No Strings Attached2011

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

No Strings Attached is your classic early 2010s rom-com, focused on quirky banter and relationship hijinks, not social engineering. It’s refreshingly low on the woke-o-meter compared to current Hollywood output; mostly, it tries to be cute and a bit cheeky, not a sermon in disguise.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film largely focuses on standard romantic comedy tropes with character arcs that are personality-driven rather than dictated by identity. There’s little evidence of casting or character decisions made for ideological reasons.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the movie features a more liberated approach to relationships, it doesn’t go out of its way to undermine family, religion, or masculinity. There’s some casual mockery of traditional romantic ideas, but nothing extreme by today’s standards.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are present, characters have different views on love, commitment, and career priorities. There’s the usual Hollywood irreverence, but white picket fence values aren’t totally villainized or absent.
