Johnny English

Pros: I guess Rowan Atkinson, Imbruglia is OK, some well-executed scenes
Cons: You have seen this stuff before!

Over the years, I have had mixed thoughts on Rowan Atkinson's comedic talents. At first, his first few skits as Mr. Bean, various episodes of Black Adder and sketches from Not the 9 O'Clock News made me think that he was a genius of the...

Pros: Miller is great
Cons: Everything else

How many Bond parodies can there be? With the rise of Austin Powers, the answer seems to be "not enough." Enter Johnny English, the story of a wistful, wanna-be-secret-agent who actually becomes one, thanks to his own ...

Pros: Rowan Atkinson, John Malkovich, Plenty of laughs.
Cons: Natalie Imbruglia

A sinister plot threatens the sovereign integrity of the United Kingdom, and James Bond isn’t available. Instead, Johnny English, the film, sees rubber-faced Rowan Atkinson lining up against the forces of evil in the ultimate 007 spoof. Refreshingly...

Pros: Some actual thought put into the script. Gets much better as it goes.
Cons: Wallows between being a spy movie or a spoof. Needed to go further.

The Short and Sweet. Other spy-flick spoofs have pushed the envelope farther and made you la ...

Pros: For the first time… out of them
Cons: Huh!

I wanted to have some fun. All I wanted was to have some fun! Why, why, why? …DID I HAVE TO ...

Pros: soundtrack, two scenes
Cons: boring, unoriginal, not funny, too long at 87 minutes

Here’s the mission objective: Parachute from the cargo plane onto a building and infiltrate the e ...

Pros: Wacky performances by Atkinson and Malkovich; silly moments
Cons: Weak story and action

"Clearly, the aptly named English is a fool." (Pascal Sauvage) For those who delight in reliving the Norman invasion, "Johnny English" (played by Rowan Atkinson) is the movie to watch. For the first time, you have a British secret service agent who, ...

Pros: Rowan Atkinson, Good spoof.
Cons: Could have been funnier :)

Introduction Mr. Bean requires no introduction. The role that has catapulted Rowan Atkinson to an iconic status so much so that he is known more as Mr. Bean rather than Rowan Atkinson. So when I bought my Bean combo DVD, one of the movies on that ...

Pros: Good Soundtrack
Cons: The movie itself is not worth watching

One would think that with Rowan Atkinson's many years of comedic experience in Mr. Bean, Black Adder and his many other movies that he could come up with some hilarious material for this movie. Sadly, he does not and Johnny English fails at all levels. ...

Pros: Mr. Bean is ALWAYS funny.
Cons: It's all been done before. Nothing particularly memorable.

As Johnny English begins, we see the title character beginning his infiltration of an enemy base. A ...

Pros: Side-splitting comedy. Excellent performances and tremendous fun.
Cons: The direction occasionally struggled with such a rich mix of humour and action.

Johnny English is a low-ranking MI7 agent who is something of a Walter Mitty and dreams of a life of danger beyond his desk. Given his chance at a time of grave national crisis, Johnny puts his training and extraordinary talents to use … with all the...

Pros: Good situation slapstick comedy and it makes fun of the French
Cons: Almost all the joke are predictable

He’s a man known by many names like Mr. Bean, The Black Adder, and even the voice Zazu from the Lion ...

Pros: One or two funny jokes...
Cons: Unfunny, John Malkovich is awfull, bad action, unoriginal...

Finally a film which reached the Dutch theatres first. I read that the film will come out in the States in June or July, so this is one exception in which a film is released in Europe first. Sadly I must say that the hugely marketed film "JOHNNY ENGLISH"...

Pros: Rowan Atkinson
Cons: Not funny enough

Johnny English is a spy spoof that has the extremely talented Rowan Atkinson playing the title chara ...

Pros: There were a few really funny parts.
Cons: Not really funny

When I saw the commercials for Johnny English I really wanted to see it. It looked like an amazingly funny spoof on spies. I was completely wrong. Johnny English turned out to be an un-funny movie that I should've skipped. Johnny English is ...
