    Synopsis

    A lowly pencil pusher working for MI7, Johnny English is suddenly promoted to super spy after Agent One is assassinated and every other agent is blown up at his funeral.

      Wall Street Journal

      The movie is, at times, funny enough to make you cry, and, when it's not, it moves nicely as a parody.

      The Globe and Mail (Toronto)

      Once in a long while, it even comes tantalizingly close to that rarest of modern film commodities -- ribald wit.

      USA Today

      The jokes often are corny or labored, and the story is predictable. However, Atkinson raises the movie to the level of good fun by the force of his outrageous persona and skill at physical comedy.

      Film Threat

      Rowan Atkinson's spy spoof is wildly uneven and yet, at times, nothing less than wildly entertaining.

      Baltimore Sun

      Johnny English never builds any momentum, and Atkinson simply isn't a good enough actor to mine continued laughs from repetitive material.

      San Francisco Chronicle

      By playing the boob so brilliantly, Atkinson allows us the catharsis of recognizing our own incompetencies and lack of poise.

      Despite its contemporary-sounding anti-French cracks, could easily have been made 20 years ago.

      Film Threat

      All in all, Johnny English isn’t a bad effort. Rowan Atkinson is much more of a comedian than Mike Myers is, but unfortunately Myers had the spy spoof down pat.
