Our take on The Devil Wears Prada

David Frankel's 2006 comedy-drama follows a young Midwesterner who moves to New York hoping to become a writer and instead lands as assistant to the tyrannical, larger-than-life editor-in-chief of a major fashion magazine. The setup lets the film skewer the glamour and cruelty of the industry while tracing how ambition slowly reshapes its heroine. It balances sharp comedy with quieter questions about the cost of success, and it suits viewers who enjoy workplace stories built around a formidable central boss and a young protagonist finding her footing. If you want a stylish, briskly written character comedy with real bite beneath the surface polish, this delivers on both.
