What We Think

"Flirting with Disaster" keeps its focus on character-driven humor and relationship chaos, not woke ideology. Very low on the woke scale by today’s standards, just an offbeat comedy with a dash of 90s irreverence.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Flirting with Disaster" is primarily a quirky 90s comedy focused on personal relationships, family, and self-discovery. Characters are cast and written according to the needs of the story rather than to force representation, and their arcs are grounded and flawed. Ideological agendas appear minimal, with the emphasis staying on humor and human foibles.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film pokes fun at dysfunctional families and relationships, but doesn’t go out of its way to undermine traditional values or portray cultural foundations as backward. Humor occasionally brushes up against modern sensitivities, but overall it feels more interested in generating laughs than delivering any ideological lecture.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There’s certainly urban-90s irony at play, but dissenting or alternative outlooks aren’t simply villainized. The eccentric cast brings a range of perspectives, acknowledging different family structures and beliefs. No oppressive ideological monoculture here; the film is more about individual weirdness than group think.
