Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Over Her Dead Body sticks to classic rom-com tropes without shoehorning in forced representation or prioritizing identity over story. Characters are driven more by personality, relationships, and comedic mishaps than by ideology, keeping narrative integrity mostly intact.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film presents fairly traditional views on romance, family, and gender roles, if anything, it's a throwback. Masculinity and femininity aren’t subverted, and faith or tradition aren’t mocked. Any attempts at edginess stay firmly in the realm of light comedy rather than social critique.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is little evidence of ideological monoculture. The characters face off due to personal and romantic reasons, not politics or ideology. Diverse viewpoints aren’t mocked or villainized because they’re not really present or relevant.
