What's the Worst That Could Happen?2001

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

A standard early-2000s comedy that avoids modern 'woke' trappings, no agenda-driven characters or ideology here, just slapstick and mischief. The film can be considered blissfully non-woke by today’s standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

In our view, the film is primarily a lighthearted crime comedy with little to no emphasis on social justice or identity politics. Character motivations center on personal greed and one-upmanship rather than ideological statements. Casting choices appear to reflect humor and story fit, not forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family, religion, or masculinity are neither highlighted nor undermined. The comedy leans into personal foibles rather than targeting cultural or traditional institutions. There’s no noticeable attempt at subverting established gender or societal roles.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film avoids overt political or cultural messaging. Diverse perspectives aren't mocked or villainized because the story isn’t concerned with ideology; it’s focused on the exploits of its main characters, irrespective of identity or worldview.
