Summary: Funny and silly
Review: Summary:
Johnny English (Rowan Atkinson) is a novice member of MI-5, the British top secret intelligence service. When projects under Johnny's responsibility result in the deaths of all of the real MI-5 agents, MI-5 has no choice but to turn to Johnny English as their new top agent. With his trusty sidekick, Bough (Ben Miller (II)), and a new found acquaintance/American spy, Lorna Campbell (Natalie Imbruglia), Johnny happens upon a plot by Pascal Sauvage (John Malkovich) to become King of England and then turn his new kingdom into one giant prison (because he's French and he really doesn't like the British). Johnny continuously bumbles his way, in a very much Mr. Magoo like fashion, through all of the plots and twists, amazingly staying alive (of course, Bough and Lorna do most of the work) and even gets himself crowned King in the end. My Comments:
This movie isn't anything particularly groundbreaking, but it is still pretty funny. The story, a plot to turn England into a giant prison by a villain who also wants to become King is, actually, new. It isn't very interesting, but it is new. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone proposing that before. As for the villain's plans being ruined by a bumbling secret agent, that isn't new. So, despite coming up with a new, though completely uninteresting, plan for conquering the world, the movie resorts to a pretty traditional plot device - secret agents. There are also a few points in the storyline that aren't all that clear and the movie has a tendency to jump around quite a bit - from location to location without the connections to them being set up before hand (like arriving at Pascal's castle out of the blue). But the problems aren't big enough to be distracting. As for the acting, it actually was pretty good. I'm still amazed at how much Rowan Atkinson can do with his face. His ability to display so many expressions so clearly is absolutely astounding. As for the rest of the cast, they were good supporting cast members, but that was about it. John Malkovich was a decent French villain, though whether or not his accent was any good I don't know because I'm not really qualified to recognize a good French accent when I hear one. I don't remember Natalie Imbruglia as being a stand out supporting actress, but then again, most of the female actresses in movies like this are in it for their looks and not their acting ability. I don't remember her being horrible, either though, so she must not have been too bad. Overall, I really enjoyed this movie. It is British humor, which probably isn't funny to everyone. And, a lot of the humor is pretty silly humor (there's even some literal potty humor), but I couldn't help from laughing. If you've seen Rowan Atkinson as Mr. Bean and like his work, you'll probably really enjoy this film. If not, this might be a good movie with which to start, even for non British humor lovers. I recommend this film.

Summary: Above average spoof
Review: This is Rowan Atkinson's best leading role, not that this is saying very much. However, Rowan Atkinson's character is a good-natured buffoon that tries his best, which is a separation from the more selfish character of Mr. Bean. However, it's impossible to have a complete separation, and we see a lot of skits that Atkinson has already done multiple times in other venues. Another weakness to this movie is that it is just another spy spoof, akin to the numerous Leslie Nielson movies we have all seen. It is almost a believable plotline though, which would've made the movie a stronger satire, had not John Malkovich's role had not been so entirely unbelievable. Needless to say, Malkovich took a weak character and made him worse, and his performance was enough to keep me from wanting to see this movie again. But there are some very funny scenes that make this movie very fun. There's a hilarious chase scene, along with a series of funny scenes at the headquarters of the secret organization involving Atkinson that left me out of breath. Atkinson's brilliance along with strong support from the rest of the cast (minus Malkovich) make this movie a worthwhile trip, as long as you keep your expectations low.

Summary: Rowan Atkinson:Comic genius
Review: Do not confuse this intelligent movie with the James Bond spoofs like Austin Powers. The subject matter seems similar but the comic genious of Mr. Atkinson demonstrates that a movie can be funny without using [physical]inuendo and [stuff]. If you followed the Blackadder series you already know that Atkinson's character acting is beyond Mr. Bean. Too bad that this movie has been advertised as "Bean meets Bond for American audiences. Unfortunately he is stuck with that image of Bean. His wit and vocal characterizations are in the same class with the finest comic and dramatic actors. If you want to see a clean movie for the whole family this is for you. Even there is some harmless bath room humor. If you want to explore the intelligent comedy of Rowan Atkinson go beyond Mr. Bean and see his hilarous Blackadder series. You would also have the opportunity to learn some British history.

