The Devil Wears Prada (Full Screen Edition)

This is one of my favorite films for life in the fast fashion lane. The people who populate this realm are unlike any others you will find. By the end of the film, you are as convinced as Andrea that the fashion world is the only real world in existence. She learns a lot, loses some things she shouldn't, but gains what she needs to step away and leave the cold marble runways for the models chiseled from that same unfeeling stone. A return to her roots leaves her wiser and better able now to cope with things she had no experience of before. The cast is superb and star-studded. You will have to watch this movie at least twice, and then about every few months after that. It is VERY entertaining.

This is one of my favorite movies ever. The fashion, the characters, the scenery...what's not to like? Streep steals the show as a powerhouse leader. WOW!

Love this movie! I was thinking about my sweet, creative mother who was apprenticed to become a clothing designer, and loved all the different styles of clothing in the movie. I’m happy I got to see this movie even after I had already seen the Devil Wears Prada 2!

I love it so much highly recommended

I watched it again, since I had not seen in in 20 years, in preparation for watching "The Devil Wears Prada 2" soon. It holds up well and is very amusing. The acting is fabulous! Well done! Enjoy!!

When I had cable and flipped channels this was one of those movies that I stopped on, every time. And loved every time! My favorite sequences are Meryl Streep's amazing monologues about fashion and business, anything with Stanley Tucci in it, and Andy Sachs' (Anne Hathaway) makeover. Ooh, and Emily Blunt, who blew up with this movie! I was so pleased to find it at an affordable price and will watch it again and again- aside from a few stutters, it's a great disc and worth having. That said, this movie is really showing its age. The book it's based on came out in 2003 and the movie in 2006- both pre-economic crisis. Even the book was a rough go for me, because I found the protagonist a hair irritating. And this is coming from someone who wanted, and still wants, to be a writer. Both book and movie get one crucial detail right: How very hard it is to convince parents and friends that while your pay sucks now, and you're not doing what you want to do at the moment, that paying your dues and getting known is a big part of building that career as a writer. But frankly I watched this and wasn't rooting for Andy Sachs at all. I was rooting for Miranda Priestly (rumored to be Vogue's Anna Wintour) to break her. Miranda is supposed to come across as acerbic, cruel, and awful (and is all of those things, but less so than in the novel), but really she's just a professional woman who, in order to maintain her status as a fashion-savvy industry powerhouse, needs to be surrounded by willing, capable people who are as engaged as she is. If Weisberger/Andy had just been willing to engage and show some effort, she might have been less frustrated and ultimately left on better terms. As it was, I started reading the book/watching the movie the first time ready to root for Andy, but in the end? Didn't. Another reason I find this movie/book frustrating is that because these days people take all kinds of ill-fitting jobs just to pay rent, and clearly Weisberger, and her character, did not want this job. And so they shouldn't have taken it. I, personally, would have been one of those millions of girls who would kill for the job of assistant to a major fashion editor. And every time Hathaway rolled her eyes or sighed or there was a speech about being true to one's self, I wanted to throw something breakable. If she'd wanted to be true to herself, she wouldn't have taken the damn job in the first place. The little scene they wrote for the movie of Miranda and Andy acknowledging each other in a city street was nice. I still can't believe that Miranda would recommend Andy for anything after Andy's behavior, but if she did in real life, Wintour is an even better person than Weisberger deserved her to be, if that makes sense. That said, I like this movie and I'm happy to have a copy. I will enjoy my favorite scenes, wish I had Emily Blunt's makeup artist (that turquoise eye shadow!) those Chanel boots and access to the schwag closet, and a mentor like Stanley Tucci, but in the end I'm left confused about who to root for. BTW: If you like Vogue and the references in the movie about the September issue mean something to you, then pick up a copy of RJ Cutler-directed "The September Issue"- the Sundance doc about Wintour's relationship with her art director as they put together the yearly fashion bible.

When this film came out and the buzz began about Streep's Oscar worthy performance, I didn't find the time to see it. Now that it's on DVD, I am eating it up like a Junior's Cheesecake (New Yorkers will know what I mean). Here is why I LOVE LOVE LOVE this film: I had a boss like Miranda Priestly once. The first day she placed her dirty lunch tray on my "out" box I knew the job was not going to be good on my psyche. In fact, much like Andy as the aspiring writer, I wrote my first college A+ essay on the trials of being someone's assistant thanks to the material my former boss gave me. In comparison, at least Andy's job had the perks of the fashion industry like shoes, clothes and accessories; mine just had the late nights and lowly paycheck. Nevertheless, back to my review. Streep is on point as the "Dragon Lady" Miranda, editor in chief of RUNWAY magazine (the equivalent of VOGUE). Her subtle glances of disapproval, slight snicker and tilt of the head, all speak volumes while hapless assistant, Andy, is trying her best to get the job done. Having no background in the fashion industry or its demands, she stumbles along trying to win over the respect or at least appreciation of her coworkers and superiors, all of whom seem to take pleasure in humiliating her in every area from her onion breath to the way she clops around in what looks like a pair of clumsy Payless loafers. The sheer materialism is no joke, this is really how it is in MANY corporate offices, not just in fashion, but also in the beauty industry, advertising and the list goes on. Give the wrong person a title and it will go to his or her head, making them behave as if somehow they are "above" the rest of us, they are irreplaceable, and maybe even immortal. The supporting characters are strong, especially Stanley Tucci as the senior designer who bascially takes Andy under his wing to transform her into a work of art, fashionably speaking. His wit and sarcasm are perfect, and again, I worked with people like him so I totally related to his character. The plot was predictable, and of course you get the sense that Andy will eventually disappoint her friends by choosing work over partying, but that in the end her conscience will take over and .... well, I don't want to be a spoiler here. Enjoy this for what it's worth, not for anything earth shattering or new, but for a sometimes comical, always sarcastic look at life in the world of high fashion. Plus, the on location filming in New York City is awesome, as is the soundtrack, chock full of hits from Madonna to U2 and Alanis Morissette.

The best movie can’t wait for the sequel

Contente de l'avoir acheté Film super

Meryl Streep was definitely robbed of an Oscar for this movie. Brilliant acting all around, great cast, awesome story and wholesome movie.

Io sono amante delle commedie americane; questo film è molto carino. lo consiglio

Alles kommt sauber und vollständig an. Der Film ist Grandios, kann es kaum erwarten den 2 Teil vom Film zu bestellen, wenn er als DVD erhältlich ist.

Used DVD but as good as new. Wanted to see original of 2006 before seeing the latest The Devil Wears Pravda 2016
