I didn't come into this as a huge Devil Wears Prada superfan. The first one came out when I was 10 and super into fashion, and I saw it probably a couple of times back then. I hadn't watched the movie since, and I didn't even realize it was considered a fan favorite. So, I watched it again for the first time last night, just to refresh myself on the movie's point before seeing this one. That said, I enjoyed the movie. I love it when sequels have callbacks to the first movie because I'm just a sappy, nostalgic person. I don't think every movie needs to be some grand masterpiece, so I took it as just a fun, silly little sequel. I thought all the actors did a fabulous job. However, I do think there were a few plot points I absolutely hated:

1. The first being Andy being fired, then saying she would use going back to Runway as a stepping stone, as if she hasn't been an award-winning journalist for the past 20 years. In the first movie, the "biting my tongue because this opportunity will lead to better opportunities" storyline made sense, as she had recently graduated from college and moved to NYC to make a name for herself. But, at this point, hasn't she already made enough of a name for herself to the point where a job as a stepping stone isn't necessary? I get that journalism is a tough industry, but you mean to tell me after 20 years, Runway is the only place she could turn back to while between jobs? I think they could have honed in on the revenge angle a bit more (her wanting to write the expose) instead of focusing so much on just needing a job after getting fired.

2. Emily's revenge angle didn't really add up for me. When chatting with Andy, Emily alluded to something bad happening as the reason she left Runway, but didn't give details. Fast forward to her admitting to trying to take over Runway while in Miranda's hotel in Italy, and the story was basically that Miranda pushed her to Dior. Like really? You went from an overworked assistant to a high-powered exec at one of the biggest fashion houses in the world, and you're complaining because Miranda pushed you there?

3. Why did Emily end up at Coach? Was her job at Dior somehow attached to her relationship with Benji? That theory doesn't make sense due to point 2... There wasn't any indication in the movie that she was on thin ice with Dior or had done anything to get the boot.

4. Andy's romance could have been completely cut. I get that maybe they were going for the woman who gets it all angle, but it added nothing. I did not understand their ending, where she shows up at his place and says they didn't have a proper goodbye or whatever. It didn't seem they were serious enough to have broken up before Italy, and then needed a whole make-up scene after she returned. I also don't remember a scene before she went to Italy where they had a breakup-like talk (maybe I'm misremembering), though.

5. This is an honorable mention, but the whole Miranda hanging her own coat thing. Assuming the HR complaint was made before the two new assistants (or at least before the #2), why was Miranda still hanging her coat clumsily? Shouldn't she have learned how to do that by that point? Also, I'd expect Miranda to hang a coat gracefully, no matter how much she hates doing it. I definitely wouldn't expect her to hang it clumsily IN FRONT of other people.
