What We Think

‘The 40 Year Old Virgin’ is refreshingly non-woke by modern Hollywood standards. It prioritizes laughs and real character development over ham-fisted messaging. For those bothered by Hollywood’s more recent trends, this film feels like a breath of fresh air.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on comedy and character-driven storytelling rather than pushing any ideological message. Characters are written for laughs and realism, not political checkboxes. Representation is organic and secondary to the story.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional ideas around masculinity, romance, and even awkwardness are played straight for comedic effect. Family, relationships, and finding love aren’t mocked or subverted, if anything, their value is reinforced through the central plot.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While humor can veer into politically incorrect territory, it’s done in a spirit of equal-opportunity ribbing. Multiple perspectives and personalities are represented without preachiness or vilifying traditional attitudes.
