The Devil Wears Prada / USA / 2006

This is essentially Unbelievably Good Looking Betty, with Ann Hathaway completely failing to convince as dowdy and down- to- earth. Sure, Meryl Streep’s performance is effortless, but that could just be because the part wasn’t particularly hard to play- mean spirited bitch, occasional hints of humanity. It’s hardly Lady Macbeth. The film itself is mostly entertaining, though a sharper look at the shallow and meaningless world of fashion would have been appreciated. It’s TV counterpart is far more convincing.

    Blunt and Streep are deliciously nasty; Pat Field’s parade of couture induces drooling and envy. The rest is “a disappointment.”
