Decent film that is fun to watch
The only "woke" thing in this movie was a quote about gender norms. Other than that, it's a fun movie with a great cast and great writing.

Medium Woke but still entertaining
The Asian girl (Joy Yoshino) is automatically stereotyped. Everything is racialized these days. She is teased that she only eats rice. Really?
The Asian girl (Joy Yoshino) wants to come back from the dead and haunt Ted Cruz. She hates Republicans? Most people on the left hate anything to the right of socialists. Why bring politics into this discussion unless you as the director want to do a hit job? Oddly it has no relevance to the conversation. These days even a liberal can’t get a word in. Ironic.
Here goes another stereotype. The Asian girl (Joy Yoshino) instantly appears to write code on his computer and magickly the answer appears. Really?
I liked the two boys. Good typical high school interaction. The family overall gelled well. They are a black family but it didn’t matter either way and was transparent to the story.
The gay ghost reference was interesting. I would guestimate that there is no sexuality of any kind on the other side.
Save Ernest from Capitalism? Again, a reference to politics with absolutely no relevance to the storyline. How about explaining the director’s goal of saving the USA from success and freedom.
Of course, CNN gets a plug in the movie. This only happened because the director or Netflix chose it this way. No one watches CNN anymore!
The Asian girl (Joy Yoshino) runs into the boy’s bathroom and criticizes a football player for his “gender norms”. Completely unnecessary to the story line.
I am utterly amazed the director put and outright home invasion of a black family’s house in the movie.
I did drop Netflix for the woke spin on their content. They are not the worst like Disney is but the corrosion is expanding.
