Rowan Atkinson
Reviews Featuring Rowan Atkinson
Unoriginal, non-sensical and not particularly funny.
One long, drawn-out and not even accidentally funny mess.
Regardless of Disneys reasons for choosing to release this now, its a fantastic example of just how good the pre-Pixar generation toons could be. A real mane attraction (arf!).
Plenty of people will love this film (you know who you are), but personally I couldnt wait to escape the theatre by the time the full 135 minutes had been wrung dry.
Contains roughly deux funny bits.
Maybe not.
Hugh Grant earned his status as the bungling toffs bungling toff with his now-familiar display in this likable, quintessentially English, rom-com.
Despite having some amusing moments, Johnny English is too sanitised and features too much unfunny slapstick to appeal to even a semi-sophisticated audience. Hopefully it's not the death knell for Rowan Atkinson.
