What We Think

A franchise gender-swap that checks every modern woke box, 'Girls' Rules' sacrifices the rough-edged charm of the originals for an overtly ideological approach. For those seeking the raunchy non-woke irreverence of early-2000s comedies, this entry might prove a letdown.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

This film flips the original 'American Pie' formula by centering on four female leads, emphasizing gender swap over original comedic beats. In our view, characters’ identities take precedence over authentic personality or growth, and much of the plot is constructed to showcase empowerment rather than genuine coming-of-age chaos.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional gender roles are turned on their head, often mockingly, with masculinity mostly on the receiving end of jokes. The film places heavy emphasis on female solidarity and empowerment while subtly undermining the values, antics, and raw irreverence of the original 'American Pie' setup.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative or more traditional viewpoints barely register, and any dissenting perspectives are played for cheap laughs. It's clear the only 'acceptable' worldview is that of modern, empowered, intersectional femininity. Pluralism? Not invited to this party.
