What We Think

‘Smiley Face’ is refreshingly low on ‘wokeness’ by modern standards, focusing on comedy rather than contemporary ideological concerns. For those weary of Hollywood’s current trends, this is a non-woke gem.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Smiley Face' is a stoner comedy centered on a bumbling, relatable female protagonist. The film’s focus is on humor and absurdity, not identity politics. Representation and diversity are not forced or used at the expense of character or story.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The movie plays with counterculture themes typical of stoner comedies, but doesn’t take deliberate swings at traditional values or actively undermine cultural institutions. There’s irreverence, but it’s fairly standard for the genre and era.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no overt ideological preaching or demonization of differing viewpoints. The humor is broad and more concerned with slapstick than pushing a specific worldview. Alternative perspectives aren’t mocked or villainized.
