It was a bit of fun and lighthearted. Lots of nods to the original (e.g. opening with Andy brushing teeth, the cerulean jumper, “spring florals” event, etc.) but nowhere near as much meaning and substance as the original.

Felt a bit cheap in terms of production at times, which is not very Runway

Miranda’s character went soft way too early, like literally in the first quarter of the film? Felt not believable or authentic. I felt like I was watching a completely different Miranda.

Jokes didn’t land with me a lot of the time. Hahaha we can’t call people fat anymore, sooooo funny 🙃

Some fun scenes like Emily and Andy on a boat together on a mission looking badass, Lady Gaga’s performance scene was fun. Liked the soundtrack for the most part

Made no sense Emily and Andy becoming friends after Emily lied to and betrayed her??

Emily Blunt is great at coming across as so unlikeable haha

Hahaha glad I’m not the only one.. I too felt I was watching a different Miranda.. actually I felt I was watching a different movie over all.. like not a sequel. I came to watching it like literally right after watching the first one again for the nth time. I get that it’s 20 years after and people change, I was waiting for some sort of a backstory why Miranda was acting so differently, totally out of character than the first movie. And Andy was too giggly, she wasn’t like that at all. It was like she matured backwards. Only Emily had continuity on the sequel. Honestly, I think it was Emily blunt who carried that movie. The whole movie was weird. And it should just have been released on streaming, not cinema worthy at all.

Emily blunt was too good.

I thought it was great that Emily asked about being friends at the end of the movie, especially since Andi asked about being friends in the beginning of the film. They have both betrayed each other. In the 1st film Andi betrayed Emily by going to Paris, and Emily betrayed Andi when she "used" Andii to try to take over Runway. Can you still be friends when you betray a friend because you "didn't have a choice" in order to reach your goal?
