Johnny English (2003)

surprisingly funny

[30 August 2003]

I wasn't a big fan of Rowan Atkinson and didn't have a lot of expectation out of this film, but it really cracked me up. First of all, you need to understand "Johnny English" is not a British version of "Austin Power". I found "A.P" ridiculous in general and didn't always appreciate their jokes. But Johnny English is one of those better made spy topic comedian films.

The best approach of watching this movie is to see it without a lot of expectation and I assure you that you will have a good time.

Basic (2003)

watchable

The movie isn't as bad as the rating by external reviews reflected. I still enjoyed watch this 100-min DVD. Although its rating will get somewhat better, if it didn't actually film the last 3 min. You were wondering "what's that?" after the movie ends. I will say in general it's a pretty good thriller movie and keep you from guessing and always surprise you. One downside is the names gotta pretty confusing especially they are referring them sometimes by the first name and sometimes by the last.
