What We Think

Bridget Jones’s Baby mostly steers clear of heavy-handed woke themes. While it’s aware of contemporary trends, it keeps the narrative grounded in universal, character-driven comedy and romance, offering a refreshing break from Hollywood’s usual ideological parade.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film keeps its focus on Bridget's relatable struggles with romance, career, and motherhood. Diverse representation is present but doesn't override character development or story logic. Identity politics take a back seat to humor and heart, keeping narrative priorities mostly in check.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While there are some mild jabs at traditional family structures and masculinity, the movie isn't out to dismantle core cultural values. Bridget's desire for motherhood and stable relationships are central, and traditional dynamics are respected, if gently mocked for comedic effect.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Characters express a range of viewpoints, plenty of jokes at everyone's expense. No major attempt to outright villainize traditional stances, nor to enforce a single modern worldview. Ideology is present, but not aggressively so, leaving room for pluralism and debate.
