"No, no, that wasn't a question."

The Devil Wears Prada - I should probably have read this book after I saw the movie. While this movie didn't fall short it just was so different from the book and yet partially like the book, it more difficult to enjoy because I kept seeing and recalling the differences. The movie follows a new college graduate who ends up working for a fashion magazine, Runway, and the boss from hell, Miranda Priestly. The movie gives more depth to the boss (Meryl Streep) and makes the assistant (Anne Hathaway) appear more competent than in the novel. This movie is funny and interesting; it ends on a high note.

The movie had to deviate from the book and I understand that. In the book, the boss is so over the top demanding and the assistant does not like, understand, or care about fashion. Both of these facts were altered for the movie as was a major subplot about the assistant's friend. So I would say the movie is funny and entertaining. In ways I think the movie is better than the book because for most of the book the reader is left wondering why the assistant doesn't just quit this horrible, horrible job - the movie helps explain why she stays. So all in all a movie to watch.
