Its universally accepted that her boyfriend was crusty, and her friends, not that great. Like is she not supposed to take her job as a personal assistant seriously....

Loathed the boyfriend! I work and travel a LOT and make good money affording our lifestyle. If my husband ever acted like that, it’d be over. Her b-friend was jealous, clingy and unsupportive. She never should’ve apologized.

"This seems like a very unhealthy work environment!" Honey, you've got a big storm coming

These days I’d say there’s a common consensus that the friends and boyfriend were at the very least not extremely understanding, especially when her plan was that she will do that job for one year only. I very much didn’t see it that way when I was a kid and watched it first but as an adult, I think your support group should be more understanding. Also, he’s a chef?!?? Like that’s such a demanding job how do you not empathise. And she’s gonna be a journalist after, so still hella demanding. Also they loooved her gifts yet acted rude. If my boss was ringing and they played around with my phone like that, you wouldn’t catch me speaking to them without an apology. Bare rude, they’re not teenagers, they should understand the job market. Talk to her like an adult about her changing, your brain is fully developed surely.

Fun fact: the dress Emily wears in her final scene is a version of the dress Miranda was setting up when she told off Andrea in the beginning. It shows that what she (Miranda) put together ended up being what's in fashion.

The symbolism when she put the coat and bag on Emily's desk instead of Andy's..... I think we can all agree that was a GAG

"Let me know if you like to see me watch Mean Girls" Oh Brad. Don't be asking us questions you already know the answer to. That's all.

Common denominators in early Anne Hathaway Movies: 1) Makeovers 2) Hermes-induced Trauma 3) "I never want to see those shoes again"

The effect this movie has had socially is interesting. Meryl Streep has said a lot of young people have spoken to her about her character and how it influenced them in their career's. Especially men, which surprised her. Adrian Grenier who played Nate said in retrospect that the boyfriend and the friends were terrible to Andrea. But the one who has been effected by the most is who the story is about, Anna Wintour the chief editor of American Vogue. The book that influenced this movie was written by one of past assistance. Once the book became a best seller, then the movie became a cultural event. While Wintour could have denied how she is, but she embraced it. Doing a documentary (''The September Issue''), going on TV talk shows, being more public with her MET Gala work, and even doing a KZfaq interview with Meryl. So essentially the Iron Lady of Fashion thrived after the film came out and which would have killed most.

Her friends and boyfriends were bigger antagonists than Miranda in my opinion. At least Miranda was consistent. It’s pretty toxic that they made it out like Andy was in the wrong when she never had I’ll intention at any point. Just like Miranda, her friends and boyfriend had sky high expectations for her and were ready to toss her aside when she didn’t meet those expectations.

As someone with several family members in culinary, I can tell you that the boyfriend would have to have a whole lot of damn nerve to be giving her a hard time about how much she works. Culinary is long, hard hours and towards the end he says he was offered a position as a sous, so he was definitely putting in a lot of time in the kitchen that get there. I hate that they have her tell him that he was right about everything when he and their friends were really unsupportive the whole time.

“Florals? In spring?… Groundbreaking.” 🌺 I’m SO HAPPY that you reacted to this (and that you’ve finally seen this masterpiece of a movie!!!). This is one of my all time favourite movies. Also yeah I believe most fans of this movie agree that Andy has garbage friends/boyfriend. PS: You should TOTALLY react to Mean Girls. It would be SO FETCH 💁🏼‍♂️💖

Miranda smiling at the end is a callback to what Nigel says to Andrea during James Holt's fashion preview ("There's only been one actual smile on record and that was Tom Ford in 2001"). Unless I'm mistaken that's the one and only time she smiles during the entire movie.

Half the reason I watch Brad is so I can see his large assortment of super tight tops and t-shirts

When I watched this as a child, I had the exact same thoughts about the bf and friends. Imagine a literal child being able to decipher how selfish and unsupportive the adults were.

The opening scene of this movie is werdly very comfy to me Idk why lol. When I first saw this movie as a kid I remember my dad being annoyed all the time at her boyfriend and in the end when they meet at the cafe he was like "Nah eff this idiot!".😅

The friends and the boyfriend are the true villains in the movie (except maybe the editor). But yeah, they were actively sabotaging her job. Your reaction to the twins being like "you can give the book to us" was 100% ON! "Florals? In spring. Groundbreaking."

This movie was my introduction to Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci. Anne Hathaway was the 9TH choice to play Andy!

