	Rowan Atkinson aka Mr. Bean: DVD: Johnny English (Widescreen Edition)
		As bumbling superspy Johnny English, who gains top-level MI-7 clearance after inadvertently causing a colleague's demise, Atkinson breathes life into gags that are too familiar to earn such an amusing revival.
		It is Atkinson, as the title character, who helps make this a delightful surprise, along with some pretty funny sequences: for instance, Atkinson having trouble with his tie in a sushi bar, Atkinson involved in a car chase where the car he's in is hanging from the winch of a tow truck.
		I think that Johnny English is pretty consistent in doling out the laughs, and that makes it a success as far as I'm concerned.

	Johnny English - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Johnny English (2003) is a comic movie parodying the James Bond secret agent genre, starring Rowan Atkinson as the incompetent British spy of the title, with John Malkovich, Natalie Imbruglia and Ben Miller, and featuring a unique car chase.
		The character of Johnny English himself is based on a similar character called Richard Latham who was played by Atkinson in a series of British television commercials for Barclaycard.
		English infiltrates Sauvage's chateau in France on his own and overhears Sauvage's proposal of turning the United Kingdom into a giant prison once he is king.

	Johnny English - Uncyclopedia
		Although very little is known about "English" as he was called, he did enter the public stage very abruptly during the 2003 botched coronation of Sauvage, and due to a mistake on his part was publically humiliated at the event.
		However, English triumphed when a last ditch attempt to stop the crowning took place as he swung from the rails in an attempt to grab the crown before it was placed on Sauvage's head.
		This entire affair which shot English into the public imagination was very embarrasing for the entire British establishment and English himself, who had to endure a DVD of himself in a bathroom miming ABBA's "Does Your Mother Know" which was playing at full blast in the background.

	SCREEN IT! PARENTAL REVIEW: JOHNNY ENGLISH
		English inadvertently disturbs a funeral (thinking it's the bad guys and their ruse) and Bough then shows up and acts as if English has escaped from the asylum and must be talked down from the casket.
		English falls down a recently dug hole onto Bough (who was stuck in it) and both then tumble out of it at the bottom.
		English and Bough hold guns on some suspects, but when English's clip falls to the floor, the men open fire on them and the agents shoot back (no one is hit).

	Ink 19 :: Johnny English
		To tell the truth, Johnny English (making its U.S. debut July 18) is a worldwide smash-hit, and for good reason: the film borrows heavily from Peter Sellers, adds a tiny dash of Roger Moore, and the result is fairly entertaining.
		While a few inventively-shot scenes are to be applauded, the rest of Johnny English could use some '60s-style experimental camera-work without stepping on Austin Powers' shoes; likewise, the whole film could have had a whole style-and-substance makeover -- clever direction meeting Atkinson's cleverness -- without incurring a lawsuit from the Edwards camp.
		Johnny English is a decent matinee view with some laugh-out-loud moments -- and with a promising shelf-life on DVD -- but it could have been so much more.

	TheMovieBoy Review - Johnny English (2003)
		There are two spectacularly funny scenes in "Johnny English." The first concerns Johnny confusing a real-life, tear-filled funeral internment and a staged one, with zany results.
		As Johnny's loyal assistant, Bough (pronounced "Boff"), Ben Miller (2002's "Birthday Girl") splendidly slides into the part of sidekick, while John Malkovich (1999's "Being John Malkovich") puts on a silly French accent and hams it up as main villain Pascal Sauvage.
		Deeds" was rated PG-13 for "rear nudity" (which lasted for all of about 10 seconds), while "Johnny English" is rated PG for "comic nudity" (consisting of a close-up shot of rear nudity that lasts approximately 30 seconds, and closely followed by a scene in which Atkinson gyrates his tighty-whitey-clad pelvis in a sexual manner).

