Starring Rowan Atkinson, Gillian Anderson, Rosamund Pike, Dominic West
Did you hear anyone say, 'I can't wait for Johnny English 2' in 2003?
I didn't either.
That's not to say I disliked it. Johnny English was a charming, fun take on a well meaning spy who just thought too highly of himself. The makers wanted a new British Inspector Clouseau, and they relied their faith on Rowan Atkinson.
Now English is called back. He's been in Tibet, training himself to become a more centered individual. MI:7 want him back as he's the only way of getting information on the mysterious Vortex group.
Rowan Atkinson does his job well. Whatever isn't funny in the script he gives a go. Though he rarely succeeds. Most of the cast really do leave the work up to Atkinson. Surprises aren't rampant enough. It's as charming as Zoolander. But it's also as funny as it. Not saying as much.
3/5
