Andy Sachs says that "I learned a lot" while she worked as an assistant to Miranda Priestly . Beside work practice, she learns that her inner self can't be changed by glamour. She's ambitious, intelligent, working hard and she also surprised me that she always manages to have a smile even in very difficult times. She proves herself that can reach the stars in one year but that means...losing friendships, humor and a boyfriend. She doesn't like to quit but control the adversities. I was enchanted by her from beginning to end. This movie isn't a comedy with gags but I smiled a lot. I think it is the best movie of 2006.
Frustrated with her demanding and unreasonable boss, Andy seeks advice from Nigel ,who helps her transform into something that Miranda could take more seriously. It works. As Andy's confidence improves, her ambition to win Miranda's trust and approval becomes stronger. She starts to cater to Miranda's every need, ridiculous schedule and demand at the expense of her own personal life, jeopardizing her relationship with beau, Nate . Before she knows it, she's becoming more and more like Miranda.
