The hit 2006 comedy – which Freeform shows Wednesday, Sept. 13, and Thursday, Sept. 14 – is one of the most popular mentor-em- ployee tales yet told on the screen. Adapted from Lauren Weisberger's best seller by "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" writer-producer Aline Brosh McK- enna, the film boasts two of the most memorable performances to date in the careers of Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, who get very strong backing from an expert sup- porting cast. Hathaway plays Andy, an aspir- ing journalist who manages (despite her lack of knowledge of haute couture) to land a position as an assistant to New York-based fash- ion-magazine titan Miranda Priestly (Streep), who redefines "no-non- sense" as she displays zero patience with anyone she feels is wasting her time or attention. Still, she's somewhat amused by Andy, who displays plenty of ambition while being on turf that others would be better-suited to. Not entertained at all by the sit- uation is high-strung Emily (Emily Blunt), Miranda's main deputy, who is obsessed with keeping things run- ning smoothly for the demanding boss. She can't quite get over that Andy has been brought on board, and her determination to keep a tight rein on everything that hap- pens in the office eventually suffers a big setback that puts Andy in even more of a position to show what she can do. Smoothly directed by David Frankel, "The Devil Wears Prada" is as glossy as one would expect a story about its subject to be, and it makes points about love vs. career effective- ly without being too heavy-handed. The actors certainly help with that, and Streep's marvelously icy work is a particular asset, offsetting Hatha- way's vulnerable warmth in a way that's virtually demanded for the movie to work as well as it does. moviereview By Jay Bobbin Meryl Streep and Anne Hatha- way in "The Devil Wears Prada" "The Devil Wears Prada" still wears its humor well
