Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This 1933 comedy prioritizes story and character-based humor over any sort of identity-driven theme. Character roles and relationships are played for laughs, not for messaging. There is no evidence of forced diversity or political focus in the casting or writing.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional gender roles and family dynamics are front and center, often exaggerated for comedic effect but certainly not undermined. Masculinity, marriage, and morality remain intact and unchallenged, except by the boys’ own comedic flaws.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no modern ideological messaging. The film reflects the norms and cultural attitudes of its time, without mocking or villainizing traditional perspectives. Any conflict is personal or slapstick, not political.
