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

A typical mid-tier Hollywood comedy where the drive for inclusivity often feels more obligatory than inspired. It jabs at tradition and rarely offers an earnest portrayal of alternative perspectives. Not the wokest film ever, but it hits almost every current talking point.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The film relies on a mix of identity-driven storylines and quippy modern family dysfunction. Some character choices, such as the handling of sexuality and race, feel more like box-checking than organic storytelling. At times, it appears narrative depth takes a back seat to making sure all ideological bases are covered.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The movie pokes fun at traditional family structures while elevating modern, progressive values. Masculinity gets the usual Hollywood side-eye, and themes like marriage and parenthood are portrayed with a heavy dose of irony or critique. Some viewers may see this as undermining cultural touchstones.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

There’s a noticeable lack of sincere representation of traditional worldviews. Characters espousing different values are often relegated to punchlines or presented as out of touch. The overall tone leans heavily toward a uniform, progressive ideology with little room for genuine pluralism.
