WOKE ELEMENTS

Eve starts the film as a streetwise ball-breaking “independent” woman but she’s powerless against Adam’s old-world chivalry. So, no woke there.

There is a gay character in the film but he’s performed to comedic perfection by Kid’s In The Hall alumn David Foley, and there’s no awkwardly shoehorned Disney-like agenda. He just is gay, and it’s mostly played for laughs.
