The Devil Wears Prada 2 2026
I enjoyed the first movie, but haven't seen it in a long time, maybe even 20 years ago when it came out. This is a similar formula to that one but with Anne Hathaway's character more seasoned and confident, and Meryl Streep's character more constrained by the rules and laws of the modern workplace and struggling a little. Naturally, a leading fashion magazine isn't what it used to be anymore, so there is that struggle too, though it is mostly glossed over as it is just understood that now it is more of a website. It would have been too easy to just rehash the old plot or come up with something very derivative, but they do a good job of bringing in some fresh faces while also honoring the past stars. And those original characters are quite rich, with Streep again just inhabiting this character perfectly and Stanley Tucci as this solid number two who also has Hathaway's back. It is a solid movie and fun to watch, with some nice twists and turns as well as all kinds of cameos. Hathaway's character probably still isn't that realistic and her love interest again is a little underwhelming because that isn't what the movie is about.
