I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry2007

In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Far from a woke manifesto, this 2007 comedy only plays with identity politics for laughs. It’s clumsy and crude but not agenda-driven; most would find it almost quaint by today’s standards of ideological messaging.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

While the premise involves two straight men pretending to be gay, the film generally uses this for broad comedy rather than ideological point-scoring. Characters are not written simply to check identity boxes, and the story is largely character-driven, albeit silly.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional masculinity, family, and friendship are central, if lampooned. Some jokes at the expense of both straight and gay culture are present, but the movie doesn’t go out of its way to undermine traditional values or rewrite cultural norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s actually a variety of viewpoints represented, even if mostly for comedy. Traditional and progressive perspectives both get lampooned, and the film pokes fun at everyone rather than driving home a singular ideological message.
