Center
Primary
The film's central focus on universal themes of family unity, resilience, and coping with everyday misfortunes, without engaging in any specific political or societal critiques, firmly places it as neutral.
The movie features a primarily traditional cast in its central family roles, with no intentional race or gender swaps of traditionally white characters. Its narrative focuses on universal family themes and does not engage in any critique of traditional identities, maintaining a neutral to positive portrayal.
Secondary
The film adapts the book where Alexander has two older brothers. In the movie, one of these brothers, Nicholas, is replaced by an older sister named Emily, constituting a gender swap for a named, plot-relevant character.
The film is a family comedy centered on a single day of escalating mishaps for the Cooper family. It does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters, relationships, or themes, resulting in no portrayal to evaluate.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film adapts the children's book where the characters are depicted as a white family. The movie maintains this portrayal, with all main characters being cast as white actors, consistent with the source material.
