What We Think

If you're worried about 'woke' overload, breathe easy, 'Mortdecai' is more likely to offend your sense of humor than your worldview. Its main priority is slapstick and eccentricity, not social commentary.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Mortdecai' focuses on eccentric humor and an offbeat story, not on identity or ideological messaging. Casting and characterization are driven by narrative needs (quirky British aristocrat, bumbling antics), with no sign of forced diversity or ideological box-ticking.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film leans into classic British tropes and traditional comedic setups. It doesn't take jabs at family, religion, or masculinity; if anything, it plays with the absurdity of its aristocratic lead in traditional roles.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's little to no political messaging, and alternative worldviews, if they appear, are treated as comedic fodder rather than being villainized. The film is more interested in laughs than lectures.
