Movie Reviews of Johnny English (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: The right man for the job... I give it double-o-SEVEN stars!
Summary: 5 Stars
Johnny English is definitely one of those movies where you just can't imagine any other actor playing the lead role than the one chosen. Rowan Atkinson plays a character who is as adorable and driven as he is a pathetic idiot, which actually somehow makes it believable that a female character could fall for him. Between Johnny English's charm, his joie de vivre, one cannot help but fall in love with this character whose determination constantly leads him to ruin every mission he takes on. Despite the obvious blunders, it is the subtle moments that cause the greatest laughs. Atkinson's remarkable timing and his subtle physical actions will bring on the laughs regardless of what script is thrown his way. I had seen some of his earlier works (Bean) and I actually enjoyed this movie equally, if not more. Though die hard fans seem to complain this movie does not live up to the Bean legacy, I see this film as a great introduction to Rowan Atkinson for those who have not seen Bean.
No credit seems to go to Johnny English's partner, Bough (pronounced "Buff" and brilliantly played by Ben Miller). Bough is the straight man who can actually get the job done, but due to his rank he must ride in the dangerous wake of his mentor, English. The way Atkinson and Miller play off each other is astonishing. Bough seems to recognize English's errors, but cannot admit them either out of respect to his superior, or possibly even sympathy.
This movie contains the perfect balance of slapstick and spy action/adventure. Certainly there is a moment here or there that I find forced or not as funny as it could have been, but all is forgiven since most of the film leaves me laughing more each time I watch it.
