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

Dirty Grandpa doesn’t really play the woke game. If anything, its humor aims to offend everyone equally and doesn’t push any modern ideological boundaries. While not a bastion of wholesome values, it’s hardly an example of woke Hollywood either.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Dirty Grandpa is more concerned with crude comedy than ideological messaging. If anything, its character development is traditional, with no forced representation or identity-first casting. The film's main focus is on raunchy humor and generational conflict, not woke agendas.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film plays heavily on traditionally masculine and family themes, often using irreverence or mockery, but not in a way that targets masculinity, religion, or family for subversion. Old-school values are perhaps caricatured, but not demonized or replaced with new dogmas.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Dirty Grandpa is hardly a vehicle for ideological monoculture, if anything, it’s irreverent to all sides. Traditional attitudes and alternative lifestyles alike are lampooned equally. There’s no real sense of exclusion or demonization of dissenting views in its comedic approach.
