An experienced lothario schools a clueless collection of would-be Romeos in the art of seducing women who typically wouldn't give them the time of day. Smooth-talking Philippe knows all the right words to talk a woman straight into the bedroom, and he's ready to share his secrets of seduction with the world. Though his students may seem hopeless, Philippe is confident he can shape them into seasoned ladykillers. But is Philippe truly the master womanizer he presents himself to be? As Philippe relays his wisdom to his rapt male students while discovering that all women aren't created equal, real-life N.Y.C. street interviews reveal just how frustrating and complex modern romance can truly be. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

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, All Movie Guide
