What We Think

Senseless is a time capsule of late-90s irreverence, more concerned with cheap laughs than lectures. If you’re worried about a film being woke, this one’s about as non-woke as it gets, don’t expect much more than physical gags and gross-out humor.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Senseless is a broad comedy that relies more on slapstick and situational humor than on ideological messaging. Character identities are mostly used for comic effect, not as moral platforms or abstract symbols, so there is little evidence of narrative being compromised by political correctness or forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes such as family, masculinity, and ambition play out in fairly mainstream, late-90s ways. There's no strong attempt to undermine cultural norms or rewrite social foundations. The jokes may be a bit edgy for today’s standards, but overall it sticks to conventional comedic setups.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn't engage in much cultural debate or villainize dissenting worldviews; it cares more about slapstick than pushing an agenda. If anything, its worldview is so loose and apolitical that there's not much monoculture to critique at all.
