What We Think

A quintessential early '90s family comedy, “Honey, I Blew Up the Kid” has barely a whiff of modern wokeness. It keeps things wholesome, fun, and refreshingly non-political, making it a nearly extinct specimen in today’s Hollywood climate.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film's narrative focuses on family hijinks, science mishaps, and classic comedic misunderstandings. It doesn't emphasize identity politics or shoehorn modern ideological themes at the expense of plot or character development. Motivation and arcs remain character-driven, not ideology-driven.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family dynamics, parental responsibility, and the classic nuclear family are front and center. There’s some mild reversal of traditional roles for comedic effect, but nothing that appears to undermine faith, morality, or masculine traits in any substantial or agenda-driven way.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is a product of its time: light-hearted and unconcerned with pushing any singular worldview. There are no obvious caricatures of dissent or attempts to villainize traditional beliefs. It's simply a straightforward family comedy without cultural preaching.
