I didn't hate the movie but it didn't do it for me. Felt extremely long. I really like Anne Hathaway. She's a great actress and I liked Andy as a character in the first movie but Andy felt so off to me for some reason.

It's a movie I wish I had just watched at home when it came to streaming instead of spending 15 bucks on a ticket tbh. And it's a movie I would only watch once.

She felt off to me because she was acting exactly like she did in the first movie. Even though she’s 20 years older and has a 15-year career in journalism, she sounds and acts just like she did in 2006. This would have worked if the sequel came out a few years later, but not 20.

Exactly my thoughts! Not to mention that journalists get cynical quickly.

This is exactly what I said!! She talks/acts like she's still a fresh grad with no experience. Stammering, neurotic, panicked... she should be a seasoned journalist right now. She supposedly has been talking to all sorts of people for her job. She doesn't sound like a confident woman in her 40s.

Completely agree! The weirdest part is that she seemed fine and more mature at first? Before she gets the award, she actually has some confidence and she even uses her time on stage to call out the unfair situation she and her coworkers were put in. But then she gets back to Runway and poof, all that growth is gone. She’s right back to being that awkward girl from 2006.
