The Devil Wears Prada Sequel: Nostalgia Meets New York Fashion

0:00On April 29th, the devil wears Prada, two hits theaters this weekend, almost 20 years after the original comedy blew up. Meryl Streep reprises her icy editor Miranda Priestly, with Anne Hathaway back as Andy Sachs, Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton, and Stanley Tucci as Nigel Kipling. Directed by David Frankl, same guy from the first one, it dives into New York fashion chaos. The story picks up with runway magazine struggling against digital media shifts. Andy returns to her old boss's world, and Emily, now running a cash rich luxury brand, steps in to help save the day. They added fresh faces like Justin DeRoe, Lucy Liu, and Kenneth Branagh to the mix, plus a few holdovers from the original. Critics are split, but mostly positive so far, landing a 76% fresh score on rotten tomatoes from 66 reviews. That's right in line with the original 75% from nearly 200 reviews. Fans remember the first film's sharp take on Fashion Hill, and this one tackles print, versus online battles.

1:05Early reviews praised the style and star power, but some knock it for weak character arcs and feeling like a glossy retread. One critic called it stylish horror for journalists. Another flat champagne, despite the dazzle from Hathaway and Blunt. Audience scores are still rolling in. With PG-13 rating and Thursday previews underway, expect big crowds chasing the nostalgia high. If it clicks like the first, runway might just strut into another win.
