What We Think

Herbie Rides Again is about as non-woke as Hollywood ever gets. The biggest offense here might be sentient cars, not progressive lectures. It’s safe, light-hearted, and refreshingly unburdened by ideology.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Herbie Rides Again is a classic family comedy where the story stays focused on whimsical adventures, not identity politics. The characters are cast for story needs, with little attention to modern representation trends. Narrative integrity is fully intact here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This film celebrates family, community, and perseverance without any snark aimed at traditional values, masculinity, or faith. There's nothing here that subverts or mocks longstanding cultural norms. It’s as wholesome as it gets.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s barely a hint of ideological messaging. Alternative viewpoints or traditional characters aren’t caricatured. The world of Herbie is delightfully free of modern social commentary, imagine that.
