What We Think

'Made of Honor' is a pretty textbook example of an old-school romantic comedy, think less 'woke' and more '2000s nostalgia.' Identity politics and ideological messaging take a backseat to classic romantic tropes. Traditional values aren't subverted, making this one of the least woke entries you’re likely to come across from Hollywood in the last two decades.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

In our view, 'Made of Honor' sticks closely to the traditional romantic comedy formula. Character traits focus much more on personality and relationship dynamics than on identity categories. Forced representation is essentially absent, and plot beats are driven by interpersonal tension and chemistry rather than ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This film leans heavily on classic notions of romance, friendship, and commitment. Masculinity and femininity are portrayed in traditionally familiar ways. Family, marriage, and long-standing romantic tropes are played straight, with little subversion or revisionism evident within the story.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

'Made of Honor' does not appear to villainize traditional perspectives or exclude alternative worldviews. If anything, it indulges in rom-com clichés without injecting overt moral lecturing. Most characters are depicted as regular people navigating relationships, not as vehicles for ideology.
