Lauren Weisberger's best-selling novel about a young woman who stumbles into the hectic worlds of high fashion and publishing comes to the big screen in this comedy. Andrea "Andy" Sachs (Anne Hathaway) is a bright young woman from the Midwest who has just graduated from college and wants to work as a magazine writer. Andy has applied for a job at "Runway," America's most prestigious fashion journal; though Andy has little to no interest in the garment trade, they are one of the only magazines in New York with a job opening -- second assistant to editor Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep). As Andy quickly learns, Miranda is a diva with plenty of power within the magazine business and she isn't afraid to use it, and though Andy lands the job (primarily by being in the right place at the right time), she soon learns that working for Miranda could test the patience of a saint thanks to her endless demands and refusal to acknowledge the end of a work day. 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 Devil Wears Prada also stars Stanley Tucci, Emily Blunt, and Adrian Grenier. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A.D.A. Serena Southerlyn (Elisabeth Rohm) courageously puts her life on the line, and may be disbarred as a consequence. It all begins during a hostage crisis, in which a suspected murderer agrees to release his captive if he is allowed to speak to an attorney. Serena volunteers for this dangerous assignment, and in the course of events she is forced to make statements that might block prosecution of the perpetrator. As a result, she is subjected to the dreaded "Disciplinary Rule 1-102," which may very well cost Southerlyn her license to practice law. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
