Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt are brought back to do a sequel to a film people liked 20 years ago about fashion.
So the writer of this piece went to a screening of the first film before seeing this in order to try and understand the complex plot of this sequel.
However, the first thing that becomes readily apparent is this film does not know what it is in 2026. It wants to sanitise the original and make it more PC but at the same time it loses a lot of what made the first film work. It produces a film that feels uncomfortable in its own skin.
There are aspects of this sanitisation that outrightly hurt the film such as Andy’s new assistant who some view as a racist stereotype of Asian people. This didn’t come across that way during our showing of the film, and Jin was actually was one of the more promising new characters.
There was also a lot of diversity in the models used and there were a number of large models in the film, this was a groan worthy modern dayism.
Overall, a confused and soulless sequel.
2/5
Pros.
Jin and Emily are standouts
It has a few funny moments
Cons
It is needlessly pc
It doesn’t need to exist
It wastes Anne Hathaway
