Critics Consensus

A rare film that surpasses the quality of its source novel, this Devil is a witty expose of New York's fashion scene, with Meryl Streep in top form and Anne Hathaway more than holding her own.

Deborah Ross

The Spectator

It's Meryl's movie, everyone says, and in a way it is. She gives a furiously funny performance as a furiously nasty bit of work... But, as I said earlier, scenes without her suffer horribly.

An agreeably shallow comedy.

Lessons of Darkness

Makes one pine for any comparable '50s working-girl comedy (or, for that matter, 1988's Working Girl).

Rated: C

When you think of the final years of Fox before the Disney acquisition, The Devil Wears Prada is one of the standout films--they don't make them like they used to.

Rated: 5/5

If looks can truly kill, Meryl Streep's Miranda may very well be the fashion industry's most notorious serial killer.

This one goes out to anyone suffering the whims of a tyrannical employer. For you, this will be so much more than a fun, fashion-conscious comedy. It will be therapy.

Rated: 3.5/5

What The Devil Wears Prada has to offer is quite unusual for the era of romantic comedies in which it premiered, but rejecting the tired cliché romance and embracing the idea of fashion and the formula of sharp comedy not only seems fantastic, it is. Streep and Hathaway, united, deliver one of the most acclaimed rivalry duos in cinema history, shaking up the entire industry with bold dialogue and memorable characters. The phenomenon is here, and it certainly wears Prada.

For a movie about fashion it's pretty horrendous to look at. Otherwise... fine, I guess. Nothing is really good here - shallow story, bland directing - it's just enough to keep it all together... Except for Stanley Tucci of course. He's fantastic

I am here reviewing this movie because I want to see the sequel. It is an amusing story but with serious things. The title tells the story about how insufferable working behind fashion can be. Although, David Frankel may not be the goat of film directing. Anne Hathaway portrays Andrea "Andy", the main focus who is suffering from her boss, Miranda (Meryl Streep), especially that her twins want things a certain way like they wanted to read "Harry Potter" through a manuscript instead of a book. Andy acts so troubled that Nate (Adrian Grenier) did not want to be with her anymore. Does that mean it is best not to gain ones you love if you are too busy focused on work? Do not worry, Miranda was troubled too. When I heard of the name, "The Devil Wears Prada", I thought this was a song by Madonna like "Papa Don't Preach". And that is OK, because there are many Madonna songs in the movie.

This film was pretty good. I even dare to say it was ahead of its time wonderful performances from all the cast. Meryl Streep, as always is the start of the show, Anne Hathaway brings to life complex, but likable character. It took me a long time to watch it, but after watching this, I can’t wait for the sequel.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Excellent. Andy's boyfriend wasn't "right about everything" btw, and the couple probably should have just broken up sooner as young adults grow apart sometimes. Emily Blunt was a big part of this film yet sadly doesn't get enough credit for her contribution. A great story, a great title, and some terrific filming in both NYC and Paris.
