Can't say how much of an agenda Candy Land has...

The film is full of kind of anti-religion cultist people, and it has a cop-on-man relationship, but I'm not sure it has much of an agenda. It must get one star on the woke-o-meter, though, for both those reasons.

Overall, it's a fun movie. It's quite bloody. The plot is straightforward enough and I like the Olivia Luccardi a bunch. As a matter of fact, I was kind of cheering for her even though the other characters weren't really dislikeable either.

Here's our in-your-face agenda!

I have retracted a bit of the hate from my original review. Aside from this film being an in-your-face liberal propaganda piece, it's kind of a cutesy "as expected" romantic comedy. In that sense, it's a fun watch. Previous review (updated):

"Lesbian-interracial couple marriage in Australia. And I so wanted to just sit and watch a silly romantic comedy with a hot looking woman. Sydney Sweeney isn't actually all that good in this movie, but she's sexy! (update: yeah, she's cute)

This film (update: This film's over the top inclusion and DEI brainwashing) makes me want to vomit. I try to not use the word, "Woke" on this board so much, since it's in the actual DNS name of the site. But that's what it is. Here's a couple other words: Hollywood swill (Update: But, still kind of a fun little RomCom).

I'm sure it'll appeal to the dimwit university programmed DEI robots who grew up in this time of asshats. This movie (Update: This movie's inclusionary vision) sucks.

Well made sad garbage

The filmmaking and acting isn't bad at all for an IMDb low-rated movie, it's just that the story is kind of garbage. I'm like, ugh, whatever. Stupid HAL-9000 computer that runs and controls all things IoT. Predictable. Seen it before. At least the rogue computer wasn't a vindictive mixed race electronic lesbian couple. None of that.

A surprise. with a bit of cringe, but overall a good movie

I'll admit, it was scary coming into this film as it looked like it would be a kind of a really politically correct, check the boxes in a relationship and woman power kind of movie, but it's just a fun RomCom, underdog succeeds kind of happy type of movie.

Admittedly, there's a few cringy scenes with Anna and William fighting and whatnot, so I did skip a few 30-second blocks. Doesn't matter, I fast-skip RomComs all the time.

Let's start with the white dude screaming: "money! money! money!". Lampman is a sexy cop chasing down Jason "The Beekeeper" Statham. Good thing she's the most intelligent black woman on the case, ever. Her and all the lacky white FBI (CIA? Who cares?) dudes-- about as smart as a tomato those whites, and, of course, all the blacks and women heading up the FBI, CIA, presidency and I'd say, the universal council of the universe will crack the case. It's just so transparent DEI that it makes me want to puke.

Thank God Statham kicks ass or this would be a complete waste. Not that it isn't a waste.

Bombs and guns and stuff

A silly, fun action movie with enough guns, bullets, bombs to make any liberal, granola-eating snowflake weep tears of agony.

Little less nutty than it thinks it is

Poor Things is nominated for an Oscar because it's an art or film student's love child and dream. Fortunately, as it moves forward, the story isn't all that complicated that us "regular" 9-to-5 kinds of people won't be able to understand it and, actually, it's quite good.

We could live without, say, 45 minutes of over the top sex scenes, women on women, on circus freaks, men playing dress-up and the kinky stuff added in order to offend, like, Jerry Falwell. I was not offended; I got tired of the film pandering to the cause so, for that, it gets a mild woke rating.

Aside from the obvious go-to choice

Of course this film centers around black issues and has a black cast. For that, it's actually a great story and Jeffrey Wright is a cool lead.

Why the gay brother? Why gay? He could have been the "black sheep" of the family for having a lazy eye, or being the youngest, or oldest sibling, or maybe he talked with a lisp. And over-the-top, speedo wearing gays for no other reason than to move the agenda forward. Shame, an interesting story with great acting hijacked by Hollywood box-checkers.

The musical of Bad Times

No major politically correctness in this film aside from the soul singing woman who's music we hear just a little too often. Jeff Bridges plays a pretend priest and Lewis Pullman has PTSD. It's got Dakota Johnson in it who I confused with Olivia Cooke. I really like Olivia Cooke. ♥ ♥ ♥.

As far as the story goes, I'm calling it a much longer than necessary, more straightforward and less interesting Pulp Fiction- or select another Tarantino film. Not a terrible movie, just a little too long. Way too long.

Wishing it was better and I didn't have to rate it as "woke".

I mean, I guess with the Obama administration involved, what do you expect? I'd have rated it less DEI and more fun if it wasn't such a terrible, drawn-out, dialog-driven film. But it is. So, we have the ultra rich black dude and his Caucasian-hating sidekick kicking Julia Roberts our of a weekend rental. The world is ending, but not in an "Independence Day" kind of way. More like a "condescending black man and his Black Panther sidekick berates white family who in reality just rented their mansion for a weekend" way. It's a movie you'd like to enjoy, but White family just don't get it: they're incompetent, incoherent, mindless dipshits.

I'm changing my review sliders: this movie really sucked. Original: Woke 2, Review: 3.
