What We Think

'The Wedding Date' is a rom-com from an earlier era, refreshingly free of modern ideological trends. It’s focused on romance and family, without shoehorning in contemporary social themes. Non-woke viewers can watch this without rolling their eyes.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film sticks to a straightforward romantic comedy formula with traditional character development. There is no forced representation or overemphasis on character identity factors. The story is driven by personal growth and relationship dynamics rather than ideological messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values, family, marriage, and relational struggles, are front and center here. Masculinity and femininity are played pretty straight, with no noticeable attempts to undermine family, religion, or morality. It’s about as standard as rom-coms get, culturally speaking.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t make space for much ideological preaching. Alternative views on relationships and identity simply don’t come up, but that reflects genre conventions more than a pointed agenda. For most audience members, this will feel refreshingly neutral.
