The Devil Wears Prada - 3.5 stars

The Devil Wears Prada was a nice surprise. It's a fun story of a brainy college grad who takes a job she thinks will be something to keep her busy while she finds something respectable. She's the personal assistant to the editor of Runway Magazine (aka Vogue), which turns out to be the monster job. It's the eternal struggle between feeling challenged & valued and balancing your personal life, but it's freshly told in a way that will appeal to the masses.

Meryl Streep is, of course, excellent. Anne Hathaway is forgivably overacted. The HOT Adrian Grenier (Entourage) makes an appearance as well.