Summary: Johnny English
Review: I find the set of Rowam Atkinson's movies rather slapstick so this movie was a pleasant surprise. Being from England myself I tend to prefer English humour but my friend who is American went with me and we both laughed all the way through the movie. I enjoyed it so much that I would love for a sequel to be made. I refuse to see Austim Power's but thought this Johhny English movie was a must see. It was a great afternoon spend at the movie and I would love to watch it again.

Summary: Rowan Atkinson AKA (Mr. Bean,Johnny English)1 WICKED!! MOVIE
Review: 007 & Austin Danger Powers watch out Johnny English has arived! This movie is fun for the whole family. This movie will make you laugh even if your French (there are some realy good French jokes in this movie). This movie made me laugh so much I started to cry. Good story good content one of the best movies I have seen all year. The whole spy thing needed a new face and Mike Myers isn't cutting it any more, at least not for me he isn't. Please get off your ass and go see this movie (or I will send a Frenchman to your house to insult you and generally stink up the place). (Sorry about the French thing it's an English/American thing & only a joke)

Summary: If you want a few cheap laughs, then this a classic
Review: One of the funniest actors in the trade, Rowan Atkinson is responsible for many hilarious appearances as Mr. Bean. But if your looking for another classic Bean performance, this is not the movie for you. Atkinson is again funny as ever but the movie is redundant and puts Atkinson in situations that are to scripted and not the silliness that a hardcore Bean fan is used to.
This is defiantly a very fun and hilarious movie that includes lots of humor and funny scenes and will delight young audiences. The movie can get boring at times and even the youngsters will get bored with redundant and insignificant scenes. But they will be satisfied.
You follow Johnny English through his embarrassing adventures as he tries to be a master spy. He never quite becomes a great agent, or even an adequate agent but does end up saving his country by being crowned King of England. This should give you an idea of the seriousness of this movie.
If you want a few cheap laughs, then this a classic. But for the regular moviegoer, this is a funny movie but can be boring because of a complete lack any sort of plot.
See this movie if: You are a big Bean Fan
You love movies just for Laughs
Aged 10 or younger Do Not See this movie if: You like comedies with a recognizable plot
You dislike kiddie humor

Summary: Mr. Bean meets Mr. Bond...with predictable results.
Review: Being a longtime fan of Blackadder and Mr. Bean, I would watch Rowan Atkinson in anything. "Johnny English" is a similar premise to Austin Powers, but not nearly as funny or raunchy. But it succeeds as a vehicle for Rowan Atkinson to give some good one-liners and a few unique facial expressions, so I pretty much got what I expected. Johnny English (Atkinson) is a middle-level secret agent who is, by default, given the biggest assignment ever handed down...finding the stolen crown jewels, and to thrwart an evil French billionaore's (John Malkovich) plan to take over England. He is not exactly 007 material, though, and he goes through the entire movie bumbling around and making as many mistakes as he can in the 90 minutes the movie allows. His sidekicks (Ben Miller as his smarter partner, and Natalie Imbruglia as his sexy partner/love interest) spend the entire movie both showing him up and keeping him out of trouble. The acting from Atkinson and, in particular, Malkovich is top notch, considering the type of movie this is. Atkinson plays a less-silly (but equally inept) Mr. Bean, while Malkovich hams it up as a Frenchman with a surprisingly convincing accent. Imruglia has never looked better, and provides the strong female lead needed. The script is surprisingly smart at times, and has a few snappy lines about the French (a popular target in British comedy) that will raise a few laughs. While it it not non-stop laughs, the funny moments are all good ones. "Johnny English" is just what you would expect- a watchable comedy that has no aspirations to compete with Austin Powers. Going into this movie with the highest of expectations would be a mistake, but if you are looking to lose yourself in a dumb comedy, you can do no better than "Johnny English".
