Center
Primary
The film focuses on an individual's journey of self-reinvention and proving her worth through personal initiative and talent, rather than promoting a specific political ideology or advocating for systemic change, leading to a neutral rating.
The movie features a diverse cast, notably with Jennifer Lopez in the lead role, but without explicitly recasting traditionally white characters. Its narrative focuses on personal ambition and class, rather than offering a critique of traditional identities or making DEI themes central to the plot.
Secondary
The film features a minor gay character, Owen, whose sexuality is presented as a normal, accepted part of his identity. His portrayal is positive in its normalcy, free from stereotypes or conflict, but his queer identity is incidental to the main plot, leading to a neutral overall impact.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Second Act is an original film with characters created specifically for this movie. There is no prior source material, historical record, or previous installment from which characters' genders could have been altered.
Second Act is an original film with no prior source material, historical figures, or established legacy characters. All characters were created for this specific production, meaning there is no baseline from which a race swap could occur.
