The Devil Wears Prada 2 ( I hate the title) works only because all four of the original cast have returned to their original roles….its a clever reworking of the original with Hathaway in sudden need of a Runway job, 20 years after magazines have been made redundant and the internet is king. Miranda ( Streep) remains iconic in her role .Stanley Tucci remains pleasing as her 2nd in command and Anne Hathaway remains the fresh new girl trying to make the best of things , Emily Blunt ( now head of New York Dior ) has all the scene stealing lines and has proved herself a talented comedienne and the subtle non saccharine moments as all four bond in their own ways is so incredibly moving to watch , especially when Nigel finally said to Andy “ you’re forever my girl “ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It was lovely to go with my two sisters who missed the cinematic Easter eggs
The constant cerulean references to Streep’s iconic speech in the first movie were great fun to pick out and on the way home , we all laughed long and hard as Janet realised that she was actually looking for chocolate Easter eggs in the narrative …duh
I like Streep's expression in that first photo.
ReplyDeleteHer portrayal of Miranda is iconic
DeleteWe tried watching the first film, and both thought it was awful! I still don't see what everyone is raving about, but hey ho! Horses for courses. Glad you all enjoyed it, that's the main thing. xx
ReplyDeleteIt’s not a classic film, but it’s fun and classy
DeleteI was hoping to hear your opinion on this one. I really should go back and watch the first one again before I watch this one.
ReplyDeleteYes please do and look for the Easter eggs
DeleteFun with your sisters!
ReplyDeleteIt’s nice , just the three of us for a change
DeleteAny film with Streep and Tucci is worth seeing. I’m looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteHe doesn’t have a lot todo, but I liked his glasses
DeleteOK, good to know it was pleasing overall. Of course it can't be as good as the first, but at least it's not a bomb. We will probably go.
ReplyDeleteSequels can be just awful , but this one is just as good ( or bad) as the original
DeleteNot my cup of tea, wife enjoyed the first one though.
ReplyDeleteI think it’s not just a chick flick however I stand by my sex and the city connections
DeleteGood to know it was at least pleasing over all... as i plan on taking myself to see it this next week... Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteAnd it was interesting that most of the characters had trouble expressing affection lol
DeleteWas that written in the script or they had trouble acting the scene?
DeleteHave never seen any of these movies and only last week watched The Princess Diaries 1&2. Now it seems I need to watch each of the Prada movies. Thanks, John!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
They are frothy and forgettable but elevated by four wonderful actors

ReplyDeleteI have never seen part 2. I too would miss the Easter eggs.
ReplyDeleteNaw,,it wasn’t hard to spot them
Delete*part 1! Note to self: typing on a phone in a moving car doesn't work
ReplyDeleteOnce you know they are there, it’s fun looking for them , a bit like looking for Alfred Hitchcock in one of his films
DeleteSounds like a fun time for all concerned. And now you MUST buy your sister Janet some real chocolate easter eggs!
ReplyDeletelol she was so embarrassed when she realised that she had seen no in the movie
ReplyDeleteDid you explain the 'easter egg' reference beforehand?
ReplyDeleteNo, I presumed wrongly they knew about it
DeleteI love Meryl Streep. Her daughter said she is just like Miranda without the fashions.
ReplyDeleteBought the book when it first came out. About a third of the way through and she still hadn't met the boss. Got bored and gave it to charity. Silly title too.
