In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

The Comebacks is just a goofy sports parody that doesn't dabble in modern woke trends. Its humor might be dated, but it mostly avoids the identity-obsessed pitfalls of recent Hollywood comedies.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Comebacks is a broad spoof comedy that doesn't prioritize ideological messaging over character or humor. Its jokes and gags generally arise from classic sports genre clichés rather than pushing identity politics or elevating identity over merit.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This film leans heavily into stereotypes for comedic effect, often poking fun at traditional masculinity, sports culture, and family dynamics, but it does so in a satirical rather than subversive manner. There's no agenda to undermine cultural norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film lampoons nearly everything, including itself, and doesn't take sides on modern ideological issues. Alternative viewpoints are not villainized; it's mostly about slapstick and over-the-top parody.
