Johnny English

Johnny English 2 stars

Gotta issue a disclaimer here that my full attention wasn’t on it, but really for a movie like this should that be necessary? And I’ve always said that if a movie’s good it will grab my attention. But I’m a little disappointed to say I’d rather watch Agent Cody Banks 2 than this.

Natalie Imbruglia’s a really nice idea for the cute girl sidekick and she’s nice eye-candy and does a decent job with the lines she’s given but it’s not as impressive as her music. Rowan Atkinson is like the British version of Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean in his facial expressions and physical humour, but it all kinda falls flat. It’s one of those unfortunately many misguided examples of bad British cinema. It’s no Bean, and I say that in the face of all cynical sniggers it might trigger, that movie was operatic in its comedy. Despite the lack of attention I gave it, I really don’t see myself watching this ever again.
