Devil Wears Prada 2

[garlictwist]

I was so looking forward to this and it did not disappoint. Good nods to the original, genuinely funny and no one looks a day older (how?). Anyone else?

Me and the DDs saw it this afternoon. Perfect Sunday afternoon viewing. I had low expectations so rather enjoyed it. I agree about the pointless Andy romance storyline. I didn’t spot Naomi C either. It’s was entertaining froth and I liked all the nod’s to the first film especially Andy’s last outfit. New York and Milan looked spectacular.

I thought it was ok, like 3 stars out of 5.
I got distracted by how young especially AH looked. She looked and acted like she was in her 20s and it was just a bit weird. I thought her character was just annoying and ruined the film.

@MariaMagdalenaa yes I agree. All that bright eyed innocent was fine in the first movie, but here she was meant to be in her early 40s and an experienced journalist. All that gawsh shucks capitalism sucks let me get this mahoosive apartment and wear designer clothes, was a bit tiresome. They could have let her character be slightly less irksome.

I enjoyed it and thought Anne Hathaway was fab as was Stanley tucci. I was less keen on modern day Miranda having lost her venom and seemingly confused about the modern world so you just feel abit sorry for her. Emily wasn’t quite as good either.

A nice throwback but as a stand alone film it would have panned.

Colin was the name of the dog.

I saw it tonight and generally enjoyed it. I thought there are some great lines, acting was solid, but the story needed more pathos and heart. It’s credible that Miranda would have mellowed a little over two decades, but in this she softened too much e.g the “Have I taken you for granted?” scene with Nigel, which was jump the shark territory.

I was distracted by the physical appearances of sone cast members. Justin Theroux looked almost unrecognisable and Anne and Emily looked no different from the first film. Stanley Tucci’s voice has changed - i couldn’t make out some of what he said.

Most of the costumes for the women were ghastly.

Disappointed Kenneth Branagh was hardly in this, but the film would have been a nice payday for him. Simone Ashley also underused.

Stanley Tucci had oral cancer a few years ago and the treatment affected his speech, I think.

I thoroughly enjoyed this, but it was definitely better on a second watch and whilst I never expected it to match up to the first one it has Lucy Liu to make up for it 😀

I did think all the men were dreadful apart from Nigel (and I also didn't spot Naomi Campbell even the second time!)

Agree, I thought it was really dull and I actually fell asleep for part of it! Disappointing

I think that was deliberate to show that while she still terrified people even she was forced to recognise that the world had changed. I think the scene where everything she was saying was being vetoed as unacceptable today was totally accurate. I did think just how much she struggled to hang up her own coat was a bit OTT.

I loved it. The characters are crazy enough to be funny but real enough to be relatable.

The first film was fantastic but ended with quite a harsh message, that Andy could choose to leave that world but she couldn’t change it. The second film shows that these characters have hearts even if they try not to show them.

Just saw it and found it really enjoyable

I've now seen it three times and still didn't spot Naomi Campbell, so I looked it up and it's her sitting next to Miranda at the Dolce & Gabbana show

I wondered if I wouldn't like it as generally I don't like sequels but I absolutely loved it. They all still look amazing too. Had a great night!

Loved the first one and watched this last night. It was very meh with lack of storyline. The amount of botox was awful and really put me off - Meryl Streep could barely speak and really had issues enunciating her words!
