Plot Synopsis: Meryl Streep tears
up the landscape as demanding fashion editor, Miranda Priestley, of
"Runway" magazine. She is a terror to everyone who is around her as is
quickly depicted in the opening scenes of the movie. Her first assistant
(Emily Blunt) strives to please her and tries to emulate her, but one
can sense that she is not quite as hard as she tries to put on. Into
this mix comes a young woman (Anne Hathaway) who knows nothing of the
fashion industry, has never read the magazine, and doesn't know who
Miranda Priestley is. She only sees this as a stepping stone to another
journalism position. Showing no fashion sense and immediately scorned by
everyone, Miranda nonetheless hires her as the second assistant. When
Miranda demands that she obtain the next unpublished Harry Potter
manuscript, you can sense that she is trying to force her to quit, but
it makes the young woman dig in to please her boss. With the help of one
of the magazine's fashion editors (Stanley Tucci), she gets a complete
makeover and a new security. However, with her new appearance and the
demands placed on her, she starts to lose her friends, family and her
live-in boy friend (Adrian Grenier). As she is whisked away to Paris
with Miranda and faces all of the glamor that could be hers, including a
flashy if not artificial freelance journalist (Simon Baker), she is
forced to make the decision of where she wants to be in her life. It is
obvious that the film would like to make Anne Hathaway into a young
Audrey Hepburn. While she is certainly pleasant, she doesn't quite reach
the pinnacle of Hepburn. The film contains adult situations, but no
nudity or on-screen sex.
