Waiting...2005

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

"Waiting..." is mercifully free of woke sermonizing, focusing more on offbeat, irreverent humor than virtue signaling. If you're looking for classic 2000s comedy without the culture war baggage, this one stays comfortably non-woke.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Waiting..." keeps its focus on raunchy workplace antics without shoehorning in identity politics or ticking diversity boxes. Characters are defined by their quirks, flaws, and comedic misadventures, not by forced representation or surface-level identity traits. The movie steers well clear of modern woke tropes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film, for better or worse, doubles down on crude humor and irreverence but doesn't go out of its way to undermine masculinity, family, or faith. It pokes fun at everyone and everything indiscriminately, if anything, it clings to the 'irreverent 2000s' spirit.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

This film doesn't preach or push a particular modern ideology. Traditional perspectives and attitudes are present, if only as comedic fodder. There’s no attempt to villainize alternative or non-woke worldviews, mostly, everybody is just ridiculous.
