who is intelligent but is not a size 0 and lacks style. Streep's character has a blast sending Andy on all sorts of errands, from grabbing a latte, to trying to find the 7th Harry Potter book, which wasn't even out yet! 

Streep does an Oscar-worthy performance as this Cruella-type character. This movie highlights her talent as an actress. Other big names in the movie are Stanley Tucci as Streep's second-in-command as well as Emily Blunt as the overworked and underpaid first assistant, Simon Baker as a sexy writer and lastly Adrian Grenier as Andy's chef-in-training boyfriend. All of the characters bring a laugh-out-loud touch to this film. 

"The Devil Wears Prada" is a movie that is so good, you can watch it over and over again and still laugh the same way you did the first time. It features wonderful actors as well as wonderful direction. 

"The Devil Wears Prada" is available on DVD.
