What We Think

For all its faults, 'Nothing but Trouble' is blissfully free of modern woke ideology. It’s more interested in bizarre screwball antics than making any political or cultural points, about as non-woke as you’ll find from Hollywood, even if the film itself is a chaotic mess.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Nothing but Trouble' feels like a product of its era, focusing on fairly standard characters and bizarre plot rather than shoehorning in modern ideological themes. Characters are defined by personality rather than identity checkboxes, and narrative wackiness comes from slapstick, not political motives.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There's not much in the way of social commentary here, if anything, traditional authority figures are mocked more for comedic effect than as some grand statement. Masculinity, religion, and family aren’t subverted or glorified, they’re mostly just there to serve surreal, absurd comedy.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Ideological messages are basically nonexistent. Any ‘villains’ are cartoonishly weird rather than thinly veiled allegories for social groups. There's no agenda or push for ideological uniformity, it’s a strange ride with no lesson beyond 'don’t take weird detours.'
