Question 1

Is Dinner in America woke?

Accepted Answer

Dinner in America has a woke score of 20/100, which means it is not especially woke compared with higher-scoring titles. The movie pushes punk rebellion against uptight suburban families the whole way through. Story follows chaotic punk rocker Simon and awkward misfit Patty as they bond over chaos, her self-discovery, and sticking it to normie conformity with zero modern identity lectures or activist sermons. It mocks repressive white suburban dinner-table racism and control-freak parents but stays locked in classic punk anti-authority vibes instead of systemic identity politics.

An on-the-lam punk rocker and a young woman obsessed with a local band go on an unexpected and epic journey together through the decaying suburbs of the American Midwest.
