Johnny English [Blu-ray]

Love it, my childhood....teenhood..?

How can you go wrong with Rowan Sebastian Atkinson for laughs? In fact, truth is even when he is not doing comedy you feel that you are watching Mr. Bean TV series. Adding to that he becomes Britain's *only* spy. After a sudden attack on United Kingdom's domestic counter-intelligence and security agency MI5 and now he must go against a villain who has intent on stealing Britain's Crown Jewels, Sounds exiting right? - Obviously ..it is not what you think.. This is hilarious!Natalie Imbruglia the Australian-British singer-songwriter? who made songs like "Torn" remember her? still has that adorable "pixie-like" face looks exactly the same today as it did in her 1990s video for Torn & "Wrong impression". Well, if you did not have enough laughs with Mr. Bean then you will enjoy her lovable company too in this nice enjoyable comedy.Five stars! indeed.

For me, Johnny English is a worthy rival to Austin Powers in this movie. Rowan Atkinson’s hilarious yet earnestly incompetent character is both watchable and rewatchable.The villain has a great deal of suave cleverness.Standout scenes include the bungled infiltration of the villains lair (with a love mic at the wrong moment, the theft of the Crown Jewels and a suspenseful car chase follows by a confrontation at a funeral which quickly becomes farcical.The female lead isn’t as funny as some of the other characters but makes up for it in coolness.The absolute standout for me is Ben Miller as Johnny’s hyper competent, yet unassuming, sidekick Bough. He’s one of the better straight man characters I’ve seen in a while.I liked the slightly more competent Johnny in the sequels, but for me, this movie remains the iconic version of the character.I look forward to rewatching this movie in a few years once I’ve forgotten enough jokes to be surprised by it again. Unfortunately, given how much I liked said jokes, a few years might be too optimistic.

Listen all you adult-aged reviewers, let's loosen up here. This movie is not for movie connoiseurs. This movie is for getting laughs. And if you insist on holding a prissy, stuck-up attitude then you just won't have a good time, period.Us pursed-lip adults sometimes have to relax, let our facial muscles go(lower those eyebrows, unfurrow the forehead, unpurse our lips, and unclench our jaws) and let humor, even slapstick humor, get the best of us. Some of us are so full of our previous knowledge of movie-viewing or Mr. Bean and Atkinson material("I saw this and I saw that and this movie just ain't as blablabla" or "Atkinson ain't as good in this as in yadayada...").Children don't care about the history of movies and Atkinson tv series. Watch kids enjoy this movie. They know how to have a good time in the moment. My kids were in stitches over Atkinson's antics and all his facial expressions.My husband got a good share of laughs, sometimes to the point of tears---and it is good to see my husband laugh even if it is over Johnny English. Myself? I have to admit I laughed too. And how could I not enjoy myself with my kids dancing around during Rowan's little mini music video with his toothbrushes in the shower? We rewinded the movie 3 times just to watch that part over and over again. Little children don't get tired of rewinding their favorite parts, you know. One son said we should keep on replaying it until he memorized the song lines. (I insisted we didn't rewind as far back as the unveiling of the Archbishop, though it was their other favorite part of the movie).Leave the movie critic behind you. Watch the movie for laughs. Have a good time viewing it with kids or adults. Don't resist the humor. Relax, enjoy, and let yourself just laugh for humor's sake.

I am not always a Rowan Atkinson fan but holy cow he triumphed in this movie. Funny, smart, excellent witty dialogue and fabulously funny scenes and acting. A Family favorite. Absolutely marvelous! We rave and recommend all the time. Definitely the best of the 3 Johnny English movies.

Funny family movie - my son loves it

Johnny English is definitely one of those movies where you just can't imagine any other actor playing the lead role than the one chosen. Rowan Atkinson plays a character who is as adorable and driven as he is a pathetic idiot, which actually somehow makes it believable that a female character could fall for him. Between Johnny English's charm, his joie de vivre, one cannot help but fall in love with this character whose determination constantly leads him to ruin every mission he takes on. Despite the obvious blunders, it is the subtle moments that cause the greatest laughs. Atkinson's remarkable timing and his subtle physical actions will bring on the laughs regardless of what script is thrown his way. I had seen some of his earlier works (Bean) and I actually enjoyed this movie equally, if not more. Though die hard fans seem to complain this movie does not live up to the Bean legacy, I see this film as a great introduction to Rowan Atkinson for those who have not seen Bean.No credit seems to go to Johnny English's partner, Bough (pronounced "Buff" and brilliantly played by Ben Miller). Bough is the straight man who can actually get the job done, but due to his rank he must ride in the dangerous wake of his mentor, English. The way Atkinson and Miller play off each other is astonishing. Bough seems to recognize English's errors, but cannot admit them either out of respect to his superior, or possibly even sympathy.This movie contains the perfect balance of slapstick and spy action/adventure. Certainly there is a moment here or there that I find forced or not as funny as it could have been, but all is forgiven since most of the film leaves me laughing more each time I watch it.

If you like a stupid yet kinda funny movie give it a try... Not my cup of tea.

Es una película muy entretenida y te hace reir y pasar muy buen rato. Merece la pena verla. Me gusta mucho este tipo de películas y Mr. Bean trabaja muy bien.
