Awake not Woke!

Mediocre but not bad!

(NO SPOILERS) If you've watched through everything else on Netflix and you're looking for something that will at minimum keep your attention, this isn't a bad choice. If you're looking for a dark interpretation of the standard Santa Clause story, this is at least unique. Woke aspects: Only woke thing I noticed was the race-swapping of Mrs. Clause... however, they entire movie is a strong departure from standard Santa Clause myths and they took liberties with tons of things. (I mean, Santa is a gun slinging immortal with military ties, so I don't think the race of Mrs. Clause is that huge of a deal in such a ridiculous interpretation of the story.) That said, the actress who plays Mrs. Clause does very well. It's a 4.5-5/10.

just like the old pixar movies, aka good animation+nice story+kid friendly

thats is no woke. maybe the fat that the father is the one at home while the mother is the breadwinner(but thats not something that is pushed on your face)

The only woke is the main couple is mixed race and there is a secondary gay couple in the 1st episode that didn't show up in the second one so that may be a very minor thing. This is listed as a mystery comedy and i's a couple that goes to an island retreat where the wife finds a cell phone from a missing couple. The acting is ok but the story is all over the place and the writing is very lazy. There's huge leaps in logic that make no sense and characters acting unrealistically. So the wife finds a 15 year old bust flip phone in the jungle so naturally she hunts down another one and buys it so she can swap sim cards and see the contents. She sees nothing suspicious but acts like she does and starts researching the couple on the phone. She finds out they went missing during a hurricane on the island. Again nothing suspicious but she acts like she discovered some big mystery and starts obsessing. Then about 2 scenes later she's telling her husband all these historical details like she's now an expert on the case. They both just decide there is some big mystery and they are going to investigate around the island and figure it out. It's absurd and the 2 of them are about the most insufferable and stupid couple you can imagine. They just run around the island like idiots on a play date never thinking once about contacting the police about finding evidence in a missing persons case. The whole show is jumping back and forth between the missing couple and dumber and dumber P.I. The humor is eye rolling cringe and not funny in the least and the story just isn't interesting enough to keep your attention. 2 episodes was enough for me.

An older lesser known thanksgiving movie from the 90's. It's the home for the holidays disfunctional family comedy. Good acting and some great humor. The only woke thing is the brother (played by Downey Jr) is gay and he has an equal story line. I'm only giving it a 1 because unlike today it's not preachy about it, there's no victimhood, it's never in your face obnoxious with any part of it and the character isn't pushed into the front of the story. He's just an equal part of the story like all the other characters. This was 1995 when Downey Jr was pretty drugged out at this point and it's very obvious. His performance in hilarious but you can definitely see the drug use coming through in his jacked up erratic character portrayal. Still a great Thanksgiving movie.
