Breakfast at Tiffany's look out; the next big fashion film has arrived. Devil Wears Prada is based on the successful book by Lauren Weisberger, a suggested roman-a-clef about the writer's experience working for Anna Wintour (Editor-in-Chief of American Vogue). The novel spent six months in the New York Times best seller list and has now been taken by director David Frankel and transformed into a moving picture masterpiece.

Andy (Hathaway) wants to be a professional journalist, she has the qualifications and now needs a foot in the door and that door is the office of Miranda Priestly (Streep). Miranda is head of Runway Magazine, an important fashion glossy and needs two assistants to keep her hectic life in order. She hires Andy even though she has no interest in fashion because she seems hard-working and determined. Miranda runs an extremely tight operation where there are no room for flaws, or as Andy puts it: "She is not happy unless everyone is panicked, nauseous or suicidal." Miranda pushes Andy's limits by asking for the impossible, such as the unpublished Harry Potter book within a few hours. Andy in an effort to impress her boss gets swept into the runway style of things, changing her clothes, lifestyle and personality to fit in. Her boyfriend and friends notice the change, but will she? And in turn, will she decide that it's worth exchanging her old dream and life for the job that every girl would kill for?

Who wouldn't kill to be Meryl Streep's prot�g�; with the Cruella de Ville persona, a fabulous wardrobe and sharp witty dialogue, she is indeed the highlight of the movie. Anna Hathaway beautifully portrays the uncoordinated geeky journalist, and however difficult it is to chew that someone as good looking as Anna is without grace, the fun of the film and the gifted script will roll the small errors right over your head.

For anyone that loves to shop, the clothes in this feature are simply divine and the selections they show are endless, it's like an interactive window shopping film. Girls will drool over the outfits and men will drool over the women, a company full of slim perfect looking models, and even if that doesn't get them going the ruthless attitude and faux-pas make for some outrageously funny moments.  When Andy first sits down and takes a message from a fashion company: "Uh huh sure� and how do you spell Gabbana?"

Although there is a lot of humour here, there is a lot of artistic quality to The Devil Wears Prada. With the help of director of photography Flourian Ballhaus (Gangs of New York, The Legend of Bagger Vance) the piece is equally driven by imagery as it is dialogue. Just like the outfits and the models, every shot in this piece is thought about: colours, transitions, how the actors would be feeling. Completing the creative team was director David Frankel who has previously worked on fast-paced TV series Entourage and fun and sassy Sex and the City.

This is not an action flick or a gritty film but a good story, wonderfully colourful characters, beautiful scenes and is definitely going to be one of the top films of the year.
