It raked in $124.7 million at the US box-office on a budget of $35 million. Meryl Streep has been Golden Globe nommed, with Oscar nods sure to follow. Really, David Frankel’s adap of Lauren Weisberger’s best-selling novel couldn’t have gone more smoothly. The Devil Wears Prada is a classic fish-out-of-water story: a young woman in New York (Anne Hathaway, cast slightly improbably as the frump) being thrown to the sharks when she becomes assistant to fashion dragon and Runway magazine editor Miranda Priestly (Streep).

It’s all rather skin-deep, but this display of glitz and razzmatazz is ideally suited to the industry being lampooned. Performance wise – despite the excellent Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt – it’s Meryl’s show; something Frankel confirms in the deleted scenes as he admits cutting footage to gift the Oscar-winner more screen time. “She is Meryl Streep, after all,” he says. Although not fantastically exciting, there’s a wealth of extras here: from featurettes such as the self-explanatory The Trip To The Big Screen to an interview with the film’s costume designer Patricia Field and an all-too-short Boss From Hell item where New Yorkers are vox-popped about their bad overseers.

There’s a rather self-conscious gag reel too, while the commentary is somewhat spoilt by two many cooks in the kitchen – producer, director, writer, editor, costume designer and director of photography (phew!) – and rather too much emphasis, once again, on costume designer Field and her array of fabulous clobber. Something Lounge readers are certain to feel terribly excited about.
