It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Absolutely the worst movie.

Why on earth is this film rated so low?Its an excellent comedy in its on right, in its own style. More for a younger audience, yes, but that shouldn't affect an objective rating.My rating is based on the first time I saw it in the cinema, aged 14.
A silly film, yes, but not a significant step down in depth/quality on blackadder, for instance- as some claim.Criticisms in the bad reviews are silly, irrelevant and non objective.

Universal Pictures, StudioCanal and Working Title Films have created a fine spoof of 007, known as Johnny English. Rowan Atkinson, known for playing Mr. Bean, Blackadder and starring in a James Bond movie (Never Say Never Again) plays the lead role in this comedy. Johnny English is basically a fool who is upgraded to MI-7 intelligence duties after an explosion leaves the other agents dead. He is totally unqualified for the job, but always gets it done. Just as with his other roles, Rowan Atkinson plays this role finely with sharp wit. The supporting cast was rather well rounded. Ben Miller as Bough, the more sensible one, you have Natalie Imbruglia as INTERPOL Agent Lorna Campbell, though she is way out of the lead character's league, being rather well rounded on this project. Then you have John Malkovich as Pascal Sauvage, the jumped up Frenchman as they put it, with a horrible French accent meant for laughs.Released April 11, 2003 in the UK and July 18, 2003 in the US, this film is rated PG for comic nudity, some crude humor and language in the US. In the UK, it is rated PG for mild language and comic violence. I can say those ratings were deserved due to a couple of mild profanities and a few seconds seeing a man's bare backside which is played for laughs.To compare to Austin Powers, I would say this is superior due to it not being as crude in order to get laughs. Austin Powers took it a bit too far in some scenes, whereas this is cleaner and wittier. Don't get me wrong, Austin Powers, I find funny, but a little risqué sometimes, therefore taking away some of my enjoyment of the film.Johnny English is not a laugh until you're crying movie, but a clever, witty, sublime film for the family to enjoy!The DVD has some nice extras added, including making of, spy tips, etc. Presented in 1.85:1 widescreen with Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound! 8/10

Johnny English is what it promises to be – an amusing and light-heard film. But what would you expect from Rowan Atkinson, the actor in Mr Bean? There are some strikingly funny scenes in the movie. But be prepared for some outlandish humour and chauvinistic jokes. But be prepared also for 007 and Austin Powers-style gadgets, which (I hope) you'll also laugh at, as I did.However, there are some weaker aspects to the film. For example, the movie portrays Chinese people as the bad guys and, in a way, vilifies them (though there are certainly bad apples in the Chinese race). Another one is that thinking logically, you would find some scenes improbable.In short, though this movie was a bit short of in-depth food for thought, it was a quite funny and light-hearted comedy. Very suitable if you're just looking for an hour or so of laughter and nothing in-depth.

Johnny English is not the most intelligent movie ever made in the world and certainly not the greatest comedy film of the century. Though when you look at parody films Jonny English has to be the best one ever.Atkinson proves his skill of acting again which he has done before in other shows like the famous Mr bean. Other actors also have done their parts well. All the scenes of the movie that showed Atkinson in it produced either smiles or made you jump from your seats. Though many of the scenes are a bit unintelligent, it still created hum. In short Johnny English is a great Parody and should be watched by all viewers in the world.I hope the sequel is also great.If you haven't watched it yet then all I can say is go bu the DVD or borrow it. I give it a 8.
