What We Think

Nancy Drew (2007) steers clear of the usual Hollywood wokeness, delivering a straightforward, family-friendly adventure with minimal agenda. While it updates a classic character for a contemporary audience, it does so without heavy-handed messaging or forced representation. Practically an endangered species these days.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Nancy Drew (2007) grounds its story in classic sleuth tropes with a clear focus on the protagonist’s intelligence and determination, not her identity. While led by a capable female character, it doesn’t feel forced or ideologically driven. Characterization is rooted in archetypes, not identity politics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This film largely respects family values, traditional gender roles (at least by modern standards), and presents the nuclear family positively. There's no overt attempt to undermine foundational cultural ideas; it's a relatively wholesome and respectful update of a classic property.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little indication of ideological monoculture. It doesn’t overtly mock or villainize traditional views, and characters hold diverse personalities. The film remains mostly apolitical and focuses on the mystery, not on delivering a modern moral message.
