What We Think

'All About the Benjamins' is a rare non-woke relic, focused on laughs, action, and chemistry, not checking boxes. Its concerns are about money, mayhem, and mischief, not modern ideology. If you want a break from Hollywood’s lecture circuit, this is it.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

In our view, 'All About the Benjamins' keeps its focus on action, comedy, and the buddy-cop dynamic without shoehorning identity politics. Character arcs are built around personality quirks, not ideological statements or forced representation. The story prioritizes fun over messaging, refreshing for those tired of the usual formula.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn't go out of its way to undermine traditional values, family, or masculinity. If anything, it celebrates masculine camaraderie and street-smart hustle, steering clear of re-writing cultural norms to fit a modern checklist. No lectures here, just goofy mayhem.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little evidence that alternative viewpoints are mocked or villainized. The characters are flawed, edgy, and come from different walks of life, with nobody around to recite a modern morality play. Ideology takes a back seat to slapstick and wisecracks.
