What We Think

A classic rom-com with little to no 'woke' influence. "Look Who's Talking" is more interested in gags and charming performances than delivering ideological messages, making it a very non-woke, apolitical watch by today’s standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Look Who's Talking" keeps its narrative focused on humor and the novelty of a talking baby perspective. There’s little to suggest ideological themes outweigh the story. Most characters are cast in a way that reflects Hollywood convention of the time, with no overt emphasis on identity factors over character or plot.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film lightly jokes about family structure (single motherhood, absent father) but ultimately upholds family and parental values. Masculinity, motherhood, and traditional relationships are presented without cynicism, and religious or cultural traditions are mostly respected or just not referenced.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are not a major concern—the film is a light romantic comedy that doesn’t seriously villainize or promote any ideology. There’s no overt mocking or caricaturing of traditional perspectives; the movie stays focused on universal comedic themes.
