Primary

Political: Leans LeftConfidence: Medium

The film critiques the manipulative amusement of the ultra-rich and the corrupting influence of greed, ultimately championing collective altruism over individual gain through its resolution, aligning with left-leaning values.

Diversity: ModerateConfidence: High

The film features a visibly diverse ensemble cast, including prominent roles for Black actors, though these characters are original to the story rather than explicit race or gender swaps of established roles. The narrative is a straightforward comedy focused on a chaotic pursuit, and it does not engage in critical portrayals of traditional identities or center on explicit DEI themes.
