What We Think

Dennis the Menace is about as non-woke as Hollywood gets these days. It’s a simple family comedy with no ideological axes to grind. Its respect for traditional values and avoidance of modern soapboxing make it a breath of fresh air.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This classic comedy keeps its focus on timeless childhood mischief rather than trying to score any ideological points. Characters are cast and written for charm and plausibility, not to fulfill diversity quotas or promote social commentary. Nothing feels forced or shoehorned for representation value.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film freely celebrates family, parenting, and traditional values. Masculinity and femininity are played straight-up, and classic family dynamics are the heart of the story. There’s no rewriting of history or culture here, just good, old-fashioned hijinks and respect for the home.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives aren’t mocked or villainized; in fact, there’s little ideology to be found at all. The story is purely about Dennis’s troublemaking and the classic grumpy neighbor dynamic. No effort to install a preachy modern worldview, just fun for all ages.
