The movie is silly, silly, silly -- and proud of it. There's a good chance you will be giggling helplessly at some point in Johnny English, and 7- to 14-year-olds will be giddy throughout.

The spy parts aren't exciting enough and the funny parts aren't funny enough.

Inept and painfully unfunny.

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 ...

Jul 29, 2013I remember the old adverts that had this character originally. He was funny then...in short bursts! Unfortunately Mike Myers has spoofed the spy genre too well and although this tries to go after the Moore/Brosnan type spy it still pales in comparison. Some of the jokes are funny and Atkinson is at his best when he allows his physicality to do most of the work but a lot of it feels laboured and what's Malkovich doing in this type of film!?!!! Can't believe this was popular enough to get a sequel! It's not terrible but it's hardly the peak of British humour.David S Super Reviewer

May 16, 2012Johnny 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.Alex r Super Reviewer
