Mr. Bean meets Mr. Bond in Johnny English, a spy spoof that skewers the genre with Rowan Atkinson's trademark brand of veddy-British slapstick. It's a bit half-baked as a wannabe franchise, but Atkinson's creation of a new screen persona is just promising enough to warrant a sequel, despite critics' complaints that Austin Powers had already exhausted the spy-spoof's potential. Poppycock! Atkinson's gift for physical and, in this case, even verbal humor will surely please his devoted fans, even when a rather tepidly comedic screenplay prevents the British funnyman from reaching new heights of absurdity. As bumbling superspy Johnny English, who gains top-level MI-7 clearance after inadvertently causing a colleague's demise, Atkinson breathes life into gags that are too familiar to earn such an amusing revival. With John Malkovich as a smarmy Frenchman determined to overthrow the British monarchy, and Natalie Imbruglia as Johnny's comely comrade-in-arms, this slight but enjoyable comedy gives Atkinson plenty of opportunity to mug it up as only he can. --Jeff Shannon

 Loved This Movie October 13, 2008
It's a great story, great acting, excellent comedy... and all round great film.
I honestly couldn't say much more without giving away the story... needless to say, there's a laugh or three in every scene.
 funny movie September 21, 2008
I love Rowan Atkinson's Mr. Bean, so I love this movie. If you like Get Smart, then you'll probably like this one as well.
ROWAN ATKINSON AT HIS BEST - BRING ON THE SEQUEL!!! August 11, 2008
Rowan Atkinson is simply one of the best comedians ever. His portrayal of Mr. Bean and other characters earned him fame and recognition. The Mr. Bean movie met with mixed reviews if only because is was mostly material taken from his wildly successful TV series. THIS movie however is 100% original and shows Atkinson at his very best. If you are a fan of his you will NOT be disappointed. And if you're not a fan, you may just become one. I actually much prefer this light-hearted spoof of the Bond series over others like Austin Powers. It's one of my favorites. Take Atkinson's comic genius, a talented comic foil, throw in an Aston Martin, and a love interest who is FAR sexier than ALL the Bond women combined, and how can you go wrong? Johnny English is a winner and I can't wait for a sequel!!! PS - PLEASE leave out the potty jokes in the next movie. There is one bathroom scene in this movie which is really disgusting and not at all funny. Atkinson is more talented than that.
Just good Fun September 24, 2007
I just thoroughly enjoyed watching this - reminded me of Leslie Nielson and the spoofs of Airplane and Police Squad. Totally silly, I missed a lot of stuff the first time due to extreme laughter. The second viewing was just as enjoyable as the first even tho' I knew what was coming up. I highly recommend for a fun evening of laughs.
Rowan Atkinson is more than Mr. Bean.... September 7, 2007
One of the things that makes Rowan Atkinson a comic genius is that he's a master at both spoken and physical comedy. While fans of Mr. Bean will see Atkinson's physical comedy, fans of the Black Adder series know his comic timing is truly a thing of beauty.
Johnny English is one of the very few pieces that shows Atkinson giving equal time to both. The scene at the funeral can go down as a comedy classic. This film is hilarious.
