Leave your thoughts about The Devil Wears Prada.
| Modamag.comSusan GrangerSophisticated comedies are rarely Oscar contenders but this may be the funniest chick-flick you're likely to see all summer. |
| tonymedley.comTony MedleyStreep and Tucci are wonderful (but) best of all is Emily Blunt, who plays the bitchy, ambition-obsessed Emily with a deft touch. |
| WaffleMovies.comWillie WaffleBuying a ticket to this instead of Superman Returns this week is like ordering pizza on Thanksgiving, but Streep gives Miranda the kind of authority and steely stare that would make a Navy SEAL shake in his boots. |
| Reel Times: Reflections on CinemaMark PfeifferStreep plays Miranda subtly, not needing theatrics for the razorblade spitting she does to nick all of the unquestionably incompetent people around the character. |
| New York PostKyle SmithIf you can tell the difference between a mule and a pump, attendance at The Devil Wears Prada is mandatory. You might have to reach back to "Funny Face" to find a fashion movie so on-trend. |
| Orlando WeeklyJohn ThomasonThe Devil Wears Prada is to the cutthroat world of chic glossies what Swimming With Sharks is to the movie business: a satirical indictment of its industry, with naive lackeys serving as the spectator's surrogates through the glitzy abyss. |
| Washington PostJennifer FreyStreep makes it work. Streep makes it fun . |
| Film Journal InternationalMaria GarciaAn insipid script by Laws of Attraction co-writer Aline Brosh McKenna packs a few droll one-liners, but mostly the film only aspires to its chick-lit roots. |
| Murphy's Movie ReviewsTed MurphyIf you have ever held an office job, you probably have encountered the "boss from hell" and Streep manages to make the character both amusing, scary and touching (sometimes simultaneously). She alone makes the film worth seeing. |
| Spectrum (St. George, Utah)Bruce BennettGive this devil her due. One of this year's classiest, wittiest, and most refreshing films. |
