She\u2019s mean to everyone, but her husband leaves her, so we\u2019re supposed to feel bad for her I guess. Not sure why.  Anne Hathaway plays Andrea "Andy" Sachs, a recent Northwestern grad who is just trying to break into the journalism biz by, ya know, not writing anything and instead becoming some evil weirdo\u2019s personal assistant. Because that\u2019s how that works.  In a career-igniting role, Emily Blunt plays Miranda Priestly\u2019s co-assistant Emily Charlton who is an enemy of Andy\u2019s and treats her like garbage the whole time, but we\u2019re somehow supposed to feel bad for her, too. Also not sure why.  Stanley Tucci plays the magazine\u2019s art director Nigel Kipling, who becomes the Fairy Godmother to Hathaway\u2019s Cinderella. That\u2019s when he\u2019s not constantly calling her fat and making her cry because she doesn\u2019t think high fashion is the most important thing in the entire world.  And of course, then there\u2019s Andy\u2019s awful, pretentious, annoying and whiny chef of a boyfriend\u2014played by Adrian Grenier of \u201cEntourage\u201d fame, who has proven how fictional that show was, because this dude is a horrible film actor that the likes of Scorsese would never cast. Join us as we try to figure out how women's clothes sizes work, discuss the dirty world of emu magazines, and try to get to the bottom of whether Madonna can actually sing or not.  Tell us what you think by chatting with us (@filmsnuff) on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, or by shooting us an email over at mailbag@filmsnuff.com.
