What We Think

'Just Go with It' is about as non-woke as you can get for a modern Hollywood romantic comedy. The film sticks to proven romcom formulas with little more than slapstick, misunderstandings, and Adam Sandler’s signature antics, no ideological grandstanding in sight.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film primarily focuses on traditional comedic romance without shoehorning modern ideological points. Characters are mostly believable and cast for fitting the story, not as demographic boxes to check off. There's little evidence of forced representation or narrative sacrifices for politics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

'Just Go with It' actually embraces traditional themes: family, romantic relationships, and humor rooted in classic dynamics. Masculinity, femininity, and family aren't undermined or lampooned for being 'old-fashioned.' The movie's values are rooted in straightforward romcom territory.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is hardly interested in ideology, its worldview is more escapist than agenda-driven. There aren’t caricatures of traditional or dissenting views; it’s mostly lighthearted fun without heavy-handed messaging or monolithic moralizing.
