Leans Traditional
Primary
The film uses a premise rooted in a religious vow of abstinence but focuses primarily on individual romantic and emotional growth, culminating in a resolution that prioritizes genuine connection over strict adherence to the vow, without promoting a specific political ideology.
The movie features a predominantly white cast typical of its genre and era, without any intentional race or gender swaps of traditional roles. Its narrative centers on a romantic comedy premise, offering no critique of traditional identities or explicit engagement with diversity, equity, and inclusion themes.
Secondary
The film uses the Christian observance of Lent as the central premise for the protagonist's journey of self-discipline and personal growth. While played for comedic effect through his struggles, the narrative ultimately affirms the positive outcome of his commitment, portraying the underlying principle of the vow as beneficial without ridiculing the faith itself.
