I read the book while travelling to Convention and my daughter just finished the book an hour before SHE went to see the movie with friends (after several "Are you sure it's ok if I go with my friends because I thought we would see this together???")

Her 12 year old opinion was that the movie ends very differently(she didn't tell me the new ending), some character names were changed (Alex was Nate? What's up with that?), there were some plot differences and Miranda was much nicer in the movie,but both the book and the movie were equally good.

She's very correct about the plot differences (i.e. Lily's character) and the ending. It was anticlimactic at best. The ending has you feeling sad for Miranda. Still very enjoyable movie.

Meryl Streep made a wonderful Miranda. I can't imagine anyone else having done the role its justice.

I guess I need to go out and buy the book (don't have me check things out from the library, I have books in my apartment that I checked out in March). I thought the movie was good, but if the book was really different with more plot points, than I wanna read it.

Xylochick216 & SATX*APhi: Could one of you please pm me and tell me the difference between the movie and book version of In Her Shoes. I own the movie and I love the movie, but I haven't read the book and I'm dying to know the differences that y'all are talking about.

I just saw this with my mom. We both read the book and liked the movie much better. I didn't think the changes they made were too bad and the cast was perfect! Loved the wardrobe!

What did they do with Lily's character? I thought she was pretty important as the final bridge between the real Andy and the Runway Andy.

I don't like how they have her going to Northwestern in the movie.:mad:

Saw the movie this afternoon. It was a very good way to pass the afternoon. I definitely liked the book better though. Meryl Streep was perfect for the part.

She was no longer an alcoholic on the road to getting her PhD.:(

I saw it on Friday and enjoyed it. I read the book over a year ago and I liked the movie better.

I saw the movie yesterday, and while I thought it wasn't bad, I definitely prefer the book :)

Saw the movie and read the book. I didn't really like the way the movie ended and prefered the book ending. I also didn't like how Lily had a much smaller role. Wasn't SHE the one who was supposed to get into an accident and not Emily? Emily got mono in the book!

I loved the book! I also read her other book "Everyone Worth Knowing". If you like "The Devil Wears Prada" then you'll like this one. This one is about a girl who gets a job with a PR company in New York and basically her job is to organize parties and make sure she is seen at them. He personal life is invaded by the papparazzi when she is "seen dating" New York's "It Man".

I can't wait to see "The Devil Wears Prada" movie.

I liked her other book as well. :)
@ TauAlumna, yeah in the book Lily and Andy lived together, Lily was working on her PhD in Russian, had a pretty severe drinking problem, had the car accident that really prompted Andy to realize her priorities and such, etc.

Saw it last night with the husband who actually enjoyed it.

Their offices are in the building that hubby and I used to work in together!

As I watched some of the ridiculous things that the boss wanted, I thought, memories....I've had 2 bosses like her and the things they think they should get are obscene.

Question - in all the commercials they showed the Meryl line about "where's my coffee" with the ending - "did she go to Rwanda for the beans or something?". In the movie she said "did she die or something?". I thought the Rwanda line was a lot funnier, but maybe they were trying to be pc or something. Regardless, why would they constantly show advertisements with a line they cut? :confused:

In case you didn't know, Lauren Weisberger is a sorority woman. More specifically, she's an AEPhi from Cornell!

She's also a great writer! I just finished the book and really enjoyed it.

I started to read the book but could not finish it -- too girly for me! But I LOVED the movie! Soooo good! I left in such a good mood.

the movie was okay, though a definite chick flick.

I saw the movie on Tuesday. While I enjoyed the movie, I was really disappointed they changed some of the story. There was no reason for her boyfriend to be turned into a chef from a school teacher. I hate the ending too. I was waiting for Andy to tell of her boss and she just walked away. I wish I hadn't read the book before seeing the movie as I wouldn't have been so disappointed.

Love going to the movies in Florida during the summer!
 

We had a girls night out tonite, my mom 2 sisters & I. Got kids packs for our movie going refreshments. 20minutes into the movie, the lights flicker. Then the screen goes blank & the lighting in the theatre is obviously emergency lights. We waited a while till an AMC employee came in & said the lights & the movie would be on in 15minutes. 10minutes later another guy comes in to tell us the bad news. Lights out in the entire theatre & no chance of them going back on tonight. Refunds tho for our tickets.

I saw A Devil Wears Prada this weekend and enjoyed it so much! It was hilarious to me (well some parts).

I just finished the book...it wasn't bad, but with you all saying how they changed it, I will most likely wait until it's on HBO to see the movie now. The end (as you all are describing it) sounds far more anticlimactic than the book.

I watched the movie a few weeks ago.

I have not read the book, but got the spoilers from Wikipedia. I do not like one major change they did that is just in the movie. There was no need to degrade Andrea by having her engage in that. I am being vague for those who have not watched it, but it was not really necessary.

I didn't read the book but i loved the movie! thought it was GREAT!
