Enjoyable comedy that will have you smiling often and make you laugh out loud once or twice.Not the first James Bond comedy rip off and won't be the last either the possibilities are too fertile. There have been better parodies though - David Niven for one.Comparisons with Rowan Atkinson's other creations are unavoidable. In this movie our hero is played like the Black Adder of Season one. At times a wibbling oinker but at others insightful and ingenious. He manages to mess his own plans up every time yet still gets to be in the right place at the right time. He drives really well but accidentally presses the eject button at the most inopportune moment - you get the idea. It isn't Mr Bean.Not a must-see movie but if it comes on you can put the remote down and relax.
... View MoreNot even remotely funny.Rowan Atkinson should stick to playing Mr. Bean.Boring not funny action sequences.Not funny comedic scenes John Malkovich is pathetic as the villain.Natalie Imbruglia is hot.Everything else is not A disaster as far as spoof movies go.Don't let the fact that they made a sequel to this crap fool you.It is crap!! Avoid this if you have a sense of humor.Bla Bla.IMDb demands ten lines.
... View MoreAfter all of the other agents in MI-7 are killed the British government calls upon the services of "Johnny English" (Rowan Atkinson) to investigate a case which their top spy was working on prior to his demise. Assisting him is his loyal backup "Bough" (Ben Miller) who is as adept in the secret agent business as Johnny English is incompetent. In any case, Johnny English's first assignment is to ensure that the newly polished Crown Jewels are kept safe and secure so that the Queen is able to inspect them. When they subsequently stolen Johnny English leaps in to action. Or in his case bumbles into it. Now rather than reveal any more of this movie and risk spoiling it for those who haven't seen it I will just say that although it was quite predictable and somewhat uneven it was still rather funny all the same. That said, while Ben Miller and Natalie Imbruglia (as "Lorna Campbell") certainly turned in credible performances, it was Rowan Atkinson who clearly carried this film in spite of the weaknesses mentioned earlier. In any case, I rate this movie as slightly above average.
... View MoreJohnny English is not the most intelligent movie ever made in the world and certainly not the greatest comedy film of the century. Though when you look at parody films Jonny English has to be the best one ever.Atkinson proves his skill of acting again which he has done before in other shows like the famous Mr bean. Other actors also have done their parts well. All the scenes of the movie that showed Atkinson in it produced either smiles or made you jump from your seats. Though many of the scenes are a bit unintelligent, it still created hum. In short Johnny English is a great Parody and should be watched by all viewers in the world.I hope the sequel is also great.If you haven't watched it yet then all I can say is go bu the DVD or borrow it. I give it a 8.
