(1 - 50) of 50 OFCS Rating: 74% Fresh Page   1   "If ... the heroine is going to be as immune to temptation as Andy is ... then the spiritual dimension better be staggering ... because the narrative will have no suspense."   Blogcritics.org   Alan Dale "There are some witty lines and pretty outfits, but when it comes to diabolical satire, The Devil Wears Prada merely strikes a pose."   Eye for Film   Anton Bitel "Although inhabiting her character as seriously as humanly possible, Meryl Streep ends up being extremely amusing as haughty Miranda Priestly."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker B+ "...a film for adults that seems refreshing with its lack of superheroes, special effects, and a bloated runtime."   FromTheBalcony   Bill Clark C- "The filmmakers have defanged the entire idea, choosing to turn Andrea's trip to hell and back into a series of pre-digested I heart New York sequences aimed at the average Perez Hilton reader."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf 3/5 "mediocre at best, namely because it just doesn't live up to the promise of its title. Priestly may be evil, but she's not the devil"   Filmcritic.com   Christopher Null "That Andy, so beautiful in her new wardrobe, comes to see this power as superficial and sad rather than desirable is plot-pointy and predictable."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 2.5/4 "Here is the stroke of an artist cutting through the narcissistic confusion around her, both shaming and enlivening this smooth but wafer-thin film."   Slant Magazine   Dan Callahan 3.5/4 "...there's simply no denying the effectiveness of virtually every aspect of the production..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair "The Devil Wears Prada is like that perfect couture sundress -- feather light, amusing and just the sort of thing for a warm summer evening."   Portland Tribune   Dawn Taylor B- "Pretty to look at but not much food for the brain."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 3.5/4 "The year's shrewdest comedy thus far."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 2/5 "Una comedia previsible, inofensiva y finalmente olvidable sobre el mundo del trabajo, la moda y la frivolidad. Meryl Streep es su principal atractivo."   Uruguay Total   Enrique Buchichio B "It still isn't very substantive and probably would have been even less so without Meryl Streep in the lead. Enjoy it for what it is, though: fresh and breezy, and comforting when you realize your boss isn't as bad as Miranda."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider B "If The Devil Wears Prada weren't so infectiously entertaining, it may have been regrettable."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov "The story itself falls too frequently into the standard cliches of the awkward-girl-turns-into-a-swan-thanks-to-an-unexpected-fairy-godmother formula."   DVD Review   Felix Gonzalez Jr. B "Aside from Streep, there really isn't much to The Devil Wears Prada...With her,though, it becomes an acting master class in how to make a lot out of very little."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 4/5 "A smashing success as a glimpse of the fashion world and as a depiction of a young woman's introduction to the ethical choices that form character on the job."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat B+ "If fashion is indeed a special brand of terrorism, then Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep), editrix of the fictional magazine Runway, is the Osama bin Laden of Fifth Avenue."   Modern Fabulousity   Gabriel Shanks 3/4 "The Devil Wears Prada is two films in one: a caustic, energetic satire of the fashion world and a cautionary melodrama."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2.5/5 "Against its own will, the story undermines its own happy conclusion."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 3/4 "... a glossy good-time movie ..."   CBS 5 (SF Bay Area)   James Rocchi 7/10 "Click here to read review"   Kinoblog.com   Jaroslav Vishtaljuk 8/10 "The intersection of career and personal life is explored in The Devil Wears Prada, a slick yet refreshingly mature take on the boss-from-hell premise."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 7/10 "...the real reason to see this film has got to be Streep..."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo "The Devil Wears Prada is a delicious page-turner of a movie, a wonderfully wicked examination of absolute power and how it corrupts absolutely."   Light Views   John Larsen "Meryl Streep is the reason, if reason there be, to see The Devil Wears Prada...Streep, and of course, the clothes. "   In the Dark   Jonathan F. Richards 3/4 "Funciona por el talento de sus actrices, por lo inteligente de su guión y por no pretender ser nada fuera de lo común. Fue una de las sorpresas del año pasado y con justa razón."   Moviola   Jorge Avila Andrade 3/5 "The lack of camp is either what is best about the film or what is desperately wrong...It's worth seeing for Streep alone, or making fun of the clothes, but don't spend too much money on it."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 3.5/5 "If some sixtysomething nerd who read books about galactic empires and hasn't even touched a fashion magazine can love this movie, anyone can."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr B "...the great Meryl Streep...has an estimable field day playing the wolf in designer clothing."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 4/5 "Moralista, sí. Predecible, un poco. Pero divertida, ingeniosa, ácida y exquisitamente disfrutable... especialmente por el extraordinario trabajo de una verdadera deidad de la actuación: la Sra. Merryl Streep."   Cinenganos   Luis Martinez 3/4 "There's a surprisingly sharp little sting hidden in this sleek throwback to old-fashioned Hollywood melodramas about sweet young things thrown into the lairs of hard-edged harpies who value their careers above all things womanly."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh B- "Streep plays Miranda subtly, not needing theatrics for the razorblade spitting she does to nick all of the unquestionably incompetent people around the character."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer "[D]eliciously mean and yet not totally heartless... for all its inevitability, [it's]beautifully played and more than a tad touching."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/4 "[Streep's] icy hauteur and acidic condescension makes for a most irresistible injection of venom into what would be a typically sugary Princess Diaries installment."   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina 3/4 "A clever, funny look at the way we sometimes risk selling our souls in the name of success."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B+ "Streep creates panic with gestures measured in millimeters -- a lifted eyebrow, a pursed lip, just removing her sunglasses or tilting her head with the white meringue of a hairstyle that wouldn't dare get mussed. She is terrifying, mesmerizing, hilarious,"   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow C "Makes one pine for any comparable '50s working-girl comedy (or, for that matter, 1988's Working Girl)."   Lessons of Darkness   Nick Schager 3.5/5 "...relies on dialogue and decent acting rather than such lofty comedy concepts as farting, fat guys in tights, or a dog humping a stuffed animal..."   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar 3/5 "Streep is a far better reason to see The Devil Wears Prada than the movie itself."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves C+ "Works well as a comedy, then sinks when it turns serious."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B "...The Devil Wears Prada is aimed at the youthful fashion-conscious femme audience and it hits its target squarely."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 2/4 "(The cast) take their characters as far as possible in the film's opening act but are required to hit the same notes over and over in the limited, repetitive screenplay."   Charlotte Weekly   Sean O'Connell "Anne Hathaway is Patricia Field's latest fashion victim in this limp semi-satire."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 10/10 "Sophisticated comedies are rarely Oscar contenders but this may be the funniest chick-flick you're likely to see all summer."   Modamag.com   Susan Granger 3/4 "If there's scarcely an original moment in this breezy lark of a quipfest/cautionary tale, it's a dead-on, pricelessly funny send-up of the cutthroat, back-stabbing fashion world, where a size-6 dress size is cause for alarm."   Reel.com   Timothy Knight 1.5/4 ""Sex and the City" fashion porn married to The Princess Diaries 'tween ugly-duckling uplift."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf 3/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito  (1 - 50) of 50 OFCS Rating: 74% Fresh Page   1
