Critic Reviews

  • Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

    Mike Myers has worked this material to death.

  • Jack Mathews, New York Daily News

    There weren't enough good laughs for me to recommend it to anyone other than the most devoted Beanheads.

  • Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

    [A] completely unnecessary and nearly chuckle-free spy movie spoof ...

  • Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

    So much of Johnny English should be funnier than it is.

  • Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post

    Innocuous, if dumb, fun.

    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.
