What We Think

'Angels in the Outfield' is remarkably non-woke by today’s Hollywood standards. It’s optimistic, faith-driven, and refreshingly free from the forced ideological flourishes modern viewers have come to expect. The story is earnest and character-driven, with a sincere respect for classic values.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on family, faith, and personal growth, with characters defined by their actions and personalities rather than identity politics. It doesn’t pander to modern checklists or sacrifice storytelling for ideology. Its casting and character development feel organic and true to the story’s themes rather than box-checking.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Religion, family, and the notion of redemption are central to the film. Traditional values like belief in miracles, fatherhood, and teamwork come through, with no noticeable modern revisionism or subversion. The film reflects a classic moral sensibility without sneering at its foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren’t mocked, the film encourages faith and hope, presenting them positively. There’s no caricaturing of tradition or dissenting values, and the tone doesn’t assume a single, modern moral worldview. It avoids the 'everyone-thinks-the-same-way' pitfall of modern Hollywood.
