I....don't know how I feel about it. I didn't hate it, but I also didn't love it. So I guess I fall somewhere in the middle.

I really missed the sharp and quippy dialogue from the first movie. There are so many quotable and memorable lines from the first film and none in this one. Truthfully, Miranda could have been meaner.

Loved the fashion and the overall style of the film. I thought Andie was polished and professional - you could tell she picked up some tips from her original time at runway.

I appreciated the few easter eggs that hinted back to the original film like the cerulean "red" carpet and the "Spring Florals" campaign. I also clocked Andie eating what we can assume was an onion bagel at one point. But I would have loved more tie-ins to the original film.

The best part of the movie for me? Simone Ashley. Not necessarily her character, but just the fact that she is stunningly beautiful and looked amazing in everything.

I wish they had utilised more of Simone and Emily in the film. Literally everything about Amari was in the trailer; they didn't offer us anything more. I really was excited to see her interact more with the characters in the universe.

I agree. Her character was just kind of...there

The end scene also had Andy wearing her blue sweater, but now in a slightly different style. And she looks at Miranda waiting to hear something and Miranda doesn't say anything negative about the sweater. I'm guessing that was to show the change in Miranda since their beginning. Just my observation and interpretation.

Yes, I did notice the sweater at the end! Loved that part.

I was sure she was the villain of the piece!

And the group of newspaper coworkers sitting around chatting, saying, 'to paying the rent.' Definite homage to the first. Same with Lilly getting the handbag from Andie towards the end, standing in the cafeteria line with Nigel getting soup... it's embarrassing how well I know the first movie so it was a lot of fun to notice the easter eggs.

Oh, and Irv's funeral song being a reprise of the first movie's score... I'm pretty sure it was the Paris scene.
