Summary
A smart but unpolished college graduate lands a coveted job as junior assistant to Miranda Priestly, the ruthlessly demanding editor-in-chief of a top New York fashion magazine. As she navigates impossible demands and a glamorous makeover, she finds her career ambitions increasingly at odds with her relationships and sense of self.
Released in 2006, The Devil Wears Prada is a comedy and drama film. Inside comedy it is classed as Dramedy.
The cohort it is ranked inside is 2000s films — 7,847 of them. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 30,263 of whom clear the calibration test. The calibrated figure is built from 712 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 736 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where The Devil Wears Prada lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2000s (7,847 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 712.
