What We Think

'The Hating Game' stays refreshingly non-woke for a modern rom-com, more interested in sexual tension than social justice. Great news for anyone tired of Hollywood’s usual virtue signaling.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'The Hating Game' is primarily a rom-com focused on witty dialogue and relationship dynamics, with little evidence that it prioritizes identity politics over storytelling. Casting appears merit-based, and characters have genuine flaws and growth.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional romance and gender roles are largely intact, with classic enemies-to-lovers chemistry. While the female lead is ambitious, it doesn't come at the expense of mocking masculinity or family values. There’s no clear subversion of tradition.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints aren't villainized or mocked. The film's world focuses on universal romantic and workplace themes rather than overt political or ideological statements. Diversity messaging is minimal and unobtrusive.
