Strong Right

Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The film is a romantic comedy focused on the humorous and chaotic pursuit of love, with its central themes of honesty and genuine affection being universally appealing rather than politically charged.

Diversity: LowConfidence: High

Secondary

LGBTQ: NegativeConfidence: High

FemPower: N/R

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

There's Something About Mary is an original film with no prior source material or historical figures. All characters were created for this specific production, thus precluding any instances of a race swap.
