What We Think

"The Wash" is far from woke, sticking instead to 2000s lowbrow comedy. It sidesteps most modern ideological concerns, so if you’re tired of the current Hollywood trend, this one’s about as non-woke as a carwash comedy gets.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"The Wash" leans heavily on classic buddy comedy tropes, focusing on the antics and flawed personalities of its leads rather than identity-driven storytelling. There’s little evidence of characters being written or cast primarily for ideological representation, with the film relying on urban humor and simple conflicts.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s some irreverence, but the film doesn’t push any agenda undermining family, faith, or traditional morals. Masculinity is played up for laughs, not deconstructed, and cultural traditions are largely incidental to the story’s hijinks.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t seem interested in pushing a single worldview, modern ideology, or mocking traditional lifestyles. Its humor is crude and sometimes politically incorrect by today’s standards, but it’s more juvenile than ideologically uniform.
