What We Think

The Inbetweeners Movie is about as non-woke as modern mainstream British comedy gets. It’s refreshingly free of identity politics, moral posturing, or forced representation, focusing instead on universal adolescent embarrassment and ineptitude.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Inbetweeners Movie focuses on classic, crude coming-of-age humor with character flaws and growth firmly at the center. Identity politics and forced representation are noticeably absent. Characters are cast and developed for comedy, not ideology, and their actions have clear, realistic consequences.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film relies heavily on familiar notions of awkward masculinity, friendship, and adolescent mishaps. Traditional gender roles are present and played for laughs, not subverted. Family and social norms are lampooned in a universal way rather than targeted for ideological critique.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no overt ideological messaging, and the film doesn’t mock alternative viewpoints; if anything, everyone is fair game for comedy. Personal foibles are at the core of the humor, rather than modern identity or political debates.
