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

Trouble with the Curve keeps its focus on traditional themes, merit, and family values, offering a largely non-woke, straightforward sports drama with only mild nods to modern identity issues.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The story centers on traditional archetypes: an aging baseball scout and his daughter, with character arcs focused on skill, family, and redemption. There’s some emphasis on gender, but it largely serves the father-daughter relationship rather than overshadowing narrative integrity or merit-based character decisions.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film presents themes like family loyalty, reconciliation, and respect for tradition. Masculinity and legacy are treated thoughtfully, and traditional values are not undermined. The narrative treats baseball as a cultural institution and reveres its history without revisionism or mockery.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film highlights a career-driven female lead overcoming gender bias, it doesn’t villainize traditional perspectives or erase disagreement. There is some critique of modern corporate sports culture, but alternative views are given space, and traditionalism isn’t caricatured.
