What We Think

Coyote Ugly is about as non-woke as early-2000s popcorn movies get, flashy, a little cheesy, and more interested in catchy songs than in lecturing the audience. If you’re seeking a film that’s light on ideology and heavy on escapism, this one fits the bill.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Coyote Ugly focuses on individual ambition, personal growth, and romance without shoehorning in identity politics. Characters are mostly cast and developed based on narrative fit, and personal journey takes precedence over ideological concerns. It’s more of a raucous coming-of-age story than an ideological statement.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film ups the sex appeal and independence of its female characters, but traditional values like family, romance, and hard work are never really mocked or undermined. Masculinity is portrayed positively, and there isn't an explicit attempt to subvert cultural foundations or rewrite history.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While modern for its time, the film doesn’t villainize tradition or dissent. Worldviews outside the pursuit of fame and romance are barely touched, but there’s little agenda-pushing or bias against non-woke perspectives. It’s largely apolitical and fun-focused.
