What We Think

“Take the Money and Run” is as non-woke as it gets. Comedy is center stage, with no forced representation, no agenda-driven subplots, and no lectures, just slapstick crime and gags from another era. A total palate cleanser from today’s Hollywood trends.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is a classic slapstick comedy focused on inept crime, not ideology. Characters are quirky but primarily for humor, not to tick identity checkboxes. There's no emphasis on politics, diversity, or token representation. Narrative and humor steer the ship, not social messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no obvious attack on family, faith, or traditional values. The movie’s jokes target the absurd itself, without tearing down gender roles or cultural heritage. Masculinity and femininity, such as they appear, are just part of the farce, not reimagined to fit a modern agenda.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints, if present at all, are played for equal-opportunity laughs. The film doesn’t push a dominant ideological worldview or villainize tradition. The humor is pretty apolitical, just pure, old-school comedy without a lecture in sight.
