What We Think

What Happens in Vegas is about as non-woke as you could ask for in the post-2000 era. It’s a breezy, traditional rom-com, more interested in laughs and love than lectures or ideology.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film mostly avoids shoehorning ideological messaging or identity politics into its story. Characters are developed around their comedic value and situations, not to check diversity boxes. The narrative is classic rom-com fluff rather than an ideological showcase.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional gender roles and concepts like marriage are at the center of the plot, with some light ribbing at both men and women. It never actively tears down cultural norms or mocks religion, family, or masculinity in any significant way, just playful banter.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no noticeable ideological monoculture here. The film’s main conflict is built on age-old relationship dynamics and personal growth, not political talking points. Dissenting views or traditional values aren’t demonized; this is just an old-school romantic comedy.
