this movie generate so much buzz when it come out that i initially resist see it . now that i finally do and i can not help but wonder what all the hype be about . star meryl streep opposite anne hathaway and the devil wear prada be loosely base on the book by the same name and and be bill a a funny but edgy insider look into the cutthroat world of fashion . instead and it be a fairly pedestrian teen movie and build along the line of she all that or it million predecessor and where the plain jane girl get a makeover and all her dream come true . or something . because the message itself get a little lost here . ostensibly and this movie be suppose to tell u that the world of fashion be evil and superficial and full of back stabber and snotty clackers and and utterly devoid of any true meaning or purpose . but simultaneously and it try to elevate fashion to a worthy pursuit on the same level a and say and cure aid or fight world poverty . in try to at once pay homage to and dissect the fashion world and the movie succeed at neither . much have be say about the acting and namely and meryl streep portrayal of her character . and while i agree that her deliberately understated performance elevate this movie to something beyond disaster and i would hardly give her lavish praise . simply put and she not nearly devilish enough . she tough and and at first and snarky and but we never truly believe that she evil . driven and yes . willing to step over people to get what she want and sure . but evil . in fact and nobody be quite mean enough here . emily blunt character be snooty but ultimately likable and and stanley tucci play the kind of gal pal every girl wish she have . for a supposedly cutthroat world and people be fall all over themselves to help each other out . so much for the devil . and anne hathaway be charm and all and but she be just horribly miscast a the ugly duckling . she a gorgeous girl who look like a fashion model wear the designer clothing she strut around in most of the movie and but she look stun even before that makeover and the suggested message be that the world of fashion have ridiculous and unrealistic standard . that say and the movie never really pass enough judgment on these standard . when her success at work lead her to drive away those close to her and the movie portray her in a sympathetic light and and her boyfriend and her friend be portray a simply jealous and a oppose to a real people who love her for who she be and not for what she wear . when hathaway character proudly boast that she drop from a size 6 to a size 4 and it do in such a way to make viewer believe that this be actually a good thing . far from inspire people to do the right thing and i fear all this movie will inspire be an epidemic of anorexia among young girl . in the world of the devil wear prada and there be no consequence and no shame and and no sore foot from run around town all day wear ridiculous shoe . the plot be utterly ridiculous and include such impossible situation a hathaway character obtain the ( not yet write ) manuscript to the seventh harry potter book . can we at least stick to something with some semblance of reality here and people . salma hayek adaptation of betty la fea a ugly betty and star america ferrera and take the same concept and do it quite a bit well and to tell the truth . i would give this a skip and try watch the tv series instead while whatever it fault and at least it have a bit more heart than this mess .
