Johnny English
Rent & Buy
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.
What critics thought
A mild spy spoof built around Rowan Atkinson's physical comedy, Johnny English landed with critics as too tame and infrequent in its laughs to fully work as a parody. Audiences were warmer than reviewers, suggesting the film plays better to fans of Atkinson's brand of bumbling slapstick than to those expecting a sharper comic takedown of the Bond formula.
