"The Devil Wears Prada," hits theaters today, just in time for the holiday weekend. Although for teens and college students, every summer weekend is a holiday, right? The question is, can the movie based on the book written by Lauren Weisberger, be hit among young women. The critics certainly think so. If you check out Yahoo's Movie section, critics give the film high marks. This could also be somewhat of a coming out for Anne Hathaway, a resident of my home state. Adrian Grenier, the star of HBO's breakout hit "Entourage" plays Hathaway's boyfriend in Devil. I am not really sure how the film will fare with the younger crowd though, to be perfectly honest. When the book was out and popular with twentysomething and thirtysomething women, the truth is that it didn't even show up on our radar for books college women were purchasing and reading. However, you can't always judge the success of a movie based on the way the book performed at the cash register, especially among this generation. So, what do you think? Is it going to be a hit, a miss, or something in the middle?
