Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

The film maintains strong narrative integrity, focusing on character-driven humor and romance without prioritizing identity politics. Casting and character arcs adhere to the story’s era and worldview, showing minimal interest in today’s ideological trends.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional gender roles, marriage, and family are treated earnestly and even celebrated, with no real attempt to undermine or satirize these foundations. Masculinity, femininity, and classic courtship are core themes throughout, depicted without apology.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little evidence of ideological monoculture. While the characters reflect the social norms of the time, traditional values aren’t mocked, and there’s no overt caricature of alternative perspectives. The film sticks to classic comedic conflict, not politics.
