Detailed Bias Analysis

Leans Traditional
Primary
The film is a comedic narrative centered on two cousins recovering stolen money and navigating their neighborhood. Its primary themes of personal responsibility and community dynamics are presented in an apolitical context, with no explicit promotion or critique of specific political ideologies.
The movie features a predominantly Black cast and is set within a Black community, which is central to its comedic premise. The narrative does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center around strong DEI themes, focusing instead on character-driven humor and everyday situations.
Secondary
The film features LGBTQ+ characters, notably Damon, whose gay identity is largely a source of comedic discomfort and fear for the protagonists. His portrayal, along with other minor characters, relies heavily on aggressive and flamboyant stereotypes, presenting queer identity as a punchline or threat. The film lacks counterbalance or critique, resulting in a net negative and problematic depiction.
The film features Ms. Pearly, a character whose gender presentation and perceived biological sex are primarily used as a source of mockery and shock for comedic effect. The narrative frames her identity as a punchline, eliciting disgust from other characters without offering dignity or a counter-narrative, resulting in a problematic portrayal.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
This film is a sequel within an original movie series. All returning characters maintain their established genders, and new characters introduced in this installment do not have prior canonical or historical gender baselines to swap from.
This film is the third installment in an original film series. All returning and new characters are portrayed by actors whose race aligns with their established depiction within the franchise, or as new characters without a prior racial baseline. No established character's race was altered.
