Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 mostly sticks to classic slapstick comedy and a simple hero narrative. The emphasis remains on the protagonist's character, persistence, and everyman appeal, not identity factors. Forced representation and 'flawless' diverse characters aren't really a factor here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film upholds standard tropes like family, heroism, work ethic, and even features traditional masculinity without mocking. There’s little to no subversion of gender roles or overt attempts at cultural revisionism. It plays things extremely safe by today's standards.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's not much in the way of ideological messaging. Dissenting worldviews aren't really featured, but neither are modern moral issues highlighted or mocked. It's more interested in physical comedy than culture wars.
