Leans Right

Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The film critiques corporate greed and elite cynicism, but its solution champions individual moral rectitude, traditional values, and personal charity rather than advocating for systemic change or specific political ideologies, resulting in a neutral stance.

Diversity: LowConfidence: High

The movie features a predominantly traditional cast without explicit race or gender swaps of established roles. Its narrative positively frames traditional identities and values, with no central focus on diversity, equity, or inclusion themes.

Secondary

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

Mr. Deeds does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on heterosexual romance and comedic situations without engaging with queer identity in any capacity, leading to a determination of N/A.

FemPower: N/R

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

The 2002 film "Mr. Deeds" is a remake of the 1936 film "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town." A review of the main characters in both versions reveals no instances where a character's established gender from the original source material was changed in the 2002 adaptation.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

The 2002 film "Mr. Deeds" is a remake of the 1936 film "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town." All major and legacy characters, including Longfellow Deeds and Babe Bennett, are portrayed by actors of the same race as their established counterparts in the original film. No character canonically established as one race is depicted as a different race.
