Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Johnny English Strikes Again remains focused on slapstick humor and parody without getting sidetracked by identity politics. Characters are cast for their comedic fit, and identity factors barely register. The script mostly avoids soapboxing and lets personality quirks, not demographics, drive the jokes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film pokes fun at traditions and authority figures, but in a lighthearted, non-political way. Masculinity, family, and morality aren’t undermined; if anything, the bumbling hero affectionately lampoons old-school spy archetypes. Religion and major traditions are basically untouched.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints aren’t mocked or villainized. The movie avoids contemporary ideological debates almost entirely, sticking to universal comedic situations and gentle satire of spy movie clichés. There’s no clear push for any dominant worldview or modern moral agenda.
