What We Think

Hitch is a standard romantic comedy from a less 'woke' era: its focus on character chemistry and traditional relationship themes leaves little room for ideology. In an age when Hollywood often pushes identity above story, Hitch feels like a downright cultural throwback. Non-woke viewers can breathe easy.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Hitch stays focused on classic rom-com storytelling, with identity issues or overt ideological messaging playing virtually no role. The characters succeed (or fail) based on wit, charm, and genuine flaws, not just checklists of gender, race, or orientation. It’s refreshingly merit-based, with lots of believable personal growth.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film largely respects traditional relationship norms, highlighting masculinity, romance, and even some gentle mockery of male awkwardness without demonizing it. Family, faith, and cultural traditions are not subverted or mocked. If anything, the film promotes the classic pursuit of romance and self-improvement.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

No overt ideological monoculture here: the film avoids using villains as stand-ins for outdated worldviews or mocking tradition. There’s a diversity of personalities, but the range of views presented is typical for the genre, with no obvious anti-traditional messaging.
