What We Think

Diary of a Wimpy Kid is refreshingly non-woke, sticking to the basics of coming-of-age comedy without layering in modern ideological messaging. It focuses on relatable, lighthearted fun rather than box-ticking or lecturing.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The story stays true to the original books and focuses on relatable childhood struggles rather than identity-based ideology. Characters are portrayed according to their personalities and quirks, with no significant emphasis on forced representation or checking boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family, friendship, and coming-of-age are front and center. Masculinity and femininity are played for comedic effect without pushing any agenda. The film acknowledges awkwardness in growing up, but doesn't attempt to rewire cultural norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The humor and conflict stem from misunderstandings and childhood antics, not ideology. There's no real push for a particular worldview, and different personalities are shown with their flaws and redeeming qualities.
