What We Think

Psych: The Movie is refreshingly non-woke, sticking to its roots with clever banter and nostalgia instead of ideological box-checking. Traditional values and humor take center stage, offering a reprieve from Hollywood’s typical trends.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Psych: The Movie maintains the quirky character-driven humor from the series, focusing on personalities, wit, and the established friendship between Shawn and Gus. There is no discernible shoehorning of identity-based representation or over-focus on modern identity politics. The plot remains true to the spirit of classic detective comedies.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film presents traditional values: friendship, family ties, and loyalty. Masculinity, humor, and traditional dynamics are played for laughs without ridicule or forced subversion. Faith, tradition, and familial themes are acknowledged without mockery or revisionism. Nothing here screams 'agenda.'

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There are no obvious ideological purity tests, nor are dissenting worldviews villainized. The humor is broad, poking fun at both the leads and their foibles, without targeting traditional perspectives for ridicule. Ideological plurality isn't necessarily highlighted, but neither is it pointedly missing.
