What We Think

Larger Than Life is classic 90s family fare, completely free from modern woke tropes. If you're looking for a non-woke comedy road trip film that everyone can enjoy (and doesn't lecture you), this elephant-sized romp fits the bill perfectly.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This 1996 comedy, starring Bill Murray and an elephant, focuses on a quirky, character-driven journey. There's little emphasis on present-day identity politics or forced diversity casting. The story is mostly about Murray's character and his wacky road trip predicament.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn't aim to undermine traditional values or portray religion, masculinity, or family life negatively. It's a slapstick family-friendly comedy where culture wars hardly register, and social commentary is virtually nonexistent.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There are no overt ideological messages or dogma. The movie's comedic tone sticks with universal themes, and alternative viewpoints are not unfairly mocked or villainized , they're simply not part of the plot.
