The Devil Wears Prada Wickedly Funny

Meryl Streep is the almost likable fashion villain in the highly entertaining movie The Devil Wears Prada. She is the meticulously coiffed editor in chief of Runway Magazine with a huge collection of fur coats, designer bags and knowledge of anything and everything fashion related. She strikes fear in all her employees just by her mere presence, and has a reputation of torturing all her assistants. She finally meets someone, who is almost a match for her when a fashion challenged, Northwestgraduate, Andy (played wonderfully by Anne Hathaway) is hired as her new assistant. Andy, who aspires to be a hard hitting journalist, has absolutely no clue about the fashion industry and no desire to learn.I can really relate to Andys character because since I have had children, my fashion sense has really fallen by the wayside so i could really relate to her! The movie takes you on a funny but sad journey as Andy, in spite of herself, is swept up and slowlytransformed by the demanding world of Runway Magazine. Truthfully I found myself wondering if I should run out and buy a Chanel bag or something.I loved this movie and its slightly corny 'good prevails over fashions evil' ending. I highly recommend this movie!
