What We Think

'Good Kids' is your standard raunchy teen comedy, more concerned with laughs and awkward moments than pushing any woke agenda. Traditional family dynamics and worldviews aren't systematically undermined, and identity politics are left at the door. Pretty far from a woke minefield.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Good Kids' focuses on universal coming-of-age themes with characters whose personalities and flaws drive the plot, not identity factors. Casting and story choices appear driven more by the standard teen comedy formula than ideological motives.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film explores teenage rebellion and self-discovery but doesn’t overtly attack tradition, family, or masculinity. It may poke fun at adult authority, like most in its genre, but doesn’t come across as an ideologically motivated subversion of cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative and traditional perspectives aren’t demonized; instead, the focus stays on the awkwardness and trials of teenage life. There’s little evidence of heavy-handed moralizing or overt ideological messaging. The film plays it straight within its coming-of-age template.
