Primary
The film's narrative centers on a man's personal journey of overcoming a breakup and finding new love and self-worth, themes that are fundamentally apolitical and do not explicitly promote or critique any specific political ideology.
The movie features a predominantly white main cast with no explicit race or gender swaps of traditional roles. Its narrative, a romantic comedy centered on a white male protagonist, does not critique traditional identities or incorporate explicit DEI themes.
Secondary

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
