What We Think

'Fools Rush In' is a refreshingly non-woke romantic comedy by modern standards. It tells its cross-cultural story with respect for tradition, genuine character flaws, and avoids modern identity lecturing. Pretty safe by today’s standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on a classic romantic comedy plot centered around cultural misunderstandings and personal growth. While it features a biracial couple, their backgrounds serve the story organically rather than feeling shoehorned in for identity politics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

'Fools Rush In' largely reinforces traditional values such as family, marriage, and religion. If anything, the film respects cultural differences and shows families trying to uphold their beliefs, not undermine them.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s a genuine clash of values and perspectives, not a sanitized, one-sided moral viewpoint. Both Mexican and American family traditions are shown with nuance, not mockery or demonization.
