What We Think

'What About Bob?' is refreshingly non-woke, with a focus on humor and relatable character quirks. It neither preaches nor pushes identity politics, making it a relic of Hollywood’s less ideologically charged era.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is a straightforward comedy focused on character-driven humor. Identities such as race, gender, or sexuality aren't prioritized over the central personalities. Casting and narrative choices seem based on comedic fit, not ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family dynamics are depicted without mockery, and masculinity isn't pathologized or subverted. The film explores neuroses comedically but doesn't undermine core cultural values or reinterpret tradition for modern ideology.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no apparent ideological groupthink. Dissent and individuality are presented through the main characters' eccentricities, and no particular worldview is imposed or villainized.
