The "Prada Wearing" Devil Theory




The Devil Wears Prada is not the best put together, but with the actors holding their own, it is definitely an entertaining one.

Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway) is a young journalist in New York who applies for a job at a fashion magazine. Having no idea what she is getting into, she interviews with Miranda (Meryl Streep) who is the head of the company. Something catches her attention and Andy is hired. Over time Andy changes into another typical fashion freak and pardon my french but basically becomes Miranda's bitch doing everything she asks.



Although the storyline is not to exciting, the Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep make the movie a great one. Meryl's devilish attitude is portrayed perfectly and her character is created so perfectly no one could come close to recreating her performance of Miranda. Anne Hathaway also shows an excellent portrayal of her character Andy. She provides all the qualities of a young and ambitious journalist willing to do whatever it takes to get a job, even if it means serving coffee and changing your entire personality.

My movie rating: 2 1/2 stars out of 4
My acting rating: 4 stars out of 4
