The dishy new comedy "The Devil Wears Prada" is dressed to kill. Killer cast, killer clothes, killer laughs. And best of all, you don't have to know the difference between Donna Karan and Donna Summer to delight in the film's wicked workplace politics. Based on Lauren Weisberger's best-selling roman à clef about her adventures in the perfect-skin trade as a lowly assistant to Vogue magazine's Anna Wintour, David Frankel's ("Entourage," "Sex and the City" ) movie is as crisp as a starched white shirt, as clever as the perfect pair of Jimmy Choos, and as self-confident as a supermodel.
