This one gets complicated
Zero woke. (Theatrical release) Fun story about a one-hit-wonder band. Tom Hanks wrote and directed it. He also played a significant part. He also wrote a couple of the songs in the soundtrack. The complicated part: There was an extended cut version released that revealed Hank's character to be in a homosexual relationship with a character played by Howie Long. I've never seen that version. I hope I never do. Tom Hanks didn't want that part in the movie. I don't blame him.
Very underrated flick in my opinion
I really enjoyed this one. Cole Hauser did a great job. An actor from a small midwest town found sudden fame by starring in a Hollywood action flick. He learned about fame the hard way. When the Paparazzi pushed too far, they found out about a protective husband/father the hard way. The only negative may be that the situations were kind of forced. Vengeance stories can be like that.
Shame about the Wokery...
I wanted to like this show, and there is a lot to like about it, but I found the Wokery to be just too blunt and pervasive. For me it spoiled what would otherwise have been an excellent show and so I didn't finish watching it. Will show writers/producers ever learn?
Such a shame, and not.
It’s totally woke. Honestly, it’s not surprising at all. John Cena already sold his soul to the woke crowd from the moment he got pathetically drunk with that Bud Light in episode 2 of Peacemaker Season 2. That was pretty much the point where he shows that he joined the woke mafia. Still, I gave the movie a chance and watched the whole thing. I’m not gonna break down every detail, but it ticks every single box on "the message” checklist. The black brother character hits all the forced cliches that could’ve been funny if they weren’t so painfully obvious. Basically ripping off movies like What About Bob? (1991) or Twins, where a successful, put-together guy (Cena as a real estate agent) has his perfect life destroyed by a chaotic, clingy, no-filter dude. Except here, the straight white guy is portrayed as this insecure mess, which completely contradicts the successful life he’s supposedly built. At times it felt like the script was written by AI instead of actual writers. Totally disposable.
