The Devil Wears Prada/YMMV

YMMV on the movie.

 * Crowning Moment of Awesome:
 * In an early scene, after Andy snickers at something said during a meeting, Miranda proceeds to lay a verbal smackdown on her, during which she dissects her character and details the impact of the fashion industry to make the point that Andy shouldn't consider herself above fashion.
 * Family-Unfriendly Aesop: Specifically, Ambition Is Evil. A popular criticism of the movie is that Andy is painted as having gone over to the dark side for having somewhat less time to spend with her boyfriend, family and friends, who are all constantly giving her shit for having a job they don't approve of and implying that she's probably bad at it anyway since they never knew her to be interested in fashion. And in spite of taking this approach, it also passes on the chance to do a Beautiful All Along -- Andy gives away most of her designer stuff at the end, but she remains the thinner, sleek-haired, flatteringly-made-up, well-dressed woman she learned to be working at Runway.
 * It is also worth noting that a key part of Andy's arc has to do with her relationship with her boyfriend, which gets rocky because he doesn't like the ways her job is "changing her" (it doesn't make sense in context either), or that she works such long hours. At one point we see Miranda and her husband arguing bitterly, evidently for similar reasons; and at the end of the film . The take-home message is that women who want to have good relationships with men need to be willing to make sacrifices with regard to their careers. Gross!
 * An Aesop: "Don't become someone you're not just to advance your career, particularly in a 'dog-eat-dog' environment."
 * Hollywood Homely: This movie tries to pass off Anne Hathawaya s unattractive at the beginning, though it may have had more to do with her girl-next-door look and low-budget college wardrobe.
 * Actually, no, she wasn't meant to be unattractive. Meryl Streep and scriptwriter Aline Brosh Mc Kenna have both said in interviews that this was intended as a comment on the ridiculous standards of the fashion industry. Anne is visibly not overweight at the beginning of the film, and is still called 'fat' by Nigel and Miranda, and universally mocked for her clothes.
 * In one interview Anne even goes on to defend Andy's wardrobe as she wore similar style herself when she was in/freshly out of college.
 * Magnificent Bitch: Miranda Priestly is maybe the film example of the decade.
 * The Woobie: Emily isn't the nicest person, but she certainly doesn't deserve the screw job she gets from the universe.

YMMV on the band.

 * Better Than It Sounds
 * Complaining About Music You Don't Listen To: People are pretty quick to reject them altogether because their religious leanings, the fact that they are a Metalcore band (and metalcore is a bit of a touchy topic with "metal purists"), and/or their "scene" roots.
 * Hate Dumb
 * Ugly Cute: Mike Hranica is either this, or straight-up Mr. Fanservice.
