THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA: superstar Streep saves the day

Thank god for Meryl Streep!
She gives THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA more class than it deserves.
Without her marvelously monstrous portrayal of Miranda Priestly, longtime editor of the upmarket fashion magazine 'Runway' this would be just another unimaginative and predictable coming of age yarn wherein a naive young woman (Anne Hathaway) comes to the big city hoping to start her climb up the ladder of success, is forced to choose between career and lovelife, and discovers the price is ultimately not worth paying.
Streep's performance earned her a record 14th best actress Oscar nomination and it really is the only reason for sticking with this film.
