movie review: the devil wears prada


i went to see the devil wears prada with a friend from work friday nite.  it's been awhile since i've seen a movie without talking animals or animation.  it was kinda weird.

anyway.  you all know i was a big fan of the book the devil wears prada.  i just finished the author's second effort - everyone worth knowing.  equally good (except i really could do with less references to eating disorders and open prescription drug abuse).

as for the movie.  i still enjoyed it.  the ending was somewhat altered which bugged me a little.  it still worked and all.  but i like the book ending better.  

meryl streep was wonderful.
anne hathaway was wonderful.
stanley tucci was EXCELLENT.  
and man - the guy who played nate has a gorgeous set of eyes.  

i don't recommend seeing the movie at a theater attached to a mall.  you leave with serious shoe and clothing envy.  and it kinda makes you want to shop.  and be skinny.  and be rich.  cause the clothes in the movie only look good on skinny people.  that cute little chanel dress would only look frumpy on me.

did anyone else know that the theater at the galleria serves beer???

Ronnie's in south county offers beer as well. The fries are the best deal in the theatre.
