The film's central conflict addresses a matriarch's unappreciated domestic labor, a theme with potential left-leaning implications regarding gender roles. However, its treatment as a family-centered Christmas comedy, coupled with unclear thematic messaging and a focus on interpersonal dynamics rather than systemic critique, results in a neutral political stance.

The movie incorporates a racially diverse cast and includes LGBTQ+ representation within its family structure. Its narrative centrally critiques traditional gender roles and expectations placed on women, emphasizing themes of female agency and the recognition of unpaid labor. These elements contribute to the film's engagement with diversity, equity, and inclusion.
