What We Think

Easy Money avoids today’s typical woke pitfalls, focusing on relatable blue-collar humor and character flaws instead of identity politics. A breath of non-woke air from early '80s Hollywood.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Easy Money" centers around a flawed but likable working-class male protagonist. The story develops from his personal vices and challenges, not from any identity-based agenda. There’s no notable forced representation or emphasis on identity politics; it’s character and comedic situations first.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film largely embraces traditional family, masculinity, and personal struggle. Any critique of these is played mostly for laughs rather than as a moral judgment. Religion and traditional values aren’t undermined but are woven into the protagonist’s journey.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are depicted as quirky, not villainous. There’s no attempt to paint traditional perspectives as evil or outdated; instead, the film pokes fun across social groups with equal opportunity humor. It’s hardly an echo chamber of modern ideology.
