Why the scores diverge

Knocked Up highlight: Dialogue occasionally touches on social themes but remains largely natural and character-driven rather than preachy or message-heavy.
Barbie: Several characters appear designed more to tick diversity boxes and represent political symbols than to serve the narrative organically, which disrupts character depth and coherence.
Knocked Up: Characters are mostly developed with narrative purpose; tokenism is minimal and secondary to their roles in the story.
