In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

A refreshingly non-woke film by today's standards, City Slickers II keeps to old-school comedic adventure without ideological baggage. This is the kind of crowd-pleaser Hollywood rarely makes anymore.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

City Slickers II maintains a traditional comedic adventure without shoehorning identity politics or modern ideological trends. Characters are consistent with realistic development based on their personalities and not defined mainly by protected traits. Nothing feels forced.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film largely embraces classic themes like friendship, masculinity, and family responsibility. Masculine traits and camaraderie are celebrated rather than subverted, and there's no attempt to rewrite or mock traditional values. This movie could practically be a time capsule of pre-woke Hollywood.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints are presented mainly through comic relief and generational differences, not as strawmen or caricatures. There isn't a dominant modern moral message, so the film avoids the groupthink seen in many contemporary movies.
