Review – The Devil Wears Prada

So now having a crappy job makes you worth a major motion picture? This is one of those message pieces that tend to defeat their own purposes. For example, I think we’re supposed to scoff at the fashion industry’s obsession with thinness. However, our supposedly normal-bodied protagonist is repeatedly identified as a size six. Not to mention that she’s played by model-esque Anne Hathaway. Much of the rest of this production is as stiff and ill-conceived as its take on positive body image. Like the corner of the publishing business it attempts to lambaste, this movie is pretty, slick and expensive but short on substance. Mildly amusing
