What We Think

The Whole Ten Yards barely registers on the woke scale, offering harmless screwball antics without modern ideological preaching. If only more films today could focus on laughs over lectures.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Whole Ten Yards is a standard early-2000s crime-comedy sequel focused on bumbling hitmen and mistaken identities. There is little to suggest that character identity traits overshadow personality or narrative goals. Forced representation or “Mary Sue”-like characters are nowhere to be found, just playfully absurd plot twists and slapstick.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This film doesn’t take aim at tradition, religion, or cultural norms. Masculinity, family, and morality are treated as plot devices or sources of comedy, not ideological battlegrounds. There’s little sign of subverting gender roles or rewriting cultural history, the focus is simply on comedic misadventures.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no heavy ideological angle, although the film operates within Hollywood’s typical comic sensibility. Alternative or traditional values aren’t mocked or caricatured, but, equally, the film doesn’t explore much diversity of thought. The humor is broad and largely apolitical.
