Detailed Bias Analysis

Leans Right

Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The film is rated as neutral because its central subject matter revolves around universal themes of friendship, nostalgia, and personal relationships, offering solutions that are entirely personal and relational rather than political or ideological.

Diversity: ModerateConfidence: High

The movie primarily features a traditional cast consistent with its established franchise, showing no explicit race or gender swaps of its core roles. Its narrative does not center on or explicitly critique traditional identities or promote DEI themes, maintaining a neutral to positive framing of its characters within a comedic context.

Secondary

LGBTQ: NegativeConfidence: High

The film features a lesbian character, Kara, whose identity is primarily used for comedic effect, reducing her to a plot device for awkward humor. While a minor scene involving Jim's dad at a gay bar is benign, it does not offset the overall problematic portrayal that uses LGBTQ+ identity as a source of ridicule rather than depicting it with dignity or complexity.

FemPower: N/R

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

American Reunion is a direct sequel to previous films in the franchise, featuring the original cast. All established characters maintain their canonical genders from prior installments, with no instances of a character being portrayed as a different gender.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

American Reunion is a direct sequel bringing back the original cast from the American Pie franchise. All established characters are portrayed by the same actors, maintaining their original race from previous installments. No character's race was changed.
