The Ridiculous 62015

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 Ridiculous 6 makes little effort to be ‘woke.’ Its approach is more about lowbrow humor than ideological messaging. For those tired of modern Hollywood’s lectures, this is about as non-woke as recent mainstream comedies get.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film’s casting and storylines seem primarily aimed at slapstick and absurdity, without overt identity politics shoehorned in. Characters are caricatures, but not in a way that pushes modern ideological preferences. Representation appears incidental to the comedic tone.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

If anything, the film leans into irreverence and parody, but it doesn’t target traditional religion, family, or masculinity in any pointed ideological way. In fact, it often lampoons everyone equally, sticking to crude humor.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There isn’t much room for ideology among the toilet jokes and broad parodies. If anything, the movie could be accused of insensitivity rather than towing a strict ideological line. Alternative perspectives are mostly absent because the film isn’t interested in having any serious perspective at all.
