Review of The Devil Wears Prada (2006) by Billys. — 29 Jun 2006

I went into this movie hoping it was the next great leading role film for Meryl Streep that would bring her an Oscar nomination for Best Actress at next years Oscars, but alas, it turns out her record 14th nod will come in the supporting category as "The Devil Wears Prada" is actually Anne Hathaways faintly disguised "Pricess Diaries 3" and if it were not for Meryl Streep as the Queen B of Fashion, Miranda Preistley, this would be like a dozen other of the Lindsay Lohan-Hilary Duff teeney bop Saturday matinee movies.

But then there's Meryl in yet another tour-de-force role completely unlike any thing from her long career of brilliant performances making you wish from the first time she's off screen that the whole film should be about Miranda and not Andy.

I rated this movie a 7, with 6 of them being for Ms. Streep. You do the math.
