I finally watched The Devil Wears Prada because so many of my female friends have over the years said it's a classic and made a lot of money when it came out in 2006. Streep got a Oscar nom for the film and everything. I just don't get it. It's a legit bad movie. The main 4-5 characters are all a$$holes for almost the entire movie (which covers months) but the movie tries to make them sympathetic in the last 5 mins and it just doesn't work.

They even act like Anne Hathaway is butt ugly because she wears normal clothes at start of the movie and give her a makeover and everybody is like "OMG, YOU ARE PRETTY" and this is five years after Not Another Teen Movie nailed the last nail in that coffin.

Outside of a great title and good looking people in cool clothes this movie offers nothing.

my girl takes over the living room tv sometimes to watch things and this movie was one of them. thought it might be ok because Tucci was in it but it was pretty boring. Streep can play a demonic cac hellqueen like none other, though.

3/10... but flicks like this arent made for me so :yeshrug:

I watch stuff that's not made for me all the time with my wife but I can at least respect most of that stuff. I actively hate The Devil Wears Prada.

One of my favorite movies. Perfectly paced. Decent script. I find the rudeness and brazen disregard of the fashion snobs hilarious. Plus, it gave me some insight into aspects of the fashion industry that I never really considered. Especially that scene where Miranda goes in on Andy for scoffing about the belts.
