What We Think

Wedding Daze is a quintessential mid-2000s rom-com, blissfully unconcerned with shoehorning modern identity politics into its story. If you're tired of today's social sermons, this one likely won't set off your wokeness detectors.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Wedding Daze is a rom-com centered around traditional male-female relationships. Casting and character traits focus on comic chemistry and relatable flaws, rather than using identity politics as the driving force. In our view, nothing major seems sacrificed for the sake of ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film's humor and storylines operate on familiar territory: marriage, commitment, and family. Masculinity isn't subverted or mocked more than usual for a comedy, and cultural values aren't re-engineered for modern ideological messages. No obvious revisionism or subversion detected.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While Wedding Daze keeps to light romantic comedy standards, it doesn't put alternative or traditional views through the wringer. Dissenting voices may be played for laughs, but that's par for the genre, not ideology. No real moral lecturing or villainization apparent.
