Leans Right

Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The film primarily explores the universal, apolitical challenges of marriage, family, and aging, focusing on personal and relational dynamics rather than societal or political issues. Its resolution emphasizes perseverance and commitment within the existing family structure, without explicitly promoting any political ideology.

Diversity: LowConfidence: High

The movie primarily features traditional casting with a predominantly white main and supporting cast, without intentional race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative focuses on the personal challenges of a white, heterosexual couple, presenting their experiences without critiquing traditional identities or explicitly incorporating DEI themes.

Secondary

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

This Is 40 does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The story is entirely centered on the heterosexual marriage, family dynamics, and midlife challenges of the main couple, Pete and Debbie, with no queer representation present.

FemPower: N/R

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

This film is a spin-off/sequel to "Knocked Up," continuing the story of established characters Pete and Debbie. All returning characters maintain their original gender portrayal from the previous installment. No characters from any prior canon or historical record have their gender altered.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

This Is 40 is an original film, a spin-off from Knocked Up, featuring characters created for the screen. It does not adapt any pre-existing source material with established racial identities for its characters, nor does it recast any legacy characters with actors of a different race. Therefore, no race swaps occurred.
