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

Queenpins plays into some current Hollywood habits, quirky representation, snarky jabs at tradition, and a narrative that steers clear of pluralism. While it's not the wokest film in the lineup, it's notable for its safe, one-note worldview and casual dismissal of classic values.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

While Queenpins features identity-based casting and some broad character stereotypes, the main focus remains on comedic crime capers rather than explicit ideological messaging. Character personalities occasionally take a back seat, but the film largely sticks to populist comedy over preachy narratives.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

There is a sense that traditional norms are sidelined, with family and traditional authority figures portrayed more for laughs than as admirable. Still, the film doesn't go out of its way to lambast or rewrite cultural foundations entirely, settling mostly for satire.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

The movie glances at class and gender themes but rarely challenges the popular modern narrative. Dissenting perspectives exist mainly as comedic foils rather than as sincere or well-developed viewpoints, so it's far from balanced but not at the most extreme end of the woke spectrum.
