Ah, corporate greed; can it be overcome? Should it be?

This is a fun little story. It is adapted from a book and adjusted with a few changes to the formula (very predictable), the story of corporate greed vs. individual morality. On this inner journey for the beauty of one’s soul, we are treated to an outward experience of the world of fashion. Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway), an aspiring writer, is hard up for a job and lands one as an assistant to Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep), a top fashion designer and feared, ruthless executive. Soon, Andy is sucked into a world that she had no idea existed. In the book, she is enticed by the perks of free stylish goodies. In the movie, she is slowly seduced by the devil (Miranda) herself. She is mentored and guided past the competition by Nigel (Stanley Tucci). Do you recognize Vivian West and Bill Ballast? How about the other vintage styles? Just as the styles will not distract from the movie, neither will the soundtrack, which does not try to compete with the dialogue; however, it does abruptly change the volume. Even if the story is a formula, the acting and actors make this a fun way to pass the time. So, gird your loins.
