What We Think

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Home Alone 2 stays true to its mischievous, slapstick roots. The focus is firmly on Kevin's resourcefulness and family dynamics, not identity politics. Casting and character motivations rely on classic archetypes rather than checking boxes, giving us pure childhood adventure instead of forced messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family, forgiveness, and even a bit of Christmas spirit are at the heart of the story. Masculinity and parental roles aren’t mocked or subverted; in fact, they’re often the driving force to reunite the family. No ideological revisionism to see here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no noticeable ideological push. Characters with various backgrounds are present, but none are used to caricature alternatives, and the film’s comedy isn’t at anyone’s expense for holding non-woke views. It’s just a fun, chaotic holiday tale.
