Leans Right

Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The film's central focus is on an individual's journey to manage anger and assertiveness through unconventional therapy, rather than engaging with broader political or systemic issues, leading to a neutral rating.

Diversity: ModerateConfidence: High

The movie features a predominantly white main cast, with some visible diversity in supporting roles, but without explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white characters. The narrative focuses on a white male protagonist's personal growth and does not critically portray traditional identities or center explicit DEI themes.

Secondary

LGBTQ: NegativeConfidence: High

The film features a gay character, Chuck, whose identity is largely reduced to a comedic device. His advances towards the protagonist are consistently played for laughs, creating awkward situations for the straight lead. This portrayal lacks dignity and complexity, primarily using his sexuality as a source of discomfort and humor without positive counter-balance, resulting in a net negative impact.

FemPower: N/R

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High
