In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

"Meet the Browns" is about as non-woke as it gets these days: it values faith, family, and tradition, with zero interest in pushing modern ideological agendas. A rare sighting of a Hollywood film that's more Sunday service than woke sermon.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on relatable family struggles, faith, and personal growth rather than pushing an identity-driven agenda. Characters are given distinct personalities, believable flaws, and real arcs. Forced representation and tokenism are absent, as the narrative springs organically from the setting and characters' lived experiences.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Faith, family, traditional gender roles, and moral values are front and center here. The story highlights the importance of family support, responsibility, and redemption. Masculinity and femininity are both respected within culturally grounded frameworks. No revisionist subversions to see here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film embraces its own viewpoint, centered on traditional values, faith, and family, it presents these as natural and heartfelt rather than as lectures. Various characters grapple with temptation and tough choices, so there's a bit of pluralism, not just a single, flat worldview.
