Ok, Well I am not a fan of sex in the city and I thought this would really be along the same lines.
I chose to watch it as I love Meryl Streep and believe that she is a very talented actress.
However this film actually has good characterisations, a plot and a very good cast indeed.

The Devil Wears Prada is a fresh, funny, fabulous masterpiece. Academy Award winner Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway are sensationally entertaining in every way.

know it based on the soundtrack to this movie on life at a fashion mag: Not only does it start with Madonna, but the song is "Vogue"--pretty much the single most obvious choice there could be. That said, "Vogue" remains a great track: it hasn't aged one bit since its 1990 release, and fits in well with the first of two variations on dance music offered here: club anthems (see also DJ Colette's "Feelin' Hypnotized," David Morales and Tamra Keenan's "Here I Am") and sophisticated lounge (Bitter:Sweet's "Bittersweet Faith," Mocean Worker's "Tres Tres Chic"). The latter style also feeds directly into Theodore Shapiro's score, which is represented only on the jazzy suite that concludes the CD. The balance of the tracks is made up of elegant, well-crafted songs that feel perhaps a bit too... polite (Alanis Morissette's cover of Seal's "Crazy," Moby's "Beautiful"). It would have been nice to get more curve balls, like the aforementioned Mocean Worker and Azure Ray's lovely "Sleep," which fans of Imogen Heap should dig. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Once the Director has got over the setting up of Miranda Priestly (Streep) as the Uber Bitch and Andrea Hathaway (Andy Sachs) as the dedicated journalist who knows nothing about fashion then the plot synopsis starts to sizzle.
With Emma Blunt playing the dangerous senior assistant Emily, Stanley Tucci as the fashion guru Nigel and Simon Baker as the seductive journalist Christian Thompson the story starts to build well.
We see Andrea's (Andy) friends at first scoffing then jealous at her progress, watch while Miranda starts to trust Andy and cheer when Andy finally sorts out her priorities.
Regrettably the ending is pure Hollywood Saccharine, but nevertheless I still found it an enjoyable film overall.
Worth renting as it is definitely watchable but not a film I would add to my collection.
When bookish Northwestern grad Andy Sachs interviews to become fashion magazine editor Miranda's newest lackey, Miranda hires her not for her lacklustre wardrobe but for her intellect. Inside the pristine offices, Andy suffers through a never-ending list of impossible tasks, and is the subject of constant harassment by Miranda's jealous first assistant. But to the dismay of her boyfriend and close friends, Andy slowly finds herself seduced by the glamorous world of fashion, and by Miranda herself.

DVD Description
Adding an extra dimension to Lauren Weisberger's bestselling novel, THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA showcases Meryl Streep's knack for combining humour and sadness. While likely inspired by notorious VOGUE editor Anna Wintour, Streep's Miranda Priestly (head of Runway magazine) is entirely her own creation. Sporting silvery hair, a vast collection of fur coats, an encyclopedic knowledge of all things fashionable, and a killer smile, Miranda is full of wicked charm. With her mature beauty and commanding presence, Miranda is as fascinating to watch as she is intimidating to the constant rotation of assistants thrown her way. When bookish Northwestern grad Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway) interviews to become Miranda's newest lackey, Miranda hires her not for her lacklustre wardrobe but for her intellect. Inside the pristine Runway offices, Andy suffers through a never-ending list of impossible tasks, and is the subject of constant harassment by Miranda's jealous first assistant (Emily Blunt). But to the dismay of her boyfriend (Adrian Grenier) and close friends, Andy slowly finds herself seduced by the glamorous world of fashion, and by Miranda herself. While Andy's transformation comes largely in the form of new designer clothing, the makeover is mental as well. What starts out as a firm belief in fashion's vapidity and in Miranda's heartlessness gradually fades into the suspicion that the boss-from-hell might just be hiding a soul. While the book demonised its title character, the film gives new depths to her wrath. As Andy trades her undergrad wardrobe for one packed with Prada and Chanel (with help from Stanley Tucci in a brilliant role), viewers are able to savour the work of costume designer Patricia Field. Together with director David Frankel (who also worked on SEX AND THE CITY), Field creates a world of fashion so wonderfully extreme it would be hard for anyone to resist.
