The film is a traditional character comedy that relies on established social hierarchies. The narrative structure centers around a homogeneous, male-dominated dynamic without exploring diverse identities. By focusing on the conflict between the two main male characters, the film reinforces traditional gender roles, relegating women to secondary roles. The production reflects a conservative approach to social composition, adhering to late-1990s Hollywood casting norms and presenting a non-diverse environment.
