Last night, I went with some friends to see The Devil Wears Prada. I give it two thumbs up - in a girl movie kind of way. Not everyone will enjoy it, but for someone like me, who is fascinated by the fashion industry, it's quite entertaining. Plus, Anne Hathaway makes really white skin look good, which is a small victory for people like me (ha!).
Best lines from the movie: "I'm on this new diet plan: I basically don't eat anything and if I feel like I'm going to pass out, I eat a cube of cheese. I'm one stomach flu away from my goal weight!" and something about "two is the new four, zero is the new two, and six is the new fourteen."
It's not the kind of movie I'll buy on DVD and watch over and over, but I would definitely watch it again. Great acting, true to the book (which, yes, I read a couple of years ago), fun clothes, cold-hearted boss: what's not to like?
Ahh, yes. Adrienne and I have already seen it twice. Add another guilty pleasure to my full bag of them. And this after I've been waiting for the new Superman movie to come out for years!! The stars have not aligned yet for me to see Supe (I had a certain brother in mind who grew up with Superman pajamas to match mine - as that prospect is fading I think I'm gonna just go)
My favorite lines in TDWP (and the ones that made me wish I had a pen and paper) were when Miranda Priestly was waxing eloquent and philosophical about fashion, tying it all back to Andi's laughing at the oh-so-similar "cerulean" belts. It was great!
