Our take
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is rated PG-13 for strong language and suggestive references. Andy, Miranda, Emily, and Nigel return for a glossy comedy about saving Runway magazine. Expect a few f-words, song lyrics with b-word, jokes about sleeping with colleagues, and revealing runway fashion. A character dies suddenly from a heart attack at a party, and Emily makes a brief suicide joke. Social drinking at galas is common. Fine for teens who enjoyed the original, with a chat about fashion-industry values
Uplifting themes
Friendship, second chances, and standing up for meaningful work run through the reunion Andy and Nigel model loyalty and integrity, even when Miranda stays formidable Touches on journalism, media disruption, and fashion labor, but stays entertainment-first