I love the way you draw the line between having style and having ... bitchiness. You did it perfectly. "If she's comfortable that's fine" and, "it's not something I would wear" was the superior attitude.

The boyfriend and friends always drive me insane, like let her work hard and make money even if this job might not be her dream job, at least she’s killing it and making cash But the entire movie is so iconic, I just can’t

I totally agree with you about the boyfriend thing. The ending of this film always pissed me off, the way she's supposed to be happy for him that he's got his dream job in another city, when he never really supported her and acted like a spoilt child when she had work commitments she had to meet. When you think about it while she was working towards her goals, so was he, he's apparentlya chef, they work horrendoushours usually12 hour shifts, but he was pissed that she wasn't around when it was convenient to him.

OMG YES PLS DO MEAN GIRLS ( also I’m in love with the outfit )

I thought that on ur side was a dog and I was like "why tf is he ignoring the poor dog?? 🥺" HAHAHAHAHAH

Mean Girls would be fun, but one of the big inspirations of it, Heathers, would be even better to see you react to! Plus you'd get to see Winona Ryder as a teenager

Florals for spring? Groundbreaking. The Devil Wears Prada is one of my favorite films. It's iconic, so many memorable lines. "By all means mooove at a glacial pace, you know how that thrills me" is one of my favorite lines. For me this is one the rare cases where the movie is way better than the book it's based off of. You 100% should watch Mean Girls. In my opinion it's just as much of a classic as The Devil Wears Prada is.

This movie comes from a book, who was written by the real Andrea. Meryl herself has declared that Miranda is Anna Wintour, they had a vogue interview. Anna has never said a word. It's supposed almost everything we saw in movie is in fact herstory.

I’m literally queening out cause that’s how much I love this movie

it's so funny about how back then no one ever thought about how selfish her boyfriend and friends we're being. I"m so glad that's finally being seen now, if only the movie had anne hathaway's character realize that. sighhhhhhhh Edit: Not to say that she should've stayed where she was unhappy (i.e her job) but her doing so just gave validation to her boyfriend who was indeed being very selfsih, i would've just left them both and started fresh tbh

The hot blonde woman in the beginning is actually a famous Victoria Secret's angel, our pride and joy from Brazil, Gisele Bünchen. She is absolutely gorgeous and dated Leo di Caprio.

I've thought every time I've thought to myself when her friends get all judgey is," They weren't being so judgey when they took all that free stuff from me from Runway," and that if the roles had been reversed and the boyfriend had had a demanding job, Andrea would have been expected to be supportive of him.

as a straight man in a tough buisness this movie has been one of my favorites since its inception. it shows how hard some people have to work to still never be happy. this movie shows how you should never ever judge a book by its cover.

Florals in Spring? Groundbreaking! I love that john krasinski fell in love with emily blunt by watching devil wears Prada multiple times. He is a supportive husband.

The general consensus is that the ACTUAL villains in the movie are her boyfriend and friends who are quite toxic!

Love this movie so much! The savagery of Miranda and Emily give me life whenever I watch this 😌 lol

Definitely Mean Girls. A few more classics if you haven't seen them: Miss Congeniality, Legally Blonde, 10 Things I Hate About You. Maybe a Kate Hudson vehicle? How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Raising Helen...

I have always loved the Devil loves Prada and saw Miranda as a woman who wanted to help Andy not be mean but become her own person. Miranda knows first hand just how cruel the fashion world is for women and wanted to teach Andy HOW to create her own path and find a perfect balance between work and home life without losing herself along the way.

Can we all agree this movie elevate the three actresses to the Iconic Legends level. We love Meryl, Anne and Emily even more after this classic, and we've been following them in every other project they've been in.

Only you could make me love this movie even more I love your reactions so much!! 🤍

When Miranda said " Take a chance, hire the smart Fat Girl" I about died..hilarious!😂😂😂😂

The sponsor break made me realize how much I would absolutely love to see a day in the life video from you

Florals In spring!… Groundbreaking!! I agree with everything you said about this movie. I was in a similar situation as Andrea, except it was at 2 of my previous jobs, and it caused arguments with family members, which was the worst. Especially with the 2nd job because one of my family members sometimes drove me home, but I rarely left on time, if ever. I think the entire time I worked there, I maybe left 3-5 times actually on time. Especially when I was struggling financially, I picked up even more hours, and it was a nightmare with the same family members. It felt like I was going home just to battle and being made to feel guilty about it, and it made me want to stay at work even longer so I didn't get yelled at on the ride home and made to cry...It was the worst. Disclaimer: I lived close enough to the job that even though I had a car and could drive, I would walk there instead. When I got out late, they were paranoid about me walking home, which I understand, but at the same time, my house was practically right around the corner...

