What We Think

For a Hollywood film, “Father Figures” is refreshingly low on woke points. It avoids the usual traps, no forced representation, no heavy-handed messages, just old-fashioned, messy family fun.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

“Father Figures” doesn’t seem to push characters based on identity, and the story focuses mostly on two brothers in a comedic search for their father. The emphasis remains on family hijinks and personal quirks, not modern ideology, so narrative integrity remains largely unscathed.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film pokes fun at some family dynamics, but overall, it’s a lighthearted look at brotherhood, masculinity, and paternity. There’s a bit of irreverence for tradition, but nothing that screams an agenda is at play.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no strong ideological preaching or villainization of traditional worldviews. The film sticks to a mainstream comedy formula without lecturing the audience on hot-button issues.
