Trends Reviews and Recaps

Snippets from a couple of the early reviews of The Devil Wears Prada [Warning: sound.], which opens Friday and stars Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway.

From "Devil's Delicious, Misses Hepburn," by Rex Reed in the New York Observer:

[T]the first classy, elegant and really entertaining film of 2006. [...]

Ms. Streep is a triumph of her own making.

From "Gods and Monsters," by David Edelstein in New York:

If there’s any drama here, it's slender -- maybe a size 2. [...]

For all the movie's dopiness, the director, David Frankel, knows how to accessorize. [...]

Streep . . . gives a fabulous minimalist performance.

One mostly gushing, the other, not so much.