My sisters and I watched this movie RELIGIOUSLY growing up! 🙌🏽 Loved every second of this reaction. I would honestly watch anything and everything you reacted to!! ❤️

Florals, in spring? Groundbreaking. This movie is amazing and I can't wait to do the watch along in patreon with you ❤🏵

Your so cute! Such an iconic movie and book. Meryl is everything!! So glad you have experienced this now😊

“Florals in spring?! Groundbreaking.” I agree when u said it was the boyfriend’ and friend’s fault for not supporting her, because friends are people in your life who are supposed to support u as u change and grow and they didn’t do that for her.

When the chest gap moves down you pull it up and I think, "Stop doing that, damnit!" Give the folks a show.

The fan doesnt bother me! Unless it bothers someone else 😂 but if you ask me leave it at 3, dont die of heat stroke 😂

Florals in spring🌸🌼 Love the video and I absolutely agree the friends where very unsupportive. I can understand both sides honestly I think they assumed she would stay the same personality wise but she was struggling trying to please her boss which made her forget about everyone else who matters to her.

"I just wanted to say you were right about everything.""NO!" - This is exactly correct yes.

Hey Brad, it would be great if you could react to these movies sometime: - Pride (2014) - Kinky Boots (2005) - The Birdcage (1996) - In & Out (1997) - The Addams Family (1991) + Addams Family Values (1993) - You Should Meet My Son (2010) - The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994) - To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar (1995) - Jeffrey (1995) - She-Devil (1989) - Death Becomes Her (1992) - The First Wives Club (1997)

Definitely do Mean Girls, Clueless, and Legally Blonde

Oh my god I screamed when I saw this! Devil Weara Prada is iconic! Truly one of my all time favs. So jealous you got to watch it for the first time! ❤ Finished! So glad you liked it! Would love to see you react to Elite on Netflix. Florals in spring 🌿🌷💐

DO A BURLESQUE REACTION, extremely iconic movie imo edit: OMFG i commented this before you mentioned it in the video😭😭😭

That's a strong "yes" for Mean Girls, please!!

The top is absolutely EVERYTHING

I'm absolutely living for your reactions to all the savagery this movie holds. This is unironically my favourite movie it will never get old

I would love to see mean girls but I remember you mentioned on a live about doing fear street I would love to see that xx

I always saw the coat and bag on Emily's desk as Andy got promoted

THANK YOU! The part that has always irked me about this movie is how not understanding Andy’s friends and boyfriend were! (Thought probably realistic 🥴)

Love that you reacted to this - such an iconic movie! And the editing was on point as always 😂💕

Definitely need your video watching mean girls 😣✨

i’d liveeee for a mean girls reaction but i live for every video u do🫶🏽i love how kind u were this whole time, i rarely see that energy in this movie. i jus know ur so amazing in real life✨

Please never apologize for long vids! I will listen to you for hours as I commute to work

You nailed it! Well said and so natural - way to call out the support those we love 💜✌️

groundbreaking florals in spring 🌸 absolutely loved this reaction. they way you got excited got me excited 💞

I enjoy your commentary Brad and your music choices. You make it fun! 😊 Florals and Spring! 💐

Living for the reactions and the perfect intriguing eye capturing edit and cuts ❤️‍🔥🤩💯

Was waiting for this!!!!!👏🏽👏🏽

Love your energy and your channel Brad, thanks for providing us with such entertainment and laughs! Wishing you continued wealth, health, and happiness 😊💚🌈

YEAH!!! I'm happy more people are reacting to one of my favorite multi-Oscar-winning movies of all time! 🤗💖💖💖

I'm SO glad you didn't give the boyfriend a break. I HATE how he doesn't support her, especially when he works in NYC restaurants. Dude would be working all kinds of hours. And the friends were getting freebies off her! A $2000 purse! FFS! You forgive her a cheek kiss! Also florals? In spring? Groundbreaking.

This was so much fun to watch, great reaction! As a kid, I didn't really think anything of her boyfriend & friends but watching back as an adult, I'm surprised by how selfish and unsupportive they are. Also, would love to see you react to Mean Girls!

