The Devil Wears Prada (2006) - David Frankel 

Sometimes it seems as if any time Meryl Streep appears on screen she'll get an Oscar nomination. I believe this was her record 13th time up for an award and the recognition is not without merit. The story is ultra obvious at parts and I'm not sure if the conclusion is really where I wanted it to go. Entertaining by most counts and full of a bunch of characters I can't remotely relate to. There is a desire to be iconographic here that occasionally pays off, the costume design pretty well warranted an Oscar nomination as well. Anne Hathaway got naturally swamped amidst Streep praise who although over the top still seems supporting to me. Not to say Hathaway delivered a better performance, or even a particularly good one for that matter. The supporting cast however holds their own but I feel like this film could have been so much more. 

*The Devil Wears Prada was nominated for best actress (Streep) and best costume design.
