""Remind me, are we critiquing conspicuous displays of wealth or endorsing them? You could get whiplash trying to figure out where this movie stands on ostentatious luxury.""
""The chicest outfits still complement the most outrageous of clichés. Nostalgia for the days of standards and bullet-stopping September issues mixes with handwringing over the state of magazines, media outlets, and the overall environment that sold the original Devil Wears Prada as a fairy tale.""
""Maybe that's why this new movie - in which billionaires, to paraphrase fellow Fox property Homer Simpson, are the cause of and solution to most of life's problems - winds up feeling like even more of a fairy tale than the original.""
The Devil Wears Prada 2 addresses the decline of journalism amid a techno-oligarchy and the allure of fashion. Anne Hathaway's character, Andy Sachs, returns to Runway after being laid off, aiming to restore credibility to the magazine. The film features familiar characters like Miranda Priestly and Nigel Kipling, but critics find it lacks enthusiasm. The film's mixed messages about wealth and nostalgia for past journalism standards leave audiences questioning its true intentions. Despite its fairy tale elements, it is expected to perform well at the box office.
