  Johnny English is a horrible attempt at doing yet another parody of James Bond. The genre had been parodied with the superior Austin Powers, but it seems like they needed yet another spoof flick to make a bit more money. This film fails at delivering effective laughs. Rowan Atkinson is tiresome and boring here, and you can see the career of a once great comedian fall apart on-screen. Atkinson has created one of comedies greatest characters with Mr. Bean. However with this film, he delivers a painfully unfunny performance that doesn't cut it. This is a pointless film, and if you're looking for the spy film parody, watch the Austin Powers films instead. Rowan Atkinson is wasted here, and he has displayed better comedic performances in the past. This film is simply a misfire. I really didn't enjoy the film, as I felt that the joke were predictable, and overdone. This film was a letdown, and I expected better from Rowan Atkinson. Essentially this is Mr. Bean as a spy, and nothing more. Johnny English could have been good, but it suffers from a poor script, and poor acting. This comedy isn't funny, and there are more bad things with it than good. Rowan Atkinson has done better in the past, but with this one he misses the mark big time. Watch Austin Powers instead. Johnny English is a case of it's been done before, and better too.

  OMFG Rowan Atkinson is awesome in this role, he was clearly born to play this role! Its hilarious and thoroughly entertaining and enjoyable with a great cast and a great story and awesome movie! Reallyu worth a wtach!!

• Candy R

  
  Spoof spy movie. Rowan is an inept spy who causes havoc wherever he goes. John is the bad guy who steals the crown jewels and wants to become King of England.

• Martin S

  
  This is just good old family fun. It's just funny...that's all there is to say

• Directors C

  
  Acceptable family entertainment. The moments that miss drag the film down, but the moments that hit are enough to keep this on its feet...for kids anyway.

  "Johnny English" has no interesting characters, besides Rowan Atkinson, and the fact that I laughed maybe twice, makes this a film that truly wastes it's star powered cast. You can see the comedy coming from a mile away, the dialogue that drives the film seems to be a complete steal from "The Naked Gun" films, there is absolutely no use of mise en scene anywhere that is notable, and the fact that I thought 80 minutes was too long for this junk is very sad. This film represents a new low in comedy even though a few scenes cracked me up. I will forget about the events in this film by the time I wake up tomorrow. "Johnny English" is one big letdown.

  Well seeing as the sequel is out now I thought I would revisit this original comedy but I was disappointed with how badly this has aged and how lame it is. The film of course is a 'Bond' spoof which in hand is so so so unoriginal and boring as its been done to death many times whilst on the other hand the film does almost ignore the much better advertisements for 'Barclaycard' which the film is based on. The original short adverts were so much better than the film probably because they were short and sweet where as the film is just too dull and literately uses every old trick in the book for laughs, shamelessly so, whilst being unbelievably predictable, childish and completely unfunny. Lets hope the sequel is better with alittle more clever humour and less chucklevision humour, the original adverts did use the same type of humour but it was alittle more subtle where as this is just dumb kiddie stuff.

  An entertaining if slightly silly film. It has its fair share of funny moments for all, one all the family can enjoy.

  Despite the critics despising it, Johnny English has to be one of my favourite films. The reason you can watch it again and again and again, yet it never fails to make me laugh and almost choke to death. It's not a masterpiece, there's no fantastic cinematography, incredible screenplay or brilliant direction. However the cast's reactions and the situations they encounter have people laughing and laughing over and over again, no matter what the scene. As I watch it again and again I find myself releasing what a wonderful scene is coming up and how I laugh again and again. Don't listen to the critics or anybody for that matter. Go see for yourselves what a fantastic comedy "English" is. I'm not trying to use slang but this film is a laugh out loud. **** 4 Star

• Drake T

  
  Spy spoof that dabbles in outdated Mr.Bean-esque humor. We move from one skit to the next as everything is hung loosely on the context of this silly "story". Rarely remarkable and chalk full of cheap laughs. Atkinson either needs to get some wittier writers or retire.

• Bethany M

  
  Hilarious! Mr.Bean at his best, as usual.

• Dead A

  
  Ah Mr. Bean can talk! And he is a spy! *laughs* Rowan Atkinson was no different in this movie. The only two part that was added in his character was talking and wannabe smart (which he keeps failing noticeably). I did enjoyed this movie pretty much. There were some cheesy moments but… More
  Ah Mr. Bean can talk! And he is a spy! *laughs* Rowan Atkinson was no different in this movie. The only two part that was added in his character was talking and wannabe smart (which he keeps failing noticeably). I did enjoyed this movie pretty much. There were some cheesy moments but that was covered by the good jokes. Though I hated the <i>shit</i> scene. That was grossgusting. <a href="http://s1039.photobucket.com/albums/a471/3niR/?action=view&current=ben_miller4.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a471/3niR/ben_miller4.jpg" border="0" alt="Johnny English"></a>

  Bloody dull and stupid of British spy spoof.

• Lafe F

  
  Buffoonish Spy Comedy with Rowan Atkinson as Johnny English. It's far-fetched comedy with a bunch of silly chases and action scenes. I couldn't get into it too much.

• Ross C

  
  Rowan Atkinson's character from the Barclay Card adverts provides a much better big-screen adaptation than Mr Bean. Very enjoyable light-hearted entertainment.

• Kylie B

  
  Better (and funnier) than Mr Bean but not great. The French villan steals the show.
