The Devil Wears Prada (2006)

Synopsis: An aspiring journalist takes a job as an assistant to the bitchy editor-in-chief of a fashion magazine.
Appraisal: This film sabotages itself artistically (but probably secures itself a higher grossing too) by placing an exaggerated emphasis on the pop music soundtrack, the flashy display of fashion items, and the romantic elements in the plot. That being said, the end result still offers some insight about sadomasochistic behavior in the workplace. A better film with similar subject matter is 'Swimming with Sharks (1994)'.
Rating: 57
