Mike Myers has worked this material to death.
There weren't enough good laughs for me to recommend it to anyone other than the most devoted Beanheads.
[A] completely unnecessary and nearly chuckle-free spy movie spoof ...
So much of Johnny English should be funnier than it is.
A hugely redundant spy spoof.
The spy parts aren't exciting enough and the funny parts aren't funny enough.
While it lives up to the very definition of 'hit and miss', the parts that hit are very funny.
You won't die laughing in the theater, but the filmmakers aren't asking you to, as they do in the frantic, adolescent comedies that dominate the market. It's a pleasure.
Another feeble 007 parody.
Straight from Tony Blair, English's next assignment is a suicide mission: to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
Belongs on an old-time double bill, where it would satisfy, if only because we'd be into the second movie before we noticed that the first came up a bit short on laughs.
There's a decent selection of extras on the Johnny English DVD, although it certainly doesn't offer a James Bond-style array.
Johnny English is sophomoric, silly, cheesy, brainless, puerile - pick any synonym for the word "stupid" - but it is also, if you're in the right mood, pretty funny.
Excruciatingly predictable
