You're gonna feel all of those 80 odd minutes. Malkovich with hair is unwholesome.

Gah. Had to turn it off midway. One would be better off watching a Mr. Bean episode marathon instead.

Atkinson's charm would embue all but the tackiest of the jokes and slapstick with appreciable humour but for the sheer number of weaker efforts on the page. Ultimately an effective package, but only due to its inimitable star, and only just.

It started off like a decent spy comedy, but it fast tracked to awkward and uncomfortable. The skits are predictable and stale and the supporting roles can't bring even a sympathetic laugh.

"Johnny English" is a hysterically funny, prototypical spy film spoof. The titular hero is monumentally, no-holds-barred daft and that results in countless hilariously awkward situations. Rowan Atkinson is just perfect for the role and is surrounded by a very fitting cast. Overall "Johnny English" is very enjoyable and its more than fair share of iconic moments makes up for the occasional misstep.

After more than 10 years I finally failed at not remembering this. Oh well.

Not all jokes work but enough of them are funny and it's decently paced, so amusing enough.

I suppose the comedy's not for everyone, but the "supremely confident yet inescapably incompetent" schtick of Atkinson's titular character, while basically the entire film, never failed to make me laugh (a couple small highlights: his failed coat-throw, botched final romantic gesture), and his chemistry with long-suffering straight man Bough is delightful. The ridiculous plot, of course, leaves things to be desired (Sauvage's sudden burst of anger provides a much too convenient resolve).

It's quite silly, which is just fine by me. The problem is that it misses more than it hits.
