Meryl Streep is superb as Miranda Priestly, editor of “Runway” magazine, the nation’s premier fashion mag. She is also ‘the devil,’ a notoriously demanding, bitchy, and very smart individual that lives for the mag and fashion and sees it as the essence of life itself. She terrorizes and uses those she employs, including Stanley Tucci as her number 2, who is marvelous. All the power is expressed quietly, almost at a whisper. She modeled her presentation of self her on Clint Eastwood in the Dirty Harry pictures. She never raises her voice, no matter how angry she is. Along comes Andie Sachs (Anne Hathaway) a cute, frumpy (gorgeous underneath, of course) 22-yo straight out of j school at Northwestern who wants to break into publishing and disdains the fashion scene. She gets the jobs due to her smarts and is transformed into model beauty via the cloths and styling shown her by Tucci. Soon she’s Miranda’s chosen girl and therein lays the rub. Very funny for the first hour, then it becomes preachier as it approaches the climactic resolution. Will she stay, rise to the top, and become a true Miranda clone or won’t she?. Wrong answer but hey, it’s really fiction here. This was a very good movie to see on DVD. Our daughter loved it and we’re glad we saw her with it. She really got it and got into it. And Streep is truly fine and fun to watch. Tucci and Streep have all the best lines
