The Devil Wears Prada 2

Late Tuesday afternoon, Sharon and I saw the Devil Wears Prada 2 at the CinemaWest Country Club Theater. We rewatched The Devil Wears Prada about two weeks ago.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is a comedy drama film directed by David Frankel and written by Aline Brosh McKenna. A sequel to the 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada, Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci reprise their roles. They are joined by Justin Theroux, Lucy Liu, and Kenneth Branagh.

Set two decades after the events of the first film, it follows Andy Sachs (Hathaway) as she helps Miranda Priestly (Streep) navigate a new media landscape and corporate threats to the survival of Runway magazine. We were glad that we had rewatched the original recently; the back stories from the first film were important.

I think that I enjoyed the film more than Sharon. There are a number of things about the plot that I enjoyed, including: the demise of print media and the corresponding shift to social media; a short segment with the management consultants describing how to fix the company; and the scenes filmed in Milan. We have been through Milan twice, but never really explored the city. I have added Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper to my list of Places to Travel. Sharon doesn't think that the film will garner any Oscar nominations...
