The film portrays the initial prejudices of the devout Catholic parents, but its narrative arc clearly condemns this bigotry, positioning the audience to see their views as flawed. The film ultimately champions acceptance and unity, showing the parents overcoming their biases and embracing their diverse family, while also depicting other Catholic characters (the Ivorian family) positively.

Islam is depicted through another daughter's marriage. Similar to Judaism, the film employs humor derived from cultural stereotypes, but these serve to highlight the parents' initial biases rather than to condemn the faith itself. The Muslim characters are shown as loving and family-oriented, and the film's overarching message is one of overcoming prejudice and fostering mutual respect among different faiths and cultures.

Judaism is depicted through one of the daughters' marriages. While the film uses humor based on cultural stereotypes, these are presented within the context of the parents' prejudices or as lighthearted cultural differences. The Jewish characters are portrayed with warmth and as integral, loving members of the extended family, with the narrative ultimately promoting acceptance over bigotry.
