After a sudden attack on the MI5, Johnny English, Britain's most confident yet unintelligent spy, becomes Britain's only spy. Johnny English is a parody of the 007 James Bond movies and it stars Rowan Atkinson as English and John Malkovich as Pascal Sauvage, the Greedy Frenchman. The film has some hilarious moments like that scene where he was covered in poo or even him singing in front of the camera my only issue with the first film was Malkovich's character although he is really good in the movie his motivations lack anything new he is just another villain that tries to take over the world and in the end he basically explains his evil plan on his own without any evidence from any of our main heroes but other than that this movie is funny and terrific thanks to Atkinson's charm and talent something that has been lost today since the only thing we get is Melissa McCarthy falling from the stairs and Adam Sandler trying to make westerns sad but true. Johnny English gets an 9/10 and a A-

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.

It looks like James Bond turns upside down as Rowan Atkinson stars in this spy spoof where England's intelligence agency becomes under attack, leaving the confident but blundering Johnny English (Atkinson) the only spy agent to save his country from a villainous despot. Filmed with fast-paced action and endless gags and humor, this film will surely entertain you from start to finish. Singer Natalie Imbruilia portrays Johnny English's partner-in-crime and they made a great team together; their chemistry is just hilarious. And, John Malkovich makes a fitting villain for the movie. The shower scene where Johnny dances to ABBA's "Does Your Mother Know" was one of, I think, the most memorable scenes - gives a hilarious new perspective view of the song!Overall, a very entertaining film and, like all spoofs, not to be taken seriously. But, it's filmed in a way that is tastefully done and not overbearingly stupid. Grade B

Johnny English is what it promises to be – an amusing and light-heard film. But what would you expect from Rowan Atkinson, the actor in Mr Bean? There are some strikingly funny scenes in the movie. But be prepared for some outlandish humor and chauvinistic jokes. But be prepared also for 007 and Austin Powers-style gadgets, which (I hope) you'll also laugh at, as I did.However, there are some weaker aspects to the film. For example, the movie portrays Chinese people as the bad guys and, in a way, vilifies them (though there are certainly bad apples in the Chinese race). Another one is that thinking logically, you would find some scenes improbable.In short, though this movie was a bit short of in-depth food for thought, it was a quite funny and light-hearted comedy. Very suitable if you're just looking for an hour or so of laughter and nothing in-depth.
