What We Think

The Comedy of Terrors is about as non-woke as they come. It’s a relic of a bygone era where storytelling, not identity politics, was king. Consider this classic safe from 21st-century Hollywood trendiness.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s virtually no evidence that narrative was sacrificed for modern ideological themes. Characters are cast and developed for comedic effect, not to serve identity checklists. The storyline prioritizes traditional comedic tropes over any 'woke' messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film relies on traditional notions of family (however dysfunctional), masculinity, and classic morality tales, even if played for laughs. It's firmly rooted in old-school comedy, with no obvious attempt to subvert cultural foundations or critique tradition.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Different worldviews are presented through the eccentric cast. There’s no clear push for ideological uniformity, and dissent or tradition isn’t caricatured. Any offenses are more in the spirit of slapstick than social commentary.
