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

Old-school comedy with no 'woke' trappings. Traditional marriage values, clear gender roles, and zero sign of forced representation. This film is the antithesis of modern Hollywood’s usual ideological bent.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is a straightforward comedy about a Midwestern couple facing mishaps in New York City. Characters are grounded in personality and plot, not identity politics. No shoehorned representation or ideological priorities seem evident for its era.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional marriage and family are central, and neither religion, masculinity, nor cultural traditions are undermined. If anything, the narrative gently pokes fun at urban chaos, not foundational values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no discernible mocking of dissenting views, and the story doesn’t push a singular ideological perspective. Everyone’s in on the joke, regardless of background.
