What We Think

"Sorority Boys" is far more interested in slapstick and crude comedy than woke messaging. It plays with gender for laughs but largely avoids heavy ideology, landing it in the low-woke category by modern standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

While "Sorority Boys" indulges in some gender-swap antics, the focus is more on crude humor than on pushing any identity-driven narrative. Characters are defined by personality quirks and antics rather than checkboxes. Forced representation and flawless empowerment arcs are virtually nonexistent.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional gender roles are played for laughs but not truly undermined or villainized. In fact, the film often reinforces common stereotypes, albeit in a tongue-in-cheek manner. There's certainly mockery, but it doesn't really elevate alternative values or demean traditional ones at a serious level.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is more interested in crude gags than ideological sermons. While it pokes fun at both men and women, there isn’t much of a pointed attack on traditional perspectives. Alternative or traditional worldviews aren’t presented with much depth, but neither are they demonized.
