The Devil Wears Prada Reviews

When you think of the final years of Fox before the Disney acquisition, The Devil Wears Prada is one of the standout films--they don't make them like they used to.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/5 | Jun 30, 2021

If looks can truly kill, Meryl Streep's Miranda may very well be the fashion industry's most notorious serial killer.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 6, 2020

This one goes out to anyone suffering the whims of a tyrannical employer. For you, this will be so much more than a fun, fashion-conscious comedy. It will be therapy.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 11, 2020

The film ultimately fails because it lacks the sharpness needed to make a successful satire. Who would have thought that a comedy about models could suffer from being too nice?

Full Review | Original Score: C | Nov 20, 2019

It's Meryl's movie, everyone says, and in a way it is. She gives a furiously funny performance as a furiously nasty bit of work... But, as I said earlier, scenes without her suffer horribly.

Full Review | Aug 22, 2018

There isn't anything unexpected here; it's the usual clichés: women are nasty cows who blithely undercut each other for jobs, and men are largely irrelevant to the process. . .

Full Review | Aug 23, 2017

We continue to reflect on the movie's lessons long after the laughs have diminished because they are sound, relevant and conveyed by the talents of actors who offer legitimate stakes in the material.

Nimbly assembled and tartly performed

Full Review | Aug 30, 2009

An ironic measure of the film's research into the fashion-mag scene is the fact that there's almost no journalism in it.

Full Review | Aug 21, 2009

Just another formula mediocre dramedy...

There are some must-have luxuries here, first of which is Meryl Streep's fascinating performance as the fearsome Miranda Priestly.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | May 27, 2008

An agreeably shallow comedy.

Full Review | May 27, 2008

The Devil Wears Prada isn't a brilliant film, but it certainly is an entertaining one.

Full Review | Original Score: 7/10 | Feb 28, 2008

An ideal movie for DVD: you can pick and choose moments and lines to revisit while ignoring, or trying to ignore, the thematic compromises, hectoring impulses, and structural handicaps that start to engulf the film.

Full Review | Original Score: B- | Aug 4, 2007

Streep is a far better reason to see "The Devil Wears Prada" than the movie itself.

Full Review | Original Score: C | Jul 30, 2007

It's to the film's credit that I still found it an enjoyable satire, as glossy and superficial as the industry it purports to skewer.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 14, 2007

The story itself falls too frequently into the standard cliches of the awkward-girl-turns-into-a-swan-thanks-to-an-unexpected-fairy-godmother formula.

Full Review | Jul 10, 2007

Funciona por el talento de sus actrices, por lo inteligente de su guión y por no pretender ser nada fuera de lo común. Fue una de las sorpresas del año pasado y con justa razón.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 6, 2007
