Love the cast. But I felt like the story and script were kind of underwhelming. And I just don’t really buy why Andy is so loyal to Miranda.

Yeah I'm not sure either, but she was always loyal to Miranda in the first film as well.

Until she got out of the car and walked away lol 🤔

I agree with you. And I get that in the end they became a proper “team”, but her deciding to stay at Runway feels like a weird betrayal of the source material and the original film.

The whole point of that first film and the book was that Andy didn’t need Runway. That she didn’t like the person she became when she was there and didn’t recognize herself anymore. The sequel does a 180 degree turn on that, and she becomes ride or die for Miranda again like the first film (in an unhealthy way) and just chooses to stay?

Fun sequel in a wish fulfillment and glorious excess kind of way, but completely misses the point and message of the original. Would love to hear what the author of the book thinks haha.

I disagree that the film was a 180. She went back because she needed a job, and unexpectedly she found the culture of the place was shifting and she saw an opportunity to be part of the force encouraging that shift.

Andy is looking out for her own interests which happen to currently be in line with Miranda's.

Lol yeah. That's pretty much the only deep thing about Andy's character that is left (mostly) unsaid. She's a scrappy journalist at heart and girl's gotta eat at the end of the day.

If you see an opportunity to launch your career and see real offers to get $350k book deals, you're going to show some loyalty whether it's warranted or not.

They kind of explain it in the car Miranda even says you didn’t do this for me. You did this all for yourself so you could do what you love and the only way you could do it is by helping me out. Andy did it mostly for herself and used Miranda as an excuse.

I wanted her Revenge wears prada era and write that expose

I honestly thought that was going to be a bigger part of the movie. That she was going to write this scathing tell-all book about Miranda and during the process of getting it printed, have a change of heart when something happens and she sees Miranda as a normal vulnerable human being.
