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

A product of early-70s irreverence, this film satirizes social taboos without pushing a modern agenda. By today’s standards, it’s remarkably non-woke, a relic from when comedy came before ideology.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on comedy and satire rather than ideological messaging. Characters are developed for humor, and identity factors like race, gender, or sexuality aren’t emphasized over personality or comedic circumstance. Representation appears incidental, not forced or agenda-driven, typical for a film of its era.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film pokes fun at sexual mores and stereotypes, its irreverence is spread broadly, and it largely reflects the cultural attitudes of its time. There’s little evidence of an agenda to systematically undermine traditional values; instead, it lampoons all sides fairly equally.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film’s humor is politically incorrect by modern standards, parodying a range of perspectives. It does not push a particular ideological monoculture as current woke media often does, instead relying on broad satire and playful mockery.
