One Guy's Opinion (Frank Swietek)
Aside from Streep, there really isn’t much to “The Devil Wears Prada”--just a fluffy tale of a young woman who ultimately has to chose between becoming her boss or remaining herself. With her, though, it becomes an acting master class in how to ...read the complete Devil Wears Prada movie review at One Guy's Opinion (Frank Swietek)
Hollywood Report Card (Ross Anthony)
Admittedly, I’m not a fashion guy. I’m not ashamed to be seen in my thrift shop specials and I prefer women without make up. So, some might have expected me not to enjoy this film. But, the fact is, this is a very well done production. It opens with a ...read the complete Devil Wears Prada movie review at Hollywood Report Card (Ross Anthony)

RopeofSilicon (Laremy Legel)
The Devil Wears Prada is a great example of how to make an entertaining movie without resorting to gimmicks. You don't need a world you can hilariously pause, or a hero flying pointlessly around, or an odd fake Mexican wrestler. You just need a basic ...read the complete Devil Wears Prada movie review at RopeofSilicon (Laremy Legel)

They're positioning The Devil Wears Prada, starring Meryl Streep, as the adult (mostly female adult) alternative to Superman Returns. Most critics agree that Streep's performance significantly overpowers Brandon Routh's as the Man of Steel. Gene Seymour ...read the complete Devil Wears Prada movie review at ShowBIZ Data
The Land of Eric (Eric D. Snider)
But the movie is fun, if nothing else, directed by "Sex and the City" vet David Frankel with an appropriate measure of panache and sarcasm.
