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.
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.

Good overview of the film. Unfortunately, this has been posted in the category for the Blu-Ray DVD, but mentions nothing about the new Blu-Ray format. Given that this has been posted in this specialised category, I would like to know about the quality of the new format.

MERYL STREEP was fantastic in this movie - one of my all time favourites.
