Some characters added almost nothing: Ashley (the new assistant) and Charlie (heavy set male secretary) are examples.

Didn’t realize til I looked up the cast that Kenneth Branagh was in it (Meryl’s new husband). I did enjoy all the cameos.

I thought it was terrible and I can’t believe the reviews are as good as they are. The performances were really weak, especially Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci. I mean, great that Ticci doesnt look a day older than he did in the first, but too bad he can’t move his face and show any emotion. I hated the way they played Miranda as less confident. The Justin Theroux character was awful and zero believability that he and Emily would ever be together. The Australian guy was so random, as if Andy couldn’t go a whole 2 months of her life without a love interest.

Fwiw, I loved the first and don’t think I’m that picky about movies. But this was dull and completely cringe. My theory is that critics like it because it’s sympathetic to the struggles in journalism the past 20 years plus the Bezos take down.

Loved the first one

This one had some interesting beats about journalism and magazines, but the plot was all over the place and the third act in Italy kind of wastes Italy

And Meryl Streep literally was hobbling during some scenes. And her hair was so thin. Stanley Tucci looked so wrung out too. Emily Blunt had her new face. Anne Hathaway too, and she had to make up for it by acting like the same insecure Andy with zero growth in 20 years.
