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 Do-Over" is, by today's standards, a rare non-woke comedy. It puts entertainment and absurdity ahead of political messaging or forced representation, a relic of the pre-woke comedy era.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"The Do-Over" focuses on buddy comedy and over-the-top antics rather than pushing identity-based casting or ideological themes. Characters fit familiar comedic archetypes, with little evidence of forced diversity or narrative sacrifice for modern ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film largely sticks to traditional themes, masculinity, friendship, and the classic midlife crisis. Jokes may be crude but don't actively seek to undermine family, faith, or masculinity in any significant way. Expect a throwback attitude rather than social critique.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative or traditional viewpoints are present without being mocked or villainized. The humor is inclusive of everyone’s flaws and doesn't prioritize a single worldview; it's more interested in slapstick than social sermons.
