What You Need To Know:

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2 is the sequel to the very successful movie THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, though the fashion is fantastic, overall, this movie does not have as much charm and direction as the first. Andy Sachs, played by Anne Hathaway, just received a journalism award, but right before her speech, she learns she has been fired. Her speech goes viral as she talks about journalists being fired and AI taking over. Meanwhile, Runway magazine needs a revamp, and several hit pieces have been published about the magazine and its editor, Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep. The magazine’s owner, Irv, sees Andy’s viral video and decides to hire her to help Runway. Will Andy and Miranda be able to work together?

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2 has a mixed worldview. The main character in the movie has a moral worldview, thinking of others, and being empathetic. At the same time, Meryl Streep’s character has a humanistic approach. Certainly, the best part of THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2 is the fabulous fashion.

More Detail:

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2 is the sequel to the very successful movie THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA. Though the fashion is fantastic, overall, this movie lacks the charm and direction of the first. THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA has a mixed worldview and does have some positive elements of doing things for the benefit of others, but with some humanist commentary.

Andy Sachs, played by Anne Hathaway, just received a journalism award, but right before her speech, she learns she has been fired. Her speech goes viral as she talks about how journalists are being fired, and AI is taking over. Meanwhile, Runway magazine needs a revamp, and several hit pieces have been published about the magazine and its editor, Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep. The magazine’s owner, Irv, sees Andy’s viral video and decides to hire her to help Runway.

When Andy walks in to say hi to Miranda, remembering the years she was an assistant to her, Miranda pretends not to remember Andy. In fact, Miranda wants to give Andy a hard time for her being hired by Irv and taking over the features department.

Andy is trying to figure out how to navigate the fashion world once again. Of course, her old friend at the magazine, Nigel, tries to help her with her style and outfits. The first thing Andy does is go with Miranda and Nigel to Dior to try to help keep them as clients who buy ads from the magazine. When they arrive, they see that Emily is now a key person at Dior. Andy knows Emily because they both worked for Miranda as assistants years and years ago.

Will Andy be able to write articles that people read and bring views to the publication? Will Runway be saved from potential ownership changes or layoffs? Will there be backstabbing and people trying to get ahead at others’ expense?

Certainly, the best part of THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2 is the fabulous fashion. Every scene is a wonderful visual of beautiful clothing and styling. The movie lacks the charm of the first, has a weak plot, and no central storyline. Though this is the case, the casting is perfect, including Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci. Each character has their own depth and glamour.

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2 has a mixed worldview. The main character in the movie has a moral worldview, thinking of others, and being empathetic. While Meryl Streep’s character has a humanistic conversation in front of Da Vinci’s Last Supper. The conversation implied DaVinci believed Jesus was an imperfect human. Of course, this character, in general, is not seen as moral and is a bit of a villain at times. MOVIEGUIDE® advises caution for older children and teenagers.
