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.

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.

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.

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.
