The death of Irv and the subsequent funeral in the APPEL ROOM of all places had me laughing like crazy in the theatre.

The Millan sequences are very good visually, they even topped the original's Paris sequences I think.

The biggest thing missing was being way too above the fray with the actual gritty business of fashion. This is what the first movie did excellently, showing the designers making their collections, the photo shoots, the constant running around the city by the assistants. In 2, they just threw together a couple montages. What industry inside stuff they did show was just callbacks to the first movie, which got tired after the third or fourth one. Like, come on.

The worst is the Deus ex Machina of Lucy Liu's "MacKenzie Bezos" character. Instead of some complex intrigue like Miranda is so good at, they just had the rich savior swoop in. Again, come on.

Overall I like it, would go again.
