What We Think

'Father of the Year' barely registers on the woke scale, just your typical, rowdy comedy with traditional family dysfunction, frat-level humor, and no forced ideological sermonizing. Non-woke audiences, rejoice!

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

In our view, 'Father of the Year' sticks mostly to classic dude-bro comedy, with little focus on race, gender, or sexuality dictating character arcs. The humor is crude, but the storytelling remains centered around character flaws and personal growth, not ideological statements.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This film treats family bonds, particularly the father-son relationship, and traditional masculinity as sources of both comedy and redemption, with no undermining moralizing or attack on cultural institutions. If anything, it leans into blue-collar values without apology.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no heavy-handed agenda here; traditional, working-class worldviews are presented (and yes, mocked, but lovingly), and alternative lifestyles aren’t centers of attention or sources of derision. No one is vilified for having traditional views either.
