What We Think

“Two Can Play That Game” is very much a product of its early 2000s era, relationship games, snappy one-liners, and plenty of traditional dynamics. If you’re looking for a non-woke throwback, this fits the bill nicely.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film firmly centers its plot around relationship dynamics and character-driven humor, rather than making character identity or ideology the story's main focus. Casting choices reflect the story’s setting without any sense of forced diversity or modern checklists.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film pokes fun at gender relations, it mostly plays by the familiar rules of romantic comedy, with traditional family, romance, and masculinity on display rather than subverted. There’s no evident revisionism or overt undermining of cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Most characters espouse familiar values and jokes about dating, with both traditional and modern viewpoints present, albeit in a lighthearted way. There isn’t much depth given to opposing worldviews, but there’s no heavy-handed ideological conformity.
