What We Think

"The Minis" is your basic underdog sports comedy. It’s not out to lecture or rewrite the rules of society, it’s mostly goofy fun, not social commentary.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film centers on a basketball team of little people and features Dennis Rodman, but it doesn’t appear to inject modern identity politics or over-emphasize superficial traits over character growth. Casting seems motivated more by plot premise and comedic effect than ideological box-checking.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no strong evidence that the movie aims to undermine family, religion, or masculinity. It operates as a lighthearted sports comedy, mostly playing tropes for laughs without a cultural revisionist agenda.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn't seem to push one worldview or vilify traditional values. While some jokes may be outdated today, it wasn’t pushing the now-standard Hollywood monoculture back in 2009.
