What We Think

A refreshingly non-woke throwback, "Johnny English" offers broad comedy without a hint of forced ideology. It’s all about laughs, not lectures.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

In our view, "Johnny English" primarily focuses on slapstick spy comedy, not identity politics. The characters are portrayed based on comedic fit and genre tropes, not forced diversity or ideology, and there’s no sign of shoehorned representation outranking story or humor.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values, national pride, and character archetypes are played for laughs rather than subversion. Masculinity and British culture are gently spoofed, but there’s no underlying effort to undermine family, faith, or patriotism. The film’s irreverence is classic, not ideological.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film operates within familiar comedic and cultural territory, poking fun at traditional spy stories without trying to demonize alternative or non-mainstream views. There’s no obvious moral lecturing or effort to shut out plurality of perspective.
