In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Get Hard is about as far from 'woke' as mainstream comedies get these days. It’s arguably more likely to offend modern sensibilities than appease them, poking fun at stereotypes rather than enforcing a progressive message.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Get Hard mostly relies on crude humor and outlandish scenarios, with character traits and casting decisions focused more on comedic effect than pushing any ideological narrative. Identity factors play into the plot for jokes, but narrative integrity isn't really sacrificed for 'woke' ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film leans heavily into traditional stereotypes and jokes about masculinity, race, and class. It doesn't subvert traditional roles, instead, it awkwardly highlights them for comedic shock. There's no significant undermining or modern revisionism here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Diverse viewpoints play out for laughs, sometimes even toeing into politically incorrect territory. Alternate perspectives are represented, albeit via parody and stereotype rather than sermons, and no one worldview dominates.
