What We Think

Uncle Drew is blissfully non-woke, focusing on fun, sports, and sincere comedic moments. It doesn’t preach, pander, or push ideology, just an old-school crowd-pleaser. Refreshing, isn’t it?

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Uncle Drew keeps its focus on basketball, comedy, and unlikely friendship. The story emphasizes skill, sportsmanship, and redemption without obvious forced identity-based casting or soapboxing. The characters are diverse due to the film's setting, not because it feels forced or ideological.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like teamwork, mentorship, and self-improvement are central. Masculinity, for better or worse, is depicted in a positive, lighthearted manner. There's no discernible agenda to undercut family, religion, or traditional morality.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t take jabs at dissenting worldviews or traditional attitudes. It’s mostly concerned with fun and heart, not making a political statement. Characters have a range of personalities and flaws without being reduced to social commentary props.
