Critic Reviews

New York Post - Kyle Smith

If 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. Read full review

Boston Globe - Wesley Morris

While the picture isn't brilliant, it is, at its most entertaining, a kicky, surprisingly astute throwback to bygone Hollywood social comedies. Read full review

Rolling Stone - Peter Travers

Sinfully funny. Read full review

Film Threat - Pete Vonder Haar

Actually one of the better comedies I've seen this year speaks volumes for the quality of the performances and the caliber of the script. Read full review

Miami Herald - Rene Rodriguez

A lightweight, formulaic piece of fluff, but you wouldn't know that by Meryl Streep's performance. Read full review

The A.V. Club - Keith Phipps

Sometimes actors get parts so rich that they almost can't help but make meals of them. Playing a frosty, high-powered editor in The Devil Wears Prada, Meryl Streep turns the role into a four-course dinner and shows up with her own dessert...But it's hard to care about what's going on whenever she's offscreen. Read full review

Austin Chronicle - Marjorie Baumgarten

If you shut down your brain and simply take in the wardrobe and performances by Streep and Blunt you'll have a swell time, like aimlessly flipping the pages of a fashion magazine. Read full review

This near-perfect summer sleeper (at least it was a sleeper to me) provides a tour de triumphe performance by the one and only Meryl Streep, and good fun, and a few heartbreaks, in between. Sad evening.

I quite enjoyed this film, one of my Top 15 ever. I really liked watching Emily Blunt, and Anne Hathaway was pretty good too. Grenier did really well, but if you watched Entourage once you already knew he'd be amazing. Streep, oh Streep, you take my breath away. Perfect role for her.

Predictable and unenlightening - but, oh, so much fun!

A "must see" for at least 3 stunning performances, if not that of the lead. Actually better than the book.

Understand this movie is not for the deep thinkers. Understand it damn well, because you get what you see. I enjoyed Meryl Streep in this film as well as the woefully unaware Anne Hathaway. While predictable, it does offer some outlook on fashion versus being an actual human being in theUnderstand this movie is not for the deep thinkers.

Par où commencer avec cette... chose ? ah oui je sais, par Anne Hathaway la greluche ! c'est une grue et une bécasse horripilante mais ma foi, elle a la tête de l'emploi pour son rôle de ravie de la crèche qui fait l'assistante-esclave pour le Diable en personne, à savoir une Meryl StreepPar où commencer avec cette... chose ? ah oui je sais, par Anne Hathaway la greluche ! c'est une grue et une bécasse horripilante mais ma foi, elle a la tête de l'emploi pour son rôle de ravie de la crèche qui fait l'assistante-esclave pour le Diable en personne, à savoir une Meryl Streep qui semble bien s'amuser dans son personnage exécrable, hautain, méprisant, abject et tutti quanti...

Le ton se veut bien entendu léger et on sait ce que cet adjectif accolé à une "comédie" américaine implique en termes de "ras des pâquerettes" : c'est à la fois mièvre, d'un humour (?) inexistant (ou vraiment sans le faire exprès mais même là...) et d'une bêtise, d'une platitude... bref, au ras du plancher et encore, ça con-tinue de creuser sans s'arrêter...

Non, pour une vraie illustration de l'arrivisme et de la servitude -du servage plutôt- qui transforme les gens en infâmes crevards, voir du côté de Swimming with sharks. Ici, la "Prada" n'est qu'une connasse qui met sous sa coupe une bécasse qui se transforme peu à peu en connasse, puis tout-à-coup lâche l'affaire sans le savoir vraiment comme si son cerveau de blonde dans son corps "taille 40" venait de faire "tilt".

Mais elle est tellement bête cette bécasse qu'elle admire la peau de vache, car tellement vide elle-même -juste des courants d'air entre les oreilles, pas plus- que si on ne lui marche pas dessus 24/7, elle est toute perdue.

De toute façon, le film est entièrement bidon avec sa fin moralisatrice syndicale et se révèle d'un ennui stupéfiant et seule la si jolie Emily Blunt apporte un peu de talent dans cette pseudo-caricature du milieu de la mode, comme si d'ailleurs, on avait besoin d'un tel film avec ses gros sabots pour comprendre qu'il s'agit d'une caste de peigne-culs et de trous de balle.… Expand
