Two Decades Later

 

Let's all flashback our little selves to 2006.   It was so long ago that I never got to review the first Prada movie on my blog.   That's because I didn't start the blog till a year later.

So much has happened since then.  The hard drive of my brain is totally full and that explains why, despite having seen the first Prada film, I don't remember a single detail about it.   Oh, sure, it starred Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, and Stanley Tucci.   I sort of remembered that the movie was riotously funny.  But, other than that, I never bothered to see it again.* And maybe I should have.  Because a dearth of seeable movies at the cineplex led me to see the second Prada film, which just opened.   And I sat there stonefaced for most of the movie.   What I did recall as bitingly funny was a toothless mess.   Is this how funny the original was?   Or did I just mis-remember.

Meanwhile, I gaped at the characters on screen and rattle my brain for any sort of recognition.  Who is this?  What did that mean?   Were senses of humor more prevalent in 2006?

I think the sum total here is basically...20 years is too long a time between original and sequel.

LEN'S RATING:  Two stars.

Dinner last night:  Long travel day.
