The Devil Wears Prada 2 is so good!!!! Hilarious that we got a trailer with Anne Hathaway girl kissing before the movie, but alas. No actual girl kissing in the movie itself.
But beyond that, there was a phenomenal twist. The fashion was on point save for one or two pieces which had me like, hawhat?! The humor was great. They did a really fantastic job making a contemporary story about Runway and modern politics and how publishing works today. It was far more serious than the first movie, but that wasn't a bad thing.
Loved Andy's relationship with Nigel. That really shined. Even her relationship with Emily shined too. But I feel like I could have used more interactions between Andy and Miranda. Like, their relationship literally didn't grow at all. They're stuck in the same toxic boss/assistant roles from the first movie, even as equals now. Miranda won't ever allow herself to be equal to Andy. I just wish that they had been shown working side by side more than they did. They worked together once, and they didn't even show them actually working together! I just wanted more of them. And there was not a lot of them.
And they got almost the entire cast from the first movie. I was so happy to see so many of the old actors. Even small roles. It made me really happy. You could just tell from the top to the bottom of the production that everyone loved the first movie, and wanted to do right by it. And that they were all enjoying the fuck out of working together.
If you are here for shipping though. You will be disappointed, but there were a couple good scenes. The kitchen scene for one, was shipper heaven, lmao. And the car scene at the end. And just Andy's devotion in general. Andy does have a man, but he's so bland he may as well have not even existed. Honestly, I was never an Emily/Andy shipper before, and this movie had me wanting to ship them. I loved their interactions.
Please, go see it in theaters!! I doubt they will want to do a third, but I also feel like they left space for a third movie.
