What We Think

“Down to You” is about as non-woke as it gets. It’s a basic, unthreatening romcom from the era before Hollywood discovered ‘woke’ checklists. Nothing to see here but typical turn-of-the-millennium melodrama.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

“Down to You” is a conventional early-2000s romantic comedy, focusing on a straight college couple’s love story. Identity traits don’t overshadow personality or skill, and characters fit naturally into the world. No agenda visibly hijacks the plot.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film depicts pretty traditional values: romance, love, family, and some innocent college antics. Masculinity is not under assault, and traditional gender roles aren’t subverted for ideology. The film actually leans into classic tropes more than anything else.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren’t particularly mocked, but there’s not much representation of pluralism either, it just centers on pretty standard relationships, with no overt agenda or caricaturing of dissent.
