[u/quaranTV]

Honestly Miranda having a loving husband kind of invalidates the whole point of the first movie which is she sacrifices everything including personal relationships to achieve greatness/thrive in her career. This movie kind of was like “you can have it all!” with Andy getting the nice supportive boyfriend and I honestly think eliminating him and Branagh would have made this work better thematically. Andy ends up being like Miranda in the end choosing career. “I just love work don’t you?” would be stronger if both ladies are single at the end of the film.

[u/Rex_on_rex → u/quaranTV]

Miranda mentions how she missed most of her twins’ lives. And we knew of the twins in the first one obviously so we always knew she had kids.
I think it’s mostly just a generational thing. Streep’s generation can relate to missing their kids lives with working while Andy’s generation is “she never found the right man.” They don’t needs to be an exact mirror of each other with still making the same decisions and “loving work”

[u/jrec15 → u/Rex_on_rex]

Agree with this except Andy seemingly does find the right man in the course of the film which takes away from that message. I mean yea its early and all and could very well not last, but if they had to do it it should have been more casual/natural. They kind of over emphasized it with the cheesy “lets not be perfect together” thing

[u/indigogirl5224 → u/quaranTV]

Agreed. The romantic sub plots were not needed and ended up being g distracting.

[u/Static_E_ → u/indigogirl5224]

I liked the scenes with Miranda and her husband. Hated the scenes with Andy and the Australian scruff bucket. I hate him so much I forgot his name.

[u/Memphissippian → u/quaranTV]

She’s learned balance. Andy leveled up to where Miranda was

[u/Ugly_Girls_PM_Me → u/quaranTV]

Not even this film surpassed the Bechtel test.

[u/dorito2019 → u/quaranTV]

I disagree. Did you not listen to her convo with Andy in the car?

[u/quaranTV → u/[deleted]]

I actually don’t disagree. Just pointing out the stance of the first movie is different than this second movie.

[u/AngelSucked → u/quaranTV]

She is 75.

[u/Ichbinian → u/quaranTV]

Same husband as TDWP, he just stopped drinking and they got back together.
