IMDb 6.3 Metacritic 51 RT 33%

Skip it. Johnny English is a Rowan Atkinson vehicle that trades on physical comedy and spy-movie parody, but it's the kind of broad, winking humor that lands better on cable at 2 AM than as a deliberate night-out choice. Unless you're actively craving low-stakes slapstick and don't mind a film that rarely aims higher than obvious gags, your time is better spent elsewhere.

Plot

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. When a billionaire entrepreneur sponsors the exhibition of the Crown Jewels—and the valuable gems disappear on the opening night and on English's watch—the newly-designated agent must jump into action to find the thief and recover the missing gems.

Director: Peter Howitt

Cast: Rowan Atkinson, Natalie Imbruglia, Ben Miller, John Malkovich, Greg Wise
