I had some lag time yesterday, so I snuck over to the movie house to watch "The Devil Wears Prada." It must be its third week already here and the theater was not empty that afternoon, to its credit. It has some innovative camera-work.
The opening sequence of Anne Hathaway and other girls preparing to go to work looked great. The sequence of Hathaway wearing all these different designer clothes while weaving in and out of pedestrian traffic on the way to her office was also very nicely shot. Using Hathaway for this film made it feel like another Princess Diaries sequel at times, admittedly.
Meryl Streep, what can I say, another good performance, as usual. This character, she has done something like this before, hasn't she? It feels familiar...or have we simply watched her so many times?
Overall, not a waste of time. Obviously geared more for a female audience, who I am sure would love to have those dresses, bags and accessories for themselves.
