Preview Review: The Devil Wears Prada

Reviewed by Danny Munoz

If you ever felt like decapitating your boss, peeing over the dead corpse, and then burning the remains so no one will ever know, then this movie is for you! This movie adaptation from the novel with the same title was written by Lauren Weisberger, (wouldn't want to be her boss... or would I?) Though Lauren did write the novel, Anne Brosh McKenna wrote the screenplay that gave this movie life.

Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, and Stanley Tucci round up the cast that made this movie actually enjoyable. So for you readers who have not seen the movie, Anne Hathaway plays Andrea (Andy) Sachs, who gets a job at RUNWAY magazine, the top magazine in fashion, as Miranda Priestly's assistant, played by Meryl Streep, which is a job that a thousand girls would die to have. Though, many see Andy as an unlikely candidate for the job, Miranda ignores her own better judgment and hires, "the fat girl." Andy takes the job because working a year under Miranda Priestly will line you a job at any written media that you will ever want to work for.

Though the job that would seem to be a stepping stone for your future, isn't all that's cracked out to be, what should one do? Well no sense in crying, if you can't beat them, then join them. So Andy tries her best to impress her boss, but forgets about her boyfriend and friends, the people that really matter to her. So Andy must juggle her future career with her morals and relationships with friends.

Though this movie might sound dramatic, it is pretty amusing. Meryl Streep plays a convincing bitch who is feared by everyone who works under her. Stanely Tucci character, Nigel, is a sort of a Fairy Godmother in the sense he transforms Andy from the fat girl into a fashionable hottie. Will Andy forget who she is and become a stuck up bitch like her boss? I'd recommend this movie for people to watch so they can find out the outcome. Enjoy it and laugh as loud as you want, because no sense if hiding that fact that you ARE going to like it.
