Say It Isn't So (2001)
Boy meets girl; boy falls in love (and had wild, non-stop sex) with girl; boy loses girl... when they discover they are brother and sister! But when he learns that he's the victim of the ultimate case of mistaken identity, the lovesick young man -- whom everyone still thinks is after some taboo thrills -- must race across the country to stop her from marrying another man.

The film is a romantic comedy centered on an absurd misunderstanding about potential incest, which is resolved by revealing the characters are not related. Its focus on slapstick humor and personal romantic dilemmas, rather than societal critique or political commentary, renders it apolitical.
The film features a cast with some visible diversity, including a prominent role for a Black actor, but does not appear to engage in explicit race or gender-swapped casting for traditionally white roles. The narrative, a romantic comedy, maintains a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities and does not explicitly critique them or center DEI themes.
The film features LGBTQ+ characters, including Gilly's lesbian mother and her partner, and a gay hairdresser. Their identities are present and serve minor plot or comedic functions, but the overall portrayal is incidental, neither strongly affirming nor problematic, avoiding deep exploration or significant impact on the narrative's core themes.
The film features a transsexual character, Dig McCaffrey, whose identity is revealed as a major plot twist to resolve a perceived incestuous relationship. This portrayal uses the character's trans identity primarily for comedic shock and plot convenience, rather than offering a dignified or complex depiction.
The film portrays a 'Christian' halfway house run by Vic, a manipulative and hypocritical character who uses religion as a front for his schemes. The narrative depicts this institution and its leader as exploitative and problematic, without significant counterbalancing positive portrayals of the faith.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
