The To Do List2013

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

While not aggressively woke by modern Hollywood standards, 'The To Do List' still checks many boxes, prioritizing modern sexual mores over nuance, brushing off tradition, and presenting a fairly one-sided worldview. A middle-of-the-road offender, but unmistakably on the spectrum.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The film’s coming-of-age premise is more interested in turning awkwardness into raunchy comedy than pushing explicit ideology. However, it does place significant emphasis on a young woman breaking taboos, with themes occasionally prioritized over realistic character growth or stakes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional values, like restraint, family involvement, and religious morality, are mostly played for laughs or brushed aside. Masculinity and femininity are often presented through an inverted, hyper-modern lens, with parental and social expectations conveniently minimized.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative, more traditional perspectives get little representation, aside from being comedic foils. The film’s worldview is very much in line with the modern 'do what feels good' ethos, and those who dissent are mostly side characters or played as jokes.
