What We Think

‘Our Idiot Brother’ stays mostly non-woke, focusing on human flaws rather than political messaging. It’s more about quirky family chaos than social engineering. Refreshingly chill for Hollywood standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Our Idiot Brother' is largely character-driven and focuses on familial relationships rather than ticking diversity boxes. Characters are quirky but grounded, with their personalities and growth central to the plot rather than their demographic attributes. There’s little evidence of forced representation or narrative sacrificed for ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film does poke fun at some family dynamics and traditional roles, but it treats family bonds with a measure of respect. Traditional values aren’t aggressively mocked, the focus is more on the foibles of all characters than on undermining cultural pillars.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the story leans a bit liberal in flavor, it doesn’t go out of its way to villainize alternative viewpoints. The characters, though progressive, aren’t placed in a vacuum; there’s a mix of perspectives among the siblings and their partners.
