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 Hottie & The Nottie isn’t aiming for social commentary, instead, it clings to dated Hollywood clichés and shallow romance. Woke viewers may cringe, but fans of non-woke content will find it virtually untouched by modern trends.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This film’s narrative is centered on superficial romantic comedy tropes, there’s little forced representation or identity-first casting. The characters are flat, but that’s from weak writing, not ideology. Identity isn’t the focus.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The movie actually embraces tired gender stereotypes and traditional dating dynamics, rather than subverting cultural or moral foundations. It almost feels like a relic from the early 2000s, blissfully unaware of modern social-justice trends.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

If anything, it’s a one-note celebration of conventional attractiveness. Alternative worldviews are ignored, but not villainized, and there’s no discernible ideological messaging.
