**This is a spoiler-free review so feel free to read on!**

“Looks like you need a job…”

The Devil Wears Prada 2 released in theaters on May 1st 2026. The sequel to the 2006 film stars Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Meryl Streep, Simone Ashley, Stanley Tucci and Lucy Liu. It runs for approximately two hours.

After an unexpected setback in her career, Andy Sachs is offered the chance to return to Runway for a new career opportunity where she is reunited with her former co-workers.

Here is the trailer:

The Devil Wears Prada 2 gives fans plenty of nostalgia while creating something new in the process with fun cameos and satisfying performances. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Great dynamic between the characters.

It’s been twenty years but our main characters haven’t missed a beat. I thought they channeled their original characters extremely well and adapted to their new situation with flair. I loved the banter between characters and thought everyone put on a great show.

The cameos were terrific and can I just say that Lucy Liu has not aged a day! Wow!

The fashion was on point, but honestly I expected nothing less here.

New and fresh while still bringing the nostalgia.

It’s not always easy delivering on a sequel of an iconic film set 20 years later. I’ve seen a lot of other movies fail in this department, but I thought that The Devil Wears Prada 2 managed to find its groove with its approach.

Everything worked seamlessly to keep the original vibe of the film going while still taking into account that a lot of time has passed since the first entry. The balance worked for me personally.

The Cons:

A touch too long.

The pacing was fine overall. I thought a few of the story-lines seemed a little forced without enough time to flesh them out, but nothing felt too dragged out.

That being said, I think this movie should have been about an hour and forty minutes tops.

Things were a little cheesy and predictable, but everything was very entertaining nonetheless.

I thoroughly enjoyed my watch.

So am I in or out?

My performance of the week ending 11/23/19 on TV goes to…

The cast of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia!

After just finishing up my watch of season 14, I have to give it up to:  Charlie Day, Glenn Howerton, Rob McElhenney, Kaitlin Olson, and Danny DeVito. 

I was slightly worried that the new season might be a little bit stale, but the cast continued to keep things fresh, while we laughed our asses off.

I really enjoyed how the show used some fan-favorite nostalgia by bringing back some old characters and making references to past episodes, but they didn’t hit you over the head with them and that’s why they worked so effectively.

They always did something new and unique with the nostalgia, which really kept the entertainment going.  You never felt like they were just simply recycling old episodes, as things continued to take unexpected turns along the way.

I never get tired of watching this cast and you almost start to think that you are really part of the gang, as you witness each adventure.  The laser tag season 14 finale was done so brilliantly and it is probably one of my favorite season finales of the entire show.

Overall, season 14 had some highs and lows, but the gang kept my undivided attention and even surprised me with some new plots that were so fun and outrageous.

Stand out episodes for me include:  The Gang Chokes (season 14, episode 4), The Janitor Always Mops Twice (season 14, episode 6), The Gang Solves Global Warming (season 14, episode 7), and Waiting for Big Mo (season 14, episode 10).

From a fun take on film noir to a laser tag game with the theme from The Shining playing, you can’t go wrong in season 14!

What’s next for the gang?  We’ll have to wait and see, but I am always ready for some more crazy adventures from the gang.  You have to wonder how much longer this show will last, but it is still managing to provide us with laugh out loud entertainment each season and it is my absolute favorite comedy on television!

Stay tuned for a recognized performance on TV each week!

My performance of the week ending 7/20/19 on TV goes to…

Kristen Bell as Veronica Mars on Hulu’s Veronica Mars season 4.  I have been a huge fan of Kristen Bell since the very start of the Veronica Mars series and the show still has a secure spot in my top 5 series of all time.  I was so disappointed when the show ended after three seasons, but was pleased when fans finally got to see the movie and I have been counting the days until the release of season 4 on Hulu, which surprise….it’s out a week early!!!!! What???!!!!

I’m so glad I finished my re-watch of the series early so that I can binge-watch all weekend and I have to say that Kristen Bell is still as charming as ever.  Veronica Mars may have more of a mature feel now, but that makes sense since we aren’t in high school anymore.  Veronica still sticks to her roots, challenging authority, taking chances, and speaking her mind, which brings quite a few laughs along the way.  She may be a marshmallow now, but she is also quite the bad-ass and I am having so much fun watching the new season.  **Please note spoilers have been left out for your convenience so feel free to read on!

One of the reasons why I love Veronica Mars so much as a character is because she is far from perfect.  Sure, she tends to be the one to solve the case and she often notices clues before the local Sheriff’s office, but she is also guarded with major trust issues, which can get in the way of some of her friendships and relationships.  Veronica has a supporting father, some great friendships, and an amazing boyfriend, but she tends to do things on her own. 

Some of my favorite moments with her are when she lets that guard down and is finally vulnerable, revealing her doubts and insecurities.  I connect with her so much and my heart has broken along with hers over the years.  Through it all, Veronica Mars continues to stay true to herself, reminding us that our purpose is sometimes right in front of us.

What’s next for Veronica Mars?  We’ll have to wait and see, but I’m wondering if a season 5 is possible?  The premise of the show allows a new case or mystery to set the scene and I have been loving the fun cameos and nostalgia sprinkled in across season 4. I’ll always be a Veronica Mars fan for life and Kristen Bell’s performance is real, inspiring, and super fun too!  If you haven’t seen the show yet, all of the episodes (seasons 1-4) are now streaming on Hulu and you can watch the movie on HBO GO/Now.  That’s all for now Marshmallows!  Enjoy the binge-watch!

Stay tuned for a recognized performance on TV each week!
