What We Think

Seems Like Old Times is a classic, non-woke comedy where story and character come first. Themes stick to timeless relationship mishaps rather than pushing modern ideological points, making it refreshingly unburdened by contemporary agendas.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on classic comedic misunderstandings and character-driven humor. Casting choices and character roles fit the story and the era, with minimal emphasis on identity over personality or skill. No forced representation is apparent; the story centers on relationships and slapstick farce.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional gender roles and family dynamics are presented with a light, humorous touch. Masculinity, marriage, and professional life are all played for laughs but not subverted or ridiculed in an ideological sense. Cultural institutions like marriage are central without postmodern reinterpretation.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Some viewers may notice the film does not present a wide array of alternative perspectives, but this reflects its conventional focus rather than any modern agenda. Dissenting or traditional voices are played straight, without villainization.
