Content Flags
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is a polished, crowd-pleasing sequel that reunites its iconic cast in a story about ambition, rivalry, and legacy in the fashion industry. Theologically it is a blank slate — secular to the core, with no faith dimension and a worldview that prizes professional success above deeper goods. It is best suited for adult fans of the original who can engage it critically, and offers limited but real conversation value around ambition, identity, and what we build our lives on.
Pastoral Take
This is a safe enough film for older teenagers and adults in terms of content — it's a PG-13 comedy-drama with no graphic material — but parents should know it offers very little in the way of positive values and no spiritual grounding whatsoever. The world it celebrates is one where cruelty is stylish and ambition is everything, and while the film gently critiques that, it never escapes it either. It can be a genuinely useful conversation starter about identity, ambition, and what we're really working toward in life — but go in ready to have that conversation rather than expecting the film to have it for you.
Discussion Points
- 1Miranda spends much of this film thinking about her legacy — what she'll leave behind when she steps away from Runway. What do you think really makes a life worth something? Is there anything in Proverbs or the Gospels that speaks to what a good legacy actually looks like?
- 2Andy is pressured throughout the film to become more like Miranda — ruthless, image-obsessed, willing to step on others to win. She resists that, but it costs her. Have you ever been in a situation where doing the right thing put you at a disadvantage? What gave you — or could give you — the strength to hold the line anyway?
- 3Emily's jealousy and rivalry with Andy drives a lot of the conflict in this film. The Bible talks a lot about envy — James 3:16 says 'where envy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing.' Do you see that playing out in how Emily acts? What do you think she was really looking for that the fashion world couldn't give her?
- 4The world of this film treats clothes, prestige, and being seen as the most important things in life. Jesus said in Matthew 6 not to worry about what we wear — that life is more than that. Do you think films like this make it harder or easier to believe that? Why?
