What We Think

Despite being a cheeky political satire, “Dick” ages as a light, non-woke comedy. Its humor is more about bumbling bureaucrats than ideological preaching, making it a surprisingly safe bet for viewers weary of heavy-handed wokeness.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

“Dick” is primarily a satirical comedy that focuses on Watergate through the lens of two teenage girls. Its casting and character arcs aren’t anchored in modern identity politics, and the characters are defined by their quirks rather than as ideological pawns. The story remains mostly character-driven.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film pokes fun at authority figures and the Nixon administration, but it doesn’t go out of its way to attack traditional values or portray religion, family, or masculinity as inherently problematic. Its irreverence is comedic, not ideologically driven.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The movie mocks government corruption, but alternative viewpoints aren’t aggressively villainized, everyone in the political machine looks equally foolish. There’s broad satire but not an obvious enforcement of one modern worldview.
