The Devil Wears Prada the movie

MrsMoose2001 · #1 July 2nd, 2006, 10:26 PM

Well I went to see the movie this afternoon. The fashions are beautiful, the jewelry is beautiful. What can I say, from a fashion standpoint, I highly recommend it.

I won't tell anything else so as not to give away anything in the movie. I loved the movie. DH thought it was "amusing".

I'm off to see this movie on Tuesday night with my daughter and SIL. Can't wait. Just saw a nice Meryl Streep this afternoon in Prairie Home Companion - looking forward to seeing her not-so-nice side and all the great fashions.

I'm so excited to see this! I wasn't all that impressed with the book, but the fashion will make the movie worthwhile for sure! I've heard it is better than the book also, if so, that would be great!

MrsMoose2001 · #5 July 2nd, 2006, 11:30 PM

I was not impressed with the book either, was a little bored with the book actually. The fashions made it worthwhile and for me that was the purpose of the movie, lol. I won't go further about the movie so as not to spoil for anyone else.

Enjoy!!

Just home from seeing the movie! (Had to see Superman first for the DH!) We all really enjoyed both movies actually. What's not to enjoy? Hunky Superman for the first movie and all those wonderful fashions in the second movie!

I saw this movie on Friday as a study break. It was really enjoyable. I'm not a big Streep fan, but I thought she did a beautiful job.

I am right there with you. We went to the "midnight" showing of Superman late Tuesday night. Brandon Rothe (sp?) is not as cute as Christopher Reeve was back in his day, but I think he filled the tights quite nicely.
Hubby and I saw the Devil Wears Prada Saturday Afternoon. He kept saying Meryl Streep reminded him of Cruella DeVille, he loved it. She is like the femail version of Christopher Walkin, She just naturally looks scary. Hell, I would not wanna work for her. LOL I am not into the lastet big fashion names, but I loved the movie! Never read the book though and from the sound of it, I guess that is a good thing.

We will see it Wed. nite after my daughter gets off from work. I tried to get her to see it with me this past Fri. but she did not want to spend a week-end night with good ole Mom! Not that I blame her! Hubby isn't interested. He did go see ole Superman Sat. nite though-and I was not intersted so I didn't go with him.

ciderapple · #11 July 3rd, 2006, 10:38 AM

I found the book to be an enjoyable light read, looking forward to catching the movie soon!

MrsMoose2001 · #12 July 3rd, 2006, 10:44 AM

Well I'm the Superman fan not DH, he won't ask to go see that movie for sure, lol, although I may if nothing else is out that interests us. I want to see the Lake House, anyone see that with Sandra Bullock. Love her new hair cut.

Momofmeg, let us know what you think, have fun and enjoy.

I loved Streep's earrings, especially 2 pair, in the opening, I think those were from Bergdorf's, I saw similar ones at Bergdorfs (the hoops), but then she has another pair of hoops, that have something big in the center hanging, loved those even more.

Hathaway's necklaces were great a lot of Chanel oh the bling bling was so nice as well as the clothes, lol.

annfi · #13 July 3rd, 2006, 11:32 AM

Hubby, 15-1/2 year old daughter and I saw the movie yesterday afternoon
and we all loved it. We are big Meryl Streep fans. And then we enjoyed
Prairie Home show last night on PBS "Great Performances."
Now I want to find the perfect classic black formal for our cruise - just
like Ann Hathaways!!! ha ha

travelpeon · #14 July 3rd, 2006, 05:07 PM

This wasn't Anne Hathaway's most challenging acting role, but as always, I really enjoyed seeing her. Looooved the clothes though I do wish they'd cut out a few of the jokes that implied a Size 6 was not fashionable. (There's the realities of the fashion world and there's also the realities of insecure girls who might watch this movie. )

The boyfriend also enjoyed the movie. He was all for seeing a boss worse than his

Saw this movie this afternoon with my DD. Really enjoyed it.

I loved the millie! X's Millennium class ships are lovely! We've done two and will go to Europe on one next summer again. The eastern caribbean is always nice, nothing exciting, but a good vacation none-the-less. Have a great time this December

Saw the movie this afternoon, it was pretty good.

Did anybody see "In her Shoes" this past winter, my all time favorite movie.

satchiesmom · #18 July 3rd, 2006, 10:10 PM

I saw the movie yesterday and loved it. Went by myself, DH wasn't interested. The clothes were great and Meryl Streep was awesome.

I saw that recently! What a great movie! Toni Colette was wondeful, and I enjoyed seeing a new side of Cameron Diaz as well! I really recommend it as well

Oh, and of course, when you got to see the shoes in it, they were fabulous! lol

HeavySurf · #20 July 4th, 2006, 09:08 PM

Just saw "The Devil Wears Parada" today and really enjoyed it, but I did resent the frequent references to Anne Hathaway's "weight problem" and her size six clothing as if she were 350 pounds. Actually Streep was heavier than Hathaway and even Steven Stucci was! But I know the fashion industry does hold any woman over a size two in utter contempt.

I think what is compelling about the movie is that almost everyone has had a really mean boss at some time. We can relate to the problem. They could do an exact movie with a law firm or a Washington political firm or a doctor's office, etc. Hey, I know! A cruise ship with a really mean cruise director. Mean bosses are in every industry and profession.
