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

Sgt. Bilko is decisively non-woke by modern standards. It’s pure silly comedy, unconcerned with identity politics or social preaching. Hollywood rarely makes ‘em like this anymore.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Sgt. Bilko is a classic 90s slapstick comedy, focused on the antics of its main character rather than modern identity politics. Casting and characterization are driven by the story, with no evidence of forced representation or tokenism. The humor and narrative come first.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film plays with military hierarchy and authority but doesn’t mock foundational values or traditions in any ideologically pointed way. Masculinity, family, and tradition are present mostly in service of lighthearted comedy, not as targets for subversion.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Sgt. Bilko doesn't push any modern ideological agenda. There's no talking down to viewers or caricatures of traditional perspectives. The film’s humor arises from universal human foibles, not worldview battles.
