What We Think

‘The Best Man Holiday’ refreshingly keeps its focus on authentic relationships, family, and faith, avoiding heavy-handed woke narratives. It’s more of a heartfelt reunion than a soapbox, and it largely steers clear of forced messaging.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The story centers on longstanding friendships, family, faith, and personal growth, with character arcs that feel natural and earned. Emphasis is on drama rooted in relationships, not checking ideological boxes. Casting reflects continuity from the original film, not forced diversity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film generally portrays faith, masculinity, and family values in a sympathetic light. Key characters are driven by faith, and traditional relationships are central. If anything, the film leans into, not away from, classic cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There’s no overt mocking of traditional values or real push for modern ideological conformity. Characters have their flaws and differences, with room for moral debate. There's some modernity, but alternative perspectives aren’t caricatured or villainized.
