Amazon.co.uk Review
There have been films based on books, video games, theme park rides and even songs, but IJohnny English/I must be the first one based on an advert. Taking its inspiration from the Barclaycard commercials, which starred Rowan Atkinson as a hapless MI6 agent, this full-length film is a cross between a James Bond spoof and Mr Bean. Johnny (a pen-pusher who dreams of a life in her majesty's secret service) is given the mission to protect the crown jewels after a bomb kills all of MI6's existing spies. Unfortunately they are stolen from right under his nose by evil industrialist, Pascal Sauvage (a ridiculously accented John Malkovich) who is intent on seizing the British throne and turning the UK into the biggest prison colony in the world. Thus follows comic set-piece after set-piece, including a hilarious car chase and the obligatory breaking-into-the-evil-genius's-lair sequence, in which English, ably assisted by his much more intelligent subordinate Bough (a brilliantly patient Ben Miller), tries to recover the jewels, stop Sauvage's nefarious scheme, prove to his superiors that he is not completely insane and get the girl, here an Interpol agent played by Natalie Imbruglia. p It's a one-joke movie: he's the worst secret agent in the world. Situations and script are more than a trifle cliched, too, and John Malkovich's performance is cringeworthy. But Atkinson's talent for creating a frustrating but ultimately endearing character is firmly set in the British tradition of rooting for the underdog. The result is an entertaining and endearing spoof with some genuinely laugh-out-loud moments and sparks of originality that more than outnumber the groans. --IKristen Bowditch/I

 One Thing I've Never Understood January 7, 2009
I've never understood why this got slauhtered in the reviews. Sure, if you were hoping for a James Bond style page turning plot, your going to be disappointed, but as a comedy this is almost second to none. Good old fashioned British sillyness, just like Granny used to make
Brilliant, British fun with English January 4, 2009
Derived from a hilarious series of credit card commercials, Rowan Atkinson delivers his version of the James Bond parody. A daydreaming, bungling civil servant finds that he has become Britain's last hope after an explosion killed all the other agents. br /During the opening titles, he wanders through Whitehall corridors accompanied by an upbeat Robbie Williams track as he tries to find the correct office. He then throws his coat out the window and accidentally shoots his boss's secretary with a fountain pen. These first minutes create the type of comic setpiece that holds this film together as Atkinson plays the spy who has no awareness of his own limitations . He is aided by Ben Millar as his sensible sidekick and by the beautiful Natalie Imbruglia who manages to make the Bond girl role believable.br /What brought John Malkovich to the role of the villain. He seems to be having a ball, providing a perfect foil to the uptight patriotic English with his languid charm, strong French accent and cold disdainful sneer.br /Whilst the plot of the film lacks rigour, it comprises a strong sequence of hilarious incidents culminating in the exposure of the Archbishop of Canterbury at a coronation and it retains a strong sense of affection for the material it is spoofing.
Johnny English's surprising triumph August 14, 2008
This film surprised me in more ways than one: Rowan Atkinson was much better than in Mr. Bean, for starters. Yet another thing that surprised me was how funny it actually was, I expected something on a par with 'School of Rock' which I have previously reviewed (look for 'school of rocks and pebbles and stuff' if you wish to read it), but it was just in a very different league. For example, 'Johnny English' has plenty of laugh out loud moments, and an ending which is entertaining, not just some big shoot out( the coat scene is pure gold.), so why the four stars?br /There are laugh out loud moment, lots, however some jokes are just overused: certain jokes are nearly as familiar as,br /"Duck!"br /"Where?" Then something hits the hero on the forehead. Wow. How original.br /Anyway, apart from these moments, this is one of the few brilliant films today, so I definitely recommend it.
Immensly funny! January 4, 2008
Rowan Atkinson is great in it. The script is good and the acting is brilliant. I laughed out loud loads of times. This is an overall amazing film. A great James Bond spoof. I'd recommend this to all comedy fans out there!

I'm British, I'm Bloody British and I love this film!br /So to all those people who clearly have no sense of humour, or need something 'deeper' to entertain them - bog off and stop spoiling the fun for everyone else!br /br /James Bond is a British institution, and like most of our institutions we love taking the mickey out of them. In my opinion, this film does it to an earl grey tea. br /Rowan Atkinson could not have been better cast to play the part of an inept, but stalwart British Agent, and it was wonderful to see his long suffering yet dependable side-kick Boff making a substantial contribution to the film.br /br /Johnny English took the mission, beat the bad guys, got the girl and had a go at the French, who are no doubt crying in their onion soup again!br /br /Finally - the title song, by Robbie Williams, is brilliant!
