What We Think

Taxi (2004) isn't losing sleep over being 'woke.' It leans hard into classic buddy comedy chaos, featuring a diverse cast but without heavy-handed messaging or reengineering of traditional values. It's an action comedy with all the subtlety of a car crash, no ideological lectures to be found.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Taxi (2004) is firmly a product of early 2000s entertainment, prioritizing slapstick comedy and action over ideological messaging. While it features a strong female lead, the focus is on humor and situational chaos rather than emphasizing identity politics. Characters are driven more by personality quirks than by their demographics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional roles and humor abound, with plenty of playful jabs at both genders but nothing seriously undermining masculinity, family, religion, or classic values. The film doesn't seem interested in rewriting cultural norms, it's more concerned with car chases and comedic mayhem.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no noticeable push for ideological conformity; any cultural commentary is surface-level, meant for laughs. The plot doesn't villainize traditional perspectives or elevate a single worldview, keeping things refreshingly pluralistic for a mainstream comedy of its era.
