What We Think

Think Like a Man doesn’t go anywhere near woke overkill. It’s a good old-fashioned rom-com that highlights timeless dating struggles, respecting cultural roots and allowing for diverse, even traditional, perspectives. A rare find in modern Hollywood.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Think Like a Man tells a straightforward romantic comedy story where characters are defined by personality, quirks, and relationship dilemmas, not just identity factors. Diverse casting serves the narrative, not ideology. Hardly a hint of 'representation for the sake of it' here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family, masculinity, and gender roles are all portrayed as meaningful, sometimes even celebrated. The film critiques and pokes fun at gender dynamics, but ultimately respects marriage, dating, and traditional values without revisionist zeal.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film features a bit of light stereotyping, but it doesn’t villainize traditional perspectives. There's banter, conflict, and honest portrayal of various viewpoints on relationships, avoiding the exaggerated woke monoculture so common today.
