Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Mr. Mom puts story and character at the forefront, showing a humorous, relatable situation without fixating on identity politics. Casting choices and character arcs serve the plot, not contemporary ideology. Any role changes are played for laughs, not lectures.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film pokes fun at shifting gender roles, it ultimately upholds family values and traditional dynamics. Masculinity isn’t demonized; if anything, both parents’ contributions are validated. No overt effort at rewriting traditions or undermining classic cultural touchstones.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s room for jokes about traditional roles, but the film doesn’t mock, villainize, or exclude those with a more traditional worldview. Both modern and classic attitudes are represented with affection and nuance, not caricature.
