What We Think

A Life Less Ordinary is, thankfully, a product of its time, eccentric, irreverent, and relatively unburdened by modern woke tropes. The film is more about oddball romance and supernatural hijinks than soapboxing for identity themes. Non-woke viewers can rest easy.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses more on its quirky love story and outlandish plot than on overtly highlighting character identity traits. There's no noticeable emphasis on casting for diversity's sake, and the characters are defined by their eccentricities and narrative roles rather than tokenism.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the movie playfully toys with romance and fate, it doesn't particularly undermine traditional values like family, religion, or masculinity. It tends to parody rather than outright subvert, and its irreverence is aimed more at genre conventions than at cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no discernible ideological monoculture present. Characters have distinct motives and personalities, and the story is more about chaos and dark comedy than pushing any unified worldview. Alternative or traditional views are not mocked or stereotyped.
