A near-perfect sequel being tainted by a pointless man? Likely thing to happen.
After months of anticipation, ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ hit theaters on May 1 and was a mostly stellar follow-up to the original. The film reckons with the current magazine apocalypse, editorial pay-for-play, and the degradation of journalism at large. As a sub-plot, there is also a romance between Andy Sachs and the newly introduced Peter, who surprisingly added very little to the plot. All we know is that he (a) is Australian, (b) works in construction, (c) is divorced, and (d) apparently likes Andy.
But with such a one-dimensional addition to this cast of characters, we can’t help but wonder: What would be so wrong with just making Andy single? At the link in bio, writer @meganhwallace dives into why the addition of Peter is an insult to single women everywhere.
