Lauren Weisberger’s best-selling novel about a young woman who stumbles into the hectic worlds of high fashion and publishing now gets an all-star treatment.
Andrea “Andy” Sachs (Hathaway, The Princess Diaries) is a bright young woman who has just graduated from college and wants to work as a writer. She has applied for a job at “Runway,” America’s most prestigious fashion journal. Though Andy has little to no interest in the garment trade, it is the only magazine in New York with a job opening. Her position is second assistant to the magazine’s ice-cool editor, Miranda Priestly (Streep, The Hours).
Once she lands the job, Andy quickly learns that Miranda is a diva with plenty of power and isn’t afraid to use. She also discovers that Miranda’s endless demands would test the patience of a saint. Andy struggles to hold on to the job – and her sanity – knowing that a recommendation from Miranda can open nearly any door at any magazine. But can she handle the pressure without losing her mind along the way?
“The film is delightful – what Sex and the City could have been with intelligence and real wit instead of rote bitchiness.” – Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
