This movie is a sinfully funny, deliciously glossy take on the 2003 best seller by Lauren Weisberger, j
Just out of college, with aspirations to be a writer, Andreal ands an ill-defined job as assistant to the editor of RUNWAYmagazine--Miranda Priestly (rhymes with beastly). Soon Andrea is socaught up with Miranda's outrageous errands (pick up her dog, her car, her just-so lunch) and the world of fashion that she neglects her boyfriend and her needy roommate.
There's no doubt Andy learns much from watching Miranda at work, even with all the insults and fool's errands.
I think the script tries to paint Miranda into a corner, the lonely careerist who can't keep a husband or find personal happiness but Streep won't wallow in the cliches of victimhood.
Miranda is played by Meryl Streep, an actress who carries nuance in her every pore, and who endows even her lighthearted comic roles with a rich implication of inner life. I just loved her whispery diction as perfect as her posture.
A must watch guys
