Tagline: Meet Andy Sachs. A million girls would kill to have her job. She's not one of them.

IMDb Plot Synopsis: In New York, the simple and naive, just-graduated in journalism, Andrea Sachs is hired to work as the second assistant of the powerful and sophisticated Miranda Priestly, the ruthless and merciless executive of the Runway fashion magazine. Andrea dreams to become a journalist and faces the opportunity as a temporary professional challenge. 

My Review: The Devil Wears Prada is, in my eyes, an absolute classic. It is smart, classy and chic and the perfect film were you want a balance between a girly rom-com and an intelligent, interesting film. It is the definition of feel-good and is incredibly well-written - every line either subtly or not is witty! 

It’s a love letter to New York and the fashion world and has far more to it than meets the eye. You go on an emotional journey along with Andy and learn and grow with her as you catch a glimpse into the glamourous world of a high-end fashion magazine. Anne Hathaway is perfect, Emilie Blunt even more so. And Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci show us what outstanding acting is all about! 

Perfection!

Score: 9/10