Ahhh yes Brad!!! Just got notified and I am watching now! Hope you liked the film 🎥

Brad I love your vids. And I wanted to let you know. Their was supposed to be a sequel based on the second Novel called Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns. And the story from my understanding was. Andy is the editor-in-chief of a bridal magazine and Emily is now her assistant and best friend. Andy is preparing for her upcoming nuptials and she is dreading the day when Miranda will come back into her life. And thats all I know. The cast of this one was on board to make it but it wasnt picked up. Keep up the great work.

Florals in spring 🌼 GROUNDBREAKING! 🌹🌸💐🌺🌷🌻🥀

I’m so excited for your merch braddddd

FINALLYYYYY 😭😭😭, also we love you babes 🖤

OMG I just came across this vid. I love watching you react to one of my all time favourite movies! Thanks for the amazing content ♥️

Never seen this so I’m watching it with you!! Love you Brad ahh 💗

What pisses me off about the boyfriend is that he knows that this job was a means to an end for her and it's an amazing career opportunity. He just moans and throws tantrums anyway. She wasn't going to do the job for long, she just needed to have the connections etc. If it's been 5 years and she's still like that maybe then it might be a problem for a family but that's if she wants one etc.

I'm here for this! 💕

OMG i love your reactions and this film so much!!

Loved the reaction! 😍

Literally soooo iconiccc can’t wait to watch xx

This edit is insane, I love it.

BRADDDDD with the fun sponsor- 👏👏👏👏 we love to see it babe!

LOVE your reaction, gurl!

There have been video essays highlighting the faults/toxic behavior from the unsupportive boyfriend/friends. The first time seeing it, I did agree that he and her friends overreacted. She should have stuck to her ground and explain herself, but not validating his needy whining about her job. I’m sure his job might leave little room for her, but I suppose when it affects his free time, and her friends’ inability to hear her out or even support her. Toxicity all around, but it is a fun film. Meryl F-ing Streep! Effortless sass.

Florals in Spring? Groundbreaking Also, YES PLEASE WATCH MAMMA MIA!

THANK YOU DEBBIE FOR THIS SUGGESTION! I am actually obsessed with this movie😂 There is also a clip online that I’d highly recommend you watch. It’s super short but it’s Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt presenting an Oscar (I think 2007) and they do a bit with Meryl in the audience acting as Miranda and it is the funniest thing ever. They’re all such icons🤩🤩

I could not have loved this video more, this was amazing and so delightful.

Allow me to put the hurricane problem in perspective: We've all seen Mirandas job is her whole life, even over her marriage and children. So whenever she gets a chance to make time for them, of course it would be important for her. THAT'S what Miranda's really upset about. And she DID go easy on her for not pulling it off: she didnt fire her.

Florals in spring... groundbreaking 🌸

Florals in spring 🌸🌸🌸 loved the video!!! You always make the best comments jiji. Please react to mean girls, it’s such a CLASSIC ✨

10:22 that's literally gisele bündchen with emily blunt! she made a cameo in this movie since it was all about, of course, fashion! my favorite model EVER

it really helps that she’s good looking. imagine if she wasn’t, no man would come through getting her that manuscript

Lov that Brad got this perfectly correct at the end. PEACE

I just found your channel and I enjoyed every minute of your reaction ..."GROUNDBREAKING"... & The Devil Wears Prada is one of my top 10 favourite films of all time.

Not me SCREAMING when you mentioned Burlesque right after I thought about it 😂👀

The villains of this movie will always be Andy's Boyfriend and friends, they couldnt even support her for less than a year in a life changing but intense job! The BF was thrilled to be all over her physically when she glowed up and the friends happily accepted luxury gifts but god forbid Andy graft hard for one year to advance her career massively and not be able to be as available as before. The BF and friends offer zero emotional support, telling her just to quit repeatedly, The boyfriend is an absolute man child who needs his wants and career to be the priority in their relationship and the artist friend starts the whole cheating drama from a god damn kiss on the cheek. Its vile, one sided and gaslighty the way they treat her especially the boyfriend, love the film but they give me massive ick vibes. A final note as well maybe its just the era this was made in but if Miranda was a man no one would think she was an unreasonable, mean bitch or portray her as that. She would be seen as a cuthroat, savvy, business minded boss. Theres a real sexist lense we are made to see this film through imo.
