DEVİL WEARS PRADA
I have to say it is one of the funniest movies I've seen. The screenwriter both has maintained everything that was funny about the book, as well as chucked a lot of the duller subplots, and has formulated a movie that is a great deal more enjoyable than the book.
I'm sure you're all familiar with the basic premise - naive small-town girl comes to the big city hoping to be a journalist, and gets a job as assistant to Miranda Priestly, the much-feared editor of 'Runway' magazine. Thankfully, the cast was almost perfect and elevated the movie to a level it would not have otherwise reached.
I thought that Anne Hathaway was very appealing in her role; she made Andrea more likable and less snobbish than she was in the book although the screenwriter deserves credit for that, as well, she looked great in the couture she wore through most of the movie.
The supporting players were also very good, especially Emily Blunt (as Andrea's caustic fellow assistant, Emily) and Stanley Tucci (as Miranda's loyal but beleaguered right-hand man, Nigel). On many occasions, they stole scenes from the ostensibly 'central' character of Andrea.
The movie, while maintaining the book's premise, does not follow the book too closely, which I liked. The entire subplot from the book is eliminated; both Andrea's parents and boyfriend are less significant in the movie than in the book. I agreed with these changes, but I found those aspects of the book to be quite boring, and their omission made for a more streamlined movie.
I strongly recommend this movie to virtually anyone.
