What We Think

‘The Internship’ is a refreshingly non-woke comedy by today’s Hollywood standards. The emphasis is on humor, underdog spirit, and traditional character growth rather than ideologically-driven messaging, making it a pretty safe bet for those weary of agenda-first storytelling.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The narrative largely focuses on the comedic journey of two middle-aged men navigating tech culture. Character arcs are driven by personal growth and merit rather than identity politics or forced diversity. The film doesn’t appear to sacrifice story for modern ideological themes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Family, hard work, and traditional values are presented fairly positively. Masculinity is depicted in a lighthearted manner rather than being undermined or pathologized. There's little evidence of cultural revisionism or subversion of tradition.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film leans into some modern tech stereotypes but still gives room for a variety of characters and perspectives. Traditional and alternative viewpoints are often played for laughs but not outright villainized or mocked in a mean-spirited way.
