Why the scores diverge

Tower Heist highlight: The dialogue occasionally leans into social commentary about Wall Street greed but remains largely natural and story-driven.
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.
Tower Heist: Some characters appear to be included to represent diverse working-class backgrounds, though they mostly serve the plot without heavy tokenism.
