Devil Wears Prada
by Lauren Weisberger
Mentioned once across 1 show · first heard May 2026 on Pardon My Take.
The general take
PFT Commenter said he caught Devil Wears Prada and came away impressed with Anne Hathaway's performance, saying she's "very good" in it and that he regrets previously criticizing her. He seems to view it as a solid movie that changed his mind about Hathaway as an actress.
About
A delightfully dishy novel about the all-time most impossible boss in the history of impossible bosses. Andrea Sachs, a small-town girl fresh out of college, lands the job “a million girls would die for.” Hired as the assistant to Miranda Priestly, the high-profile, fabulously successful editor of Runway magazine, Andrea finds herself in an office that shouts Prada! Armani! Versace! at every turn, a world populated by impossibly thin, heart-wrenchingly stylish women and beautiful men clad in fine-ribbed turtlenecks and tight leather pants that show off their lifelong dedication to the gym. With breathtaking ease, Miranda can turn each and every one of these hip sophisticates into a scared, whimpering child. THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA gives a rich and hilarious new meaning to complaints about “The Boss from Hell.”

…casual mention of movie watched during road trip
“Oh, by the way, I saw Devil Wears Prada. I'm kind of back in on Anne Hathaway. Anyway, I regret talking shit about her. She's very good in that movie. There's your own Hathaway update.”
