The Layover2017

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 Layover is more interested in crude humor and love triangle slapstick than in any sort of woke messaging. If you’re worried about ideology overtaking comedy, this film is refreshingly focused on juvenile gags, not lecturing.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Layover sticks to a conventional comedy plot with two female friends fighting over the same guy. Identity politics are not central: the story focuses on romance and slapstick humor, rather than pushing ideology, so narrative integrity is mostly intact.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film pokes fun at both genders, it largely relies on traditional gender roles and comedic rivalry. There’s mild subversion for laughs, but nothing overtly seeking to undermine cultural or moral foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is little evidence of ideological preaching or monoculture. The film avoids heavy-handed portrayals of modern political stances and doesn’t go out of its way to villainize traditional perspectives.
