The only woke bullshit I noticed was the grandfather at the end magically accepting his granddaughter's homosexuality, which was ridiculous and totally out of character for him and was absolutely an extremist leftist message the film was trying to send. You can always tell this crap because it sticks out like a sore thumb in just about any narrative.
These days, gay stuff is forced into plots unnecessarily, but here, save for what happens with the grandfather at the end, it actually played an important role that felt necessary to the story and contributed to the overall development of the main character. It was used intelligently and not the usual leftist bullshit, in other words, and actually played an important role in the overall story. Even the bit where the main character has a sort of lesbian relationship with Jamie Lee Curtis makes sense in the context of the story, helping her accept her daughter's homosexuality as more than just a "phase." It was intelligent and well done, which is more than you can say for 99% of stuff today.
Other than that, the film was fairly bullshit free, so props for that.

Ironically in my experience the grandfather generation would be more likely to accept it as just something the kids do nowadays than the parent generation. Especially since this was a different country/culture for him so he knew things are different than hes used to.

That's an interesting possibility and explanation. Wish they'd included something of that nature in the film to explain the sudden turn, though.
