The Devil Wears Prada 2 Review - Actors' Performances
While the writing and direction of The Devil Wears Prada 2 are good, the performances of the actors surely take the film a notch higher. Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly is just wonderful. She gets into the skin of the character again perfectly, proving that even at 76, she can give all the young actresses a run for their money when it comes to swag, and of course, talent.
Anne Hathaway as Andy gets the meatiest role, just like in Part 1, and she has nailed it. Inshallah, we might see her taking some awards for her performance in The Devil Wears Prada 2. Emily Blunt also impresses us, and she steals the show whenever she comes on the screen.
Stanley Tucci as Nigel leaves a strong mark with his performance and supports the women in the movie very well. Simone Ashley, famously known for her performance as Kate in Bridgerton, is wasted here.
Other supporting actors like Justin Theroux, Kenneth Branagh, Patrick Brammall, Helen Shen, and B. J. Novak are good in their respective roles. Also, the cameo of Lady Gaga is one of the highlights of the movie.
