Awake not Woke!

A cute little romcom from the early 2000's. More humorous than laugh out loud funny though there are a couple of those as well. Pretty typical of these types of movies. Good acting and some decent jokes and nothing woke. Good soundtrack as well. Worth a watch if you like romcoms.

Funny little indie comedy. More of a drama comedy I guess but pretty well done. Good acting and humor and some decent writing. The main male lead is a bit of a loser but it's the character and not a generalization of all male characters. There is a comment about white privilege but it seems to be more in the context of showing how brainwashed thinking like this is dangerous. The character that says it has problems and is in constant therapy and I don't think it was done in the context of being woke. It's one comment and I don't remember anything else woke. Recommended if you like more subtle indie comedy lite movies with some dysfunctional characters.

A total letdown

The premise is actually really strong: a post-apocalyptic world where a virus killed almost all men, leaving just one guy alive. Could’ve been a fascinating story about society collapsing and rebuilding. Instead, it’s a total letdown. They ignore the big picture and focus on boring personal dramas, love triangles, and petty bullshit. The main character is especially awful. They turned him into the dumbest, most unlikeable idiot possible. You root against him from episode one. On top of that, it’s loaded with heavy-handed woke propaganda. Almost every man is portrayed as garbage or irrelevant, while women are shown as superior. There are constant cheap shots at conservatives and men in general. One scene even had a trans guy saying men “earned” being hated. That was the last straw. Bad pacing, weak writing, flat acting, and almost zero interesting world-building. Massive wasted potential. Just another infuriating, preachy show that deserves to be cancelled. Not worth watching.

I've seen this before and not sure why I never rated it. Just a great movie all around. Nothing woke to complain about. The acting is great the humor is spot on. Cage plays a fictional (sort of) version of himself and appears to have a lot of fun with it. Knowledge of movies in general will help but I would say the more you know of Cage and his history of movies the more you will get out of this. Absolutely hilarious.
