Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film’s story is largely character-driven and plot-focused rather than being designed to check identity boxes. Characters' personalities, flaws, and motivations are front and center. There’s no overt emphasis on diversity for its own sake.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional gender roles and concepts of romance are played mostly straight, albeit with some comedic exaggeration. Masculinity and femininity are lampooned lightly, but there is no feeling of a deeper ideological message subverting traditional values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While both leads are modern career-driven individuals, the film includes a variety of personalities and motivations. There’s little overt moralizing, and alternative viewpoints aren’t excessively mocked or villainized. Debate and pluralism are present in the romantic escapades.
