Review: The Devil Wears Prada 2: Media Crisis Sequel That Delivers Big!

The Devil Wears Prada 2 a sequel which satisfied the viewers with a great storyline which matched the ongoing crisis in the Industry. It feels real and keeps you hooked from start to end. #AnneHathaway as Andy Sachs shines again.

The film opens with Andy (Anne Hathaway) and her entire newsroom staff being fired via text message just moments before she is set to receive a prestigious journalism award. Everyone is shocked. Rather than giving a polite “thank you” speech, Andy uses the stage to deliver a scathing “protest” against the state of the industry. She calls out how bosses prioritize profits and clicks over the human cost of quality reporting. Her words hit hard and go viral.

The film finds Miranda Priestly (#MerylStreep) and Runway magazine in trouble as print media is coming to dead. Readers are moving online fast. The Board of Directors puts pressure on her and decides to hire Andy as Digital Editorial Director to save Runway by posting correct article pieces which could attract more attention from the readers. But again there was the same loop happening with Andy which means Miranda not appreciating her enough. Andy doesn’t stop there. She tries to make everything right, handles tough bosses, writes hit stories, and fights to save Runway. Nigel (#StanleyTucci) also plays a very important role with his experience and help. Emily (#EmilyBlunt) also shines in her own role with sharp comments and growth.

The movie feels similar to Emily In Paris in which Emily ruins and also starts fixing everything for Sylvie. The plot revolves around how the Runway team saves the magazine from crisis. There are tense moments, funny clashes, and smart ideas. The cinematography and the story align very well with the climax and keep you engaged throughout the movie!
