In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Johnny English Reborn is blissfully non-woke, prioritizing laughs over lectures. It pokes fun at spy tropes, not modern society, and steers clear of heavy-handed messaging. A rare palate cleanser for viewers tired of identity-obsessed cinema.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Johnny English Reborn is largely a straightforward spy comedy, leaning on slapstick and parody rather than modern identity politics. Character traits focus on personality and incompetence, rather than ticking diversity boxes. There's minimal forced representation or unnatural focus on identity traits.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional masculinity and British values are playfully lampooned, but the tone is more silly than subversive. It doesn’t pathologize tradition or undermine family, religion, or morality, just uses them as fodder for lighthearted jokes. Nothing here feels like cultural revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film lacks strong ideological messaging. Any mockery or villainization is toward spy genre conventions, not traditional values or dissenting viewpoints. There's a diverse mix of characters for the sake of humor and plot, not ideology.
