The film is a lighthearted crime comedy centered on individual revenge and comedic situations, rather than offering a critique of societal structures or promoting specific political ideologies, thus landing it squarely in the neutral category.
The movie features a visibly diverse cast, including prominent Black and Latino actors in lead and significant supporting roles, without explicitly recasting traditionally white characters. The narrative presents a wealthy white male as the antagonist, whose negative portrayal is based on his individual character flaws rather than an explicit, central critique of traditional identities from a DEI perspective.
The film adapts a novel where the main character, Kevin Caffery, and his girlfriend, Amber Belhaven, were established as white. In the movie, these roles are portrayed by Black actors Martin Lawrence and Carmen Ejogo, respectively, constituting clear race swaps.
The film 'What's the Worst That Could Happen?' does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its plot or character development. Therefore, there is no portrayal to evaluate regarding queer identity or experiences, resulting in an N/A rating for its net impact.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film is an adaptation of Donald E. Westlake's novel of the same name.
