What We Think

Hot Tub Time Machine is about as non-woke as Hollywood gets these days, raunchy, irreverent, and more interested in laughs than in lecturing. It offers viewers a throwback experience uncontaminated by the usual modern ideological fixations.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Hot Tub Time Machine prioritizes goofy comedy over agenda-driven storytelling. Characters are cast and depicted largely for comedic effect, with little emphasis on identity politics or ideological messaging impacting narrative flow. It’s more about outrageous situations than representation boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The movie mostly lampoons 1980s culture with crass humor, but it doesn’t strongly undermine traditional values or promote revisionist takes. The jokes and scenarios sometimes poke fun at masculinity or old-school attitudes, yet mainly for laughs without preachiness.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film isn't concerned with pushing a particular worldview. If anything, it’s a free-for-all of politically incorrect humor. Alternative views aren’t villainized because nobody’s taking much of anything seriously.
