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

Tomcats is about as unwoke as they come. With its focus on crude humor, traditional (if immature) gender dynamics, and a lack of ideological messaging, it firmly belongs to the pre-woke comedy era.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Tomcats focuses on crude humor and raunchy escapades without any obvious attempt to shoehorn in identity politics or social messaging. Characters are driven by their personalities and flaws, not their identity boxes. Narrative choices, while questionable in taste, are not subverted by modern woke trends.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film leans into traditional, albeit exaggerated, portrayals of masculinity and relationships. Family, gender differences, and sexuality are treated in a decidedly non-woke, almost caricatured, manner, with little concern for modern standards of political correctness.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

If anything, Tomcats represents the old-school 'guy comedy.' Alternative or progressive worldviews barely feature, and the movie isn’t concerned with diversity or ideological balance. It's unapologetically stuck in a bygone, pre-woke era.
