Center
Primary
The film primarily explores apolitical themes of family, love, and acceptance, focusing on personal growth and relational harmony within a family unit rather than promoting any specific political ideology.
The movie features a largely traditional cast, primarily focusing on a white family without intentional race or gender swaps of established roles. The narrative maintains a neutral to positive portrayal of traditional identities, with DEI themes not being central to the plot or character development.
Secondary
The film positively portrays Patrick, a gay son, and his partner Thad. Their loving relationship and plans for adoption are fully embraced by the family, affirming their dignity and normalizing their place within the family structure without any negative framing or stereotypes.
Meredith's Judaism is initially met with prejudice and misunderstanding by some characters, but the film's narrative clearly condemns this bigotry, positioning the audience to sympathize with Meredith and promoting acceptance and understanding of religious differences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
