What We Think

'Man About Town' is refreshingly non-woke, sticking to classic storytelling about flawed individuals. Its focus is on personal relationships and redemption, not on checking ideological boxes. Definitely one of the less woke offerings from the Hollywood crowd.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Man About Town' tells a straightforward story focused on character flaws and personal growth without forcing identity themes. There's little emphasis on representation for its own sake, and casting appears driven by story relevance rather than checking boxes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like family, marriage, and personal responsibility are central and not mocked or subverted. Masculine traits aren't lampooned or pathologized, and the film sticks to relatable, classic struggles rather than rewriting cultural ideas.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is mainly a personal drama with some comedic elements. There's no obvious elevation of modern ideological perspectives or heavy-handed critique of dissenting viewpoints, characters come off as genuine individuals rather than mouthpieces for an agenda.
