Primary
The film's central comedic premise and narrative arc satirize and ultimately challenge the pervasive sexism and male chauvinism of 1970s media, aligning with progressive values of gender equality, thus earning a Left-Leaning rating.
The movie features traditional casting with a predominantly white male ensemble, reflecting the era it parodies. While it satirizes male chauvinism and outdated gender roles, this is done through comedy rather than an explicit or critical negative portrayal of traditional identities.
