What We Think

"Freaky Friday" (1976) is refreshingly non-woke, with a focus on timeless family themes and very little that would set off the modern woke radar. Harmless, earnest fun all around.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The 1976 "Freaky Friday" largely avoids modern identity politics. Characterization is based on personality and family roles, no forced diversity or heavy-handed ideology to derail the story. The film’s charm stems from misunderstandings and generational gap humor rather than checking demographic boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Family dynamics are front and center, and traditional roles are gently poked fun at, not outright subverted. The film explores empathy between mother and daughter but never mocks masculinity, religion, or traditional values in any significant way.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film shows a fairly homogeneous worldview, it reflects the time period rather than pushing a unifying ideology. Alternative worldviews aren’t really present, but it isn’t because the film is pushing any modern ideological consensus.
