Traditional
Primary
The film's central subject matter of child stardom and personal development is largely apolitical, and its narrative champions individual emotional growth through genuine human connection and a surrogate family experience, rather than promoting a specific political ideology.
The movie features a predominantly traditional cast without explicit DEI-driven casting choices. Its narrative focuses on the protagonist's personal journey and the satire of Hollywood, without critically portraying traditional identities or incorporating explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The film includes a lesbian character, Brenda, whose identity is largely presented through comedic stereotypes and misunderstandings. Her sexuality serves as a source of humor rather than being depicted with dignity or complexity, lacking any counterbalancing positive portrayal.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film "Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star" features original characters created for this specific movie. There is no prior source material, historical basis, or previous installments from which characters' genders could have been established and subsequently changed.
