I went to see "The Devil Wears Prada" on the 4th of July and found myself pleasantly surprised. It was intelligent, well written and directed and the cinematography was jaw-dropping at times, and simply beautiful from shot to shot.
The main character, Andy, actually had a personality and behaved like a real person would - a stunning development in a movie. Her actions at the end took me by surprise to say the least. As movies go, there are some very standard conventions that their plots and characters follow, and these often conflict with what 'real' people do and not in a good way. So when you find yourself rooting for a character in a movie, it really has something going for it.
I actually cared about the characters and found myself interested in what they were doing. As movies go, there is little higher praise than that.
The subject matter (fashion) may not hold everyone's interest, but if you think it might hold your own in the least, you would be well off to go see this movie.
