The Devil Wears Prada [DVD]

This is a fantastic film. My teen daughter loves it “…that’s all” is our new catchphrase

Brilliant movie

Well packed, good disk, world famous original what more can i add? This is a world famous DVD, and richly deserved. I note that a number of professional reviewers down-mark, but I rather think they may have missed the point

Arrived on time, as usual Amazon are brilliant love the movie and will be even better in Blu Ray

I recently got this from Amazon, and finally got around to watching it at the weekend. I didn't really think i'd like this movie at all. It was been £3 for a while now at Amazon, and it wasn't untill i seen a trailer about it on one of my dvds that i decided to get it.It's about Anne Hathaway, who i admit, i know nothing about!. She goes for a job at a fashion magazine, and the ruler of the roost is Meryl streep ( 101 dalmations fame)Everyone says she isnt right for the job, even she doesnt think she is. She does t ry, but Meryl streep makes her life a misery by ordering coffee, and slapping her coat on the desk. She gets treated like a slave.I'm not into girly girly stuff, and i don't think you need to be to enjoy this film.Anne hathaway has a boyfriend character, and he is very cute. I think he is on some usa tv series now anyway.It's a good movie, and i'd recommend it, and it's only £3, so may as well give it a try :)

Love this film!

I usually hate comedies but I think this is great and quite hilarious .

A neurotic reworking of the traditional Cinderella ploy, set in modern day New York City. Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway) is an aspiring magazine journalist with vaguely PC socio-friendly leanings. Unable to secure a more suitable job, she “settles” for a junior position at the most iconic fashion rag in town, Runway (a thin disguise for America's top fashion magazine). Frumpy Andy despises the vacuous world of fashion and her menial, subservient job, despite being told that “a million girls would kill for it”. Difficult to believe once we are introduced to her boss, the imperious editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly (clearly based on a real person). Meryl Streep does a good job in a fairly one-dimensional role, which she attempts to make slightly more human at the end, with zero success. The character is really too egotistical and charmless to garner much sympathy, from me anyway.Excellent supporting performance from Stanley Tucci as the passionate right-hand man who, in reverse gender-stereotyping, had to overcome the stigma of wanting to work in a non-manly profession. I also liked Emily Blunt, very watchable in an early part. She is funny and makes the most of a limited opportunity. Absolutely awful the protagonist, Anne Hathaway, who is cringe-worthy in every scene. I find her hard to watch, she alternates between wooden and over the top, and her voice grates like chalk on a blackboard. The less said the better about her boyfriend and close circle of friends, whose judgemental behaviour is unrealistic.The plot was not all that gripping, and more courage was needed to expose the shocking exploitation of young, gullible girls but, to be fair, the story was all about the magazine. Still it could have been much better if they had shown more of the actual behind-the-scenes world of fashion, instead of getting bogged down with the boring angle of the sulky misfit who works hard to fit in and (surprise, surprise) ends up being fabulous once she begs access to an ending stream of divine, trendy outfits. How shallow is that? Maybe that is the message of the film: that appearances are all that counts in this toxic, pretentious environment.Not a lot of memorable moments, but worth watching once for Stanley Tucci's nuanced work, and Meryl Streep's unflinching portrayal of a self-important bully of a woman, puffed up by far too much undeserved adulation, and whose main talent is to cling to her exalted position by fair means or foul.Lots of special features on this DVD, which I really enjoyed despite a bit of repetition. The running commentary had so many people involved that it could have got chaotic, but it didn't. Deleted scenes (13), theatrical trailer, the usual not-really-funny bloopers, and 6 fairly beefy featurettes: the best for me were about Valentino (one of the few designers left with a sense of style and elegance) and Patricia Field. Almost better than the movie itself!

merci

Package arrived on time, and in good condition as described. Never watched The Devil Wears Prada until now, and it was a well-done movie with the writing/humor surrounding a fashion magazine held in the iron grip of a controlling woman (Meryl Streep) making everyone's life hell. Andy (Anne Hathaway) starts a job at this magazine that quickly takes over her life while Emily (Emily Blunt) watches from the sidelines and makes smarmy remarks at her expense. Bonus seeing Stanley Tucci being a sassy fashion designer.Being almost 20 years old, this movie couldn't possibly be made today as people would 100% be offended by it, but I had a wonderful time watching it with my best friend.

Muy bien y llego rápido

Il film e stupendo mostra che anche una persona semplice può diventare una persona speciale.

Fan du réalisateur et de Meryl Streep. Un film devenu un grand classique du cinéma.
