Movie Review
Grade: B+
Anne Hathaway has successfully made the transition from kid star to serious actor. With her big eyes and innocent smile, she was the perfect candidate for "The Princess Diaries." She followed that family hit up with three PG-rated movies, a G-rated flick and two cartoons. Since 2005 though, things has changed. Having apparently realized that you can only stay in family-mode for so long, she has starred in "Havoc," "Brokeback Mountain" and now "The Devil Wears Prada," and has cemented herself as a worthwhile adult actor.

Evil has style, by Chris
July 27, 2006
Ok so this movie isn't for everyone. But hey...you don't have to watch it. I mean people are complaining that the movie revolves around fashion most of the time...hello? It's titled the devil wears PRADA! And yeah so it makes fun of fashion choices and how a whole lot of money needs to be spent just to look good. It pokes fun at the fashion world and how style is needed to survive among the superficial robots, and most of all that the multi-billion dollar industry is, well, built upon appearances. But seriously ladies, you're kidding yourself if you don't think thats even a tiny bit true. Sure it's aimed towards girls, but is it a chick flick? Yeah it gets emotional, but do all guys really need to see $h!t get blown up or have mindless perverted storylines with topless women to be entertained. Sure the movie has fashion, but its also about an evil boss. (which is extremely entertaining to watch) The cast was superb, though Tracie was underused. I don't know why people are so dissapointed. Its quite obvious what the movie is about and if you're that uncomfortable with the material then don't see it. Again...it's called The DEVIL wears PRADA. -DEVIL-(cruel humor)-PRADA-(fashion) ...not that difficult. It's not the must see of the year, but it is a good movie. Oh and Kyle? Pirates was in a totally different genre than this movie, and was probably given a c by being compared with the first movie. I agree with the reviewer about the first being better, but in all fairness i dont think it deserved a C. Savvy?
