I’ve by no means wished for time-travel to be attainable tougher than I’m now, purely so I can see The Devil Wears Prada 2 with out having to attend.
Sadly, there’s nonetheless six months between me and the sequel of the century, and the FOMO is kicking in large time. Fortunately, Disney+ has our backs when it come to fashion-focused movies.
Confessions of a Shopaholic
Launch date: February 13, 2009
Ranking: PG
Runtime: 105 minutes
Forged: Isla Fisher, Krysten Ritter, Hugh Dancy, Joan Cusack
Image it: it is 2009, and I am sitting in the back of the varsity bus blasting Kat DeLuna’s ‘Calling You’ on my 1st era iPod Classic, one in every of many licensed bangers featured on the Confessions of a Shopaholic soundtrack. I’ve learn the Sophie Kinsella novel of the identical identify, and watched the Isla Fisher-led film extra occasions than I care to depend.
Not solely was it the primary time I correctly realized the affect debt and purchasing addictions had on folks, however I used to be shocked by the outfits, drama, humor, and Fisher’s pure attraction. Whilst an grownup, I do not actually perceive why Confessions of a Shopaholic was so universally hated on.
In truth, I might say it was up there with The Satan Wears Prada by way of timeless cultural classics. None of it feels date, the jokes nonetheless land in addition to they used to, and it is all simply extremely candy and hopeful. Did I point out the banging soundtrack?
Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie
Release date: July 1, 2016
Rating: R
Runtime: 86mins
Cast: Jennifer Saunders, Joanna Lumley, Julia Sawalha, June Whitefield
Sweetie Darling! Long before there was Miranda and Andy, there was Eddie (Jennifer Saunders) and Patsy (Joanna Lumley). I’ve seen every episode of the original 90s sitcom more times than I’ve seen my own family this year, so when the 2016 movie came out, I was locked in.
Does Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie live up to the sitcom? No. Does it throw caution to the wind to give its fans a good time? Every step of the way. Every celebrity wanted to be a part of this movie, and you can tell just how much love went into making it.
Obviously, nobody is a bigger star than Eddie and Pats themselves. Saunders and Lumley’s chemistry and unspoken understanding of each other has never changed, and I could happily watch them riff off each other for the next half a century. Just as well, because does Lumley ever age?
The Devil Wears Prada
Launch date: October 5, 2006
Ranking: PG-13
Runtime: 109 minutes
Forged: Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci
Have I written this listing purely as an excuse to speak in regards to the unique The Satan Wears Prada? Perhaps. I could not write a trend film listicle with out together with the rationale why each thirtysomething girl is on the verge of wetting themselves with pleasure, similar to we did once we had been tweens.
On the time, I do not assume I noticed simply how large of a deal it was that Meryl Streep had signed onto the film, and the superior foursome of her, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci act like they had been all the time meant to be collectively. The parallels between the fictional Runway and Vogue have pantomime ranges of brilliance, however The Satan Wears Prada is rarely afraid to get severe.
However then there’s the quotable dialogue. The truth that Streep improvised the perfect components of the cerulean belt scene. Hathaway’s iconic costume change montage soundtracked by Madonna’s ‘Vogue.’ Blunt not with the ability to open a yoghurt. What extra may you ask of peak 2000s cinema? You’ll want to watch it once more… that is all.
