Johnny English Details

[Highly rated reviewer]

brilliant......

This dvd of the film with rowan atkinson as johnny english is very funny. The film is full of hilarious jokes and action from start to finish. the classic moments in the film are when Johnny has a fight with himself, accidentally shoots a secretary with his 'pen', gets his tie caught up in the conveyor belt when eating Sushi and having the wrong video shown as Pascal Sauvage prepares to rule the country. My daughter's favourite part was when johnny sings to abba in the bathroom scene.

well worth renting out.

You know exactly what you're going to get...

...and if that's what you like, I'm sure you're not going to be disappointed.

I wanted to see if Rowan and co. could surprise me with this release. I'm not a fan of Mr. Bean (though that isn't to take anything away from it) - somewhat purile, jokes telegraphed some years ahead seemingly, though some scenes had me laughing out loud. Maybe I'm too sophisticated in my humour, or maybe I'm not the target audience for a film like this, but on average I smiled rather than guffawed through this one (with more than one cringe at some of the execution, it has to be said). I'm sure afficionados of Mr. Atkinson will sing its praises, and younger audiences will howl with glee at the antics of this inept agent, but not me. Nicely executed stunts and setups, some nice cinematography and good direction make this worth watching even if your not a 'Bean' fan. Natalie Imbruglia is very good in her role, as is the supporting role of Bough, though different from the the role suggested by the original 'BC' adverts. Not one of Malkovich's best roles by far, but refreshingly lighthearted and a well-portrayed and likeable villain!
