Not a must see
25 December 2021
Despite a strong lineup of big names including Atkinson and Malkovich, Johnny English only barely carves the surface.

It's a spoof take on James Bond movies, with Atkinson as our lead and Malkovich as our protagonist. It's a fun little movie but by no means a must watch. I like stupid comedies and this one is no exception but this movie is more stupid then it is funny which doesn't always work well here. I still enjoyed this movie as it is relaxing and very easy to sit through.

I was interested to see Natalie Imbruglia as the co-main alongside Atkinson. She's attractive and she's well known for her hit song "Torn", and I had no idea she acted so it surprised me to see her in this role. She is decent and does what she can with the middling script she is given but her performance isn't any way mesmerizing.

I saw it the one time and that'll do. It's an ok flick.
