Awake not Woke!

DEI casting everywhere. Virtually no straight white males to be found. As far as I can remember every single onscreen couple except the first one is mixed race. At least one gay character that I can remember. Nasty unlikable female head of the company is a terrible actor. This has every woke buzzword thrown out there you can imagine. Half of this movie is a bad cliché rom com and then they try to shoehorn in an even more cliché slasher and then dipped the entire thing into the woke toilet for good measure. The dialogue is so bad the entire script feels like it was written by a woke social media addicted Gen Z who thinks they are so clever. Actually I wouldn't be surprised if this was written at least partially by A.I. The music is out of place and there is an actual dress up romcom montage. Then there is the lazy incompetent writing. Why are there loud thundering footsteps when the killer walks like he weighs 500lbs and is stomp walking, except of course when the script requires him to suddenly appear next to someone then he's a stealthy ninja. Why is the police station in a major city virtually completely empty of staff. Why when the lights suddenly go out in the station is there no emergency lighting, and why do the lights then suddenly start flickering on and off for no reason other than needed atmosphere. It is established this serial killer has been active around the country for several years. The FBI would be in charge of the case and would be there to take over not local detectives. Spoiler........... The killers reveal makes absolutely no sense. Look at the height and build of the killer throughout the movie vs what the killers builds actually look like, it's not even close. That's not clever that's just bad writing and filmmaking. Also the police IT guy and the detective are what just transferring jobs multiple times at random all over the country to carry out the murders? The only reason this gets 1 star instead of 0 is for some halfway decent FX. There really is no reason to watch the garbage.

Nothing woke. This is an average sort of rom com revenge comedy mix. There are some funny moments but there are also some very eye rolling cringe ones as well. Don't expect any dirty raunchy humor as its only PG so very light hearted pretty clean jokes. Betty white manages to steal every scene she's in and has some of the funnier jokes in the movie. Overall not bad and maybe worth a one time watch.

Nothing woke. This will definitely not be something that appeals to everyone but I enjoyed it. This is a straight up comedy more so than a any kind of serious heist movie. Every character is incompetent and it's pretty implausible though I suppose it's never really so ridiculous as to be impossible. The acting and humor for me was great. Though it did deal with local Boston politics and corruption I don't recall there being any mention of specific political affiliation, if so I missed it. If you want a fast paced comedy, heist, caper movie that's just trying to entertain rather than tell a deep thinking story this may do if for you.
