There was some genuine creativity in the satirical approach to wokeness in the lively film "Old Dads."
The essential structure of the film was an elaborate sit com with the ups and downs of three men (Jack, Connor, and Mike) and their womenfolk (Leah, Cara, and Britney). The men were getting schooled by the younger generation in matters of wokeness, and they were rather slow of study.
There were good gags and dialogue as the well-intentioned men stumbled around the new language and protocol of the smug neoliberals. The infusion of wokeness came from the school and the workplace.
There were some slow scenes in the film due to some padding and an uneventful trip to the casino by the men. But there was also a heartfelt quality in which the three men came to realizations about the good things in life. And what the men learned came from genuine human values, not from the pretentious mumbo jumbo of the woke culture.
