Center
Primary
The film is a classic romantic comedy focused on individual romantic fulfillment and the pursuit of true love, culminating in a traditional marriage. Its themes are largely apolitical, centering on personal choices and happiness rather than promoting specific political ideologies or critiquing societal structures.
The movie features a Latina lead actress, which provides visible diversity in its casting. However, the narrative itself is a traditional romantic comedy that does not engage in any critique of traditional identities or incorporate explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The film features Fran, an openly gay supporting character, who is depicted as a competent and supportive friend. His sexuality is present but incidental to the narrative, neither uplifting nor denigrating, and avoids problematic stereotypes. The portrayal is neutral, as his identity is not central to the plot or explored in depth.
