Traditional
Primary
The film's central conflict revolves around family honor and an absurd beer-drinking competition, which are largely apolitical themes, leading to a neutral rating as it consciously avoids promoting or critiquing specific political ideologies.
The movie features a traditional cast, primarily composed of white males, without any intentional race or gender swaps of established roles. Its narrative centers on male camaraderie and competition, presenting traditional identities in a neutral to positive light, and does not incorporate or critique any DEI themes.
Secondary
Beerfest features a problematic portrayal of LGBTQ+ themes, primarily using perceived homosexuality and effeminacy as recurring sources of crude humor. The narrative relies on stereotypes and discomfort for comedic effect, lacking any affirming or complex depiction of queer identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Beerfest is an original film by Broken Lizard, not an adaptation or reboot of existing material. All characters were created for this film, thus there are no pre-established characters whose gender could have been swapped.
Beerfest is an original film by Broken Lizard, not an adaptation of existing source material or a biopic. Therefore, there are no pre-established characters from prior canon or history whose race could be changed.
