What We Think

Wild Hogs is about as non-woke as modern comedies get. It celebrates classic buddy comedy tropes, lets its characters be flawed, and never veers into heavy-handed messaging. If you’re seeking a break from woke Hollywood, this is a refreshingly low-key option.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Wild Hogs keeps its focus on character flaws, personal growth, and old-school friendship, with no obvious pandering to identity politics or forced diversity. Characters are defined by their stories and comedic quirks, not by their race, gender, or sexuality, making for a straightforward, non-woke narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film actually celebrates masculinity, friendship, and the idea of family, albeit in a comedic way. Traditional values like loyalty, redemption, and fun-loving adventure drive the plot. There's little to no subversion of cultural traditions or gender roles to be found here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

This film is mostly apolitical, rarely venturing beyond surface-level comedy. There’s no villainization of alternative perspectives, and even the jokes play more on midlife crises than any modern ideological points. There is occasional ribbing of stereotypes, but nothing resembling an ideological monoculture.
