Who cares what the devil wears?
Meryl Streep plays the role of the fiendish one and that’s all anybody needs to know about The Devil Wears Prada, now showing all over town. Stanley Tucci is the other standout actor in this picture. He and Streep breathed life into characters that could have been mere caricatures. It’s on three screens at the Metropolitan South and the draw was good today. Surprisingly, nearly half the audience was of the male persuasion. I liked the City views, including the quick peek at the King Cole Bar, a don’t-miss watering hole. My favorite line went something along the lines of “So I make port-wine reductions every night of the week. That’s not exactly like being in the Peace Corps.” There are points for the realistic depiction of a dwelling-place of people who must earn their own livings. The Metro South now makes room for a wonderful vending machine stocked with Blue Bell frozen treats.
