LA Weekly (Ella Taylor)
Frankel has cut, pasted and rejiggered the novel, mostly for the better. As adapted by Aline Brosh McKenna, The Devil Wears Prada is crisper, less self-righteous and mercifully shorter than its intermittently funny but interminable source. ...read the complete Devil Wears Prada movie review at LA Weekly (Ella Taylor)

New York Magazine (David Edelstein)
A scantily clad revenge memoir. ...read the complete Devil Wears Prada movie review at New York Magazine (David Edelstein)
Newsweek (David Ansen)
When the satire stays focused on Streep or her snooty Brit assistant (Emily Blunt), "Prada" is malicious fun. But the central story about how smart, idealistic Anne Hathaway, as Miranda's drably dressed new assistant, loses her soul in pursuit of success ...read the complete Devil Wears Prada movie review at Newsweek (David Ansen)

They put the material on lifts - and end up tripping into TV dramedy land. ...read the complete Devil Wears Prada movie review at Baltimore Sun (Michael Sragow)

Xi-online (Gabriella Adèr)
Wat krijgen we te zien als je Meryl Streep in haute couture het beroemdste modeblad ter wereld laat runnen? The Devil Wears Prada is gebaseerd op de gelijknamige bestseller van Lauren Weisberger en gaat over Andrea "Andy" Sachs die een baan krijgt als ...read the complete Devil Wears Prada movie review at Xi-online (Gabriella Adèr)
Salon.com (Stephanie Zacharek)
Probably supposed to be half fashion fantasy, half satire of the fashion world. What a drag that it's not enough of either. ...read the complete Devil Wears Prada movie review at Salon.com (Stephanie Zacharek)
Charlotte Observer (Lawrence Toppman)
It's a self-blunting satire, a toothless attack on fashionistas that twists around tortuously and ends up biting (well, gumming) its own tail. ...read the complete Devil Wears Prada movie review at Charlotte Observer (Lawrence Toppman)

Premiere (Aaron Hillis)
So stupendously funny at times that she (Streep) nearly salvages the whole thing. ...read the complete Devil Wears Prada movie review at Premiere (Aaron Hillis)
Dallas Observer (Rob Nelson)
More "Pretty Woman" than "Working Girl," The Devil Wears Prada really lives to give its angel a high-class makeover. ...read the complete Devil Wears Prada movie review at Dallas Observer (Rob Nelson)

Chicago Reader (J.R. Jones)
An agreeably shallow comedy. ...read the complete Devil Wears Prada movie review at Chicago Reader (J.R. Jones)
Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
When I was young there was a series of books about boys and girls dreaming of the careers they'd have as grown-ups. I can't remember what the titles were, but let's say one was Don Brown, ...read the complete Devil Wears Prada movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
The Onion (A.V. Club) (Keith Phipps)
Sometimes actors get parts so rich that they almost can't help but make meals of them. Playing a frosty, high-powered editor in The Devil Wears Prada, Meryl Streep turns the role into a four-course dinner and shows up with her own dessert...But it's hard ...read the complete Devil Wears Prada movie review at The Onion (A.V. Club) (Keith Phipps)
Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
Meryl Streep is indeed poised and imperious as Miranda, and Anne Hathaway is a great beauty who makes a convincing career girl. I liked Stanley Tucci, too, as Nigel... But I thought the movie should have reversed the roles played by Grenier and Baker. ...read the complete Devil Wears Prada movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
Wall Street Journal (Joe Morgenstern)
Mistrustful of its audience, it's full of actors -- apart from Streep -- playing broad attitudes rather than characters. Crafted like a high end TV show, it's a sort of video Vogue -- lite, brite and trite. ...read the complete Devil Wears Prada movie review at Wall Street Journal (Joe Morgenstern)
The New Republic (Stanley Kauffmann)
The best performance comes from Stanley Tucci as the Runway art director. Tucci presents a homosexual man without a trace of cartoon--shrewd, skilled, and weathered without being worn. It is a well-judged and accomplished piece of work. ...read the complete Devil Wears Prada movie review at The New Republic (Stanley Kauffmann)
Austin Chronicle (Marjorie Baumgarten)
Anne Hathaway showed in Brokeback Mountain that she has the acting chops to keep her from getting pigeonholed as a princess diarist. Now graduating from the teen role that built her reputation in the two Princess Diaries films, Hathaway does more of the ...read the complete Devil Wears Prada movie review at Austin Chronicle (Marjorie Baumgarten)

Austin Chronicle (Marjorie Baumgarten)
If you shut down your brain and simply take in the wardrobe and performances by Streep and Blunt you'll have a swell time, like aimlessly flipping the pages of a fashion magazine. ...read the complete Devil Wears Prada movie review at Austin Chronicle (Marjorie Baumgarten)
