Awake not Woke!

Adult Children of Divorce is a comedy from 2013. There are a lot of recognizable faces and names here and the acting is good. This is a hilarious comedy about exactly what the title says. There is nothing woke here. The story is good, the humor is more grounded than silly but it works. I do think it's probably funnier to people with divorced parents or if you know someone who is. Some of the humor may not hit the same way otherwise. Still well worth a watch in my opinion.

'Inspired by a true story', except it's not, like at all. Literally the only thing that actually happened was Miami police raided a mans home and found 22 million hidden in home depot buckets behind a wall. That's it, no cartel, no corrupt police, no murdered LEO, no shootout, no police chase, nothing. Even the officer that was involved in the production as an advisor wasn't there or involved with the real story at all. In reality this is a completely fictional made up story, it didn't even happen in the city of Hialeah either. Sigh. As for the movie, well it's standard modern fare. The acting is pretty good and it's fine for mindless entertainment but the story and writing is not so great. It's the usual lazy writing with characters doing stupid things that trained special unit officer would do. If you don't pay too much attention it passes the time. While I don't mind Affleck or Damon they are a bit miscast in my opinion especially in the first half, they are still stuck in their Boston speech patterns and mindset, that's not how people talk in Miami, and what is with the constant nonstop F bombs, in every sentence by every character. It's not natural at all and just distracting. As for woke the diversity is not that far off given it's set in Miami but still can't help but notice the core group consists of 2 white males, 1 Asian male, 1 black female and 1 Spanish female. Spoiler.................. The other issue is the villains are all men and other than 1 are white and corrupt police while the Columbian drug cartel is more honorable and not really that bad after all.

Although it was "inspired" by the same-name comic, its connection with the comic is way too low, almost zero. They just used the concept; everything else was made up.

Kids show. Don't expect too much.