	Johnny English mistakes, goofs and bloopers
		Johnny, obviously not knowing what he is saying replies in Japanese, and an English subtitle is displayed saying 'may all of your daughters be born with three bottoms'.
		Other: In the chase scene, where Johnny and Bough are chasing the hearse, when Bough and Johnny are discussing where the hearse went, Johnny says "They were heading south." Then he turns the steering wheel to his right, yet when it shows a view of the truck it turns to it's left.
		Continuity: When Johnny ejects Lorna Campbell from the car, then lands in the pool, you see Bough specifically uncross his legs and reach for his sunglasses, then when Lorna lifts her head from under the water you can see Bough repeat these actions in exactly the same way.

	Natural Born Viewers: JOHNNY ENGLISH (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Rowan Atkinson is Johnny English, a private detective drafted in by MI7 head Pegasus (Tim Piggot Smith) to find out what happened to one of their agents.
		Whilst English and fellow agent Bough (Miller) do their snooping on French multimillionaire Pascal Suavage (Malkovich) they discover a plan even more deadly: the insane Frenchman is planning to kill off all heirs to the throne so he can become king.
		With its slapdash attitude and incredibly silly funny bone, “Johnny English” is certainly more slapstick than ironic or satirical to appeal to both children and adults: even scatological humour finds its way in there as English gets caught up in a sewer drain and… well, you know the rest.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Johnny English" review (2003) Peter Howitt, Rowan Atkinson, John Malkovich
		Americans have made the "Austin Powers" movies their James Bond spoof of choice, but in "Johnny English" the British strike back with native dry-wit buffoon Rowan Atkinson starring as a bumblingly inept secret agent called up from desk duty when his own ineffectual security gets all the country's top spies killed by a single bomb.
		In "Johnny English" he plays a third-tier intelligence operative with delusions of grandeur and an amusingly paper-thin facade of poise, which along with the over-pronounced features of his rubbery face is just funny enough to sustain the snickers between out-loud laughs in this hit-and-miss comedy.
		What's worse is that the plot falls apart in its climax, which depends not on Johnny English's unsuspected smarts, or even his dumb luck, but on calm, calculating Sauvage blowing his top in "You can't handle the truth!" style and conveniently revealing his megalomania to the entire world live on TV.

	Johnny English (2003) -About the Production
		Johnny English may be one of the first to adapt a film version from…a commercial.
		While forging the script, it was paramount to all that the character of Johnny English remain closer in feel to that über-spy with the numeric moniker than any of the bumbling progeny created in the seemingly unending list of spy spoofs.
		Johnny English isn’t really a liability, he just steps into the wrong room or into the wrong place—but keeps on going because he believes in himself.

	MCN Review: Johnny English
		English works for Britain's Military Intelligence 7 as one of those behind-the-scenes guys who generally gets a single letter in the Bond films.
		English now has the sad task of handling security for the funeral attended by, among others, all other operatives vying to become the new top digit.
		Embracing the nebish that is Johnny English and Rowan Atkinson is key to the film's success or failure and it certainly helps considerably that Malkovich glories in the buffoonish villainy of his character.

		Rowan Atkinson as Johnny English; John Malkovich as Pascal Sauvage; Natalie Imbruglia as Lorna Campbell; Ben Miller as Bough
		Lorna preaches patriotism and perseverance to a discouraged Johnny.

	Johnny English Movie Review at Hollywood Video (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Fortunately, the winners far outnumber the duds in Johnny English, which zips along to its crowd-pleasing finale in just 88 minutes (the filmmakers took to heart the adage that "brevity is the soul of wit").
		While much of the humor is aimed squarely at the lowest common denominator, Johnny English never sinks to the gross-out depths that have become the norm for comedy ever since Cameron Diaz found a new styling gel in There's Something About Mary (1998).
		Johnny English is sophomoric, silly, cheesy, brainless, puerile —pick any synonym for the word "stupid"—but it is also, if you're in the right mood, pretty funny.

	JOHNNY ENGLISH
		My screening of English was plagued with technical problems, which first showed the film with no sound and a backward image (for around five minutes), then with a normal image and no sound (for another five minutes).
		English would have gone from being an unimaginative, laugh-free comedy to an avant-garde experimental film that bemoaned the Hollywood system's money-grabbing penchant for churning out remakes, sequels and spoofs of sequels.
		Speaking of crap, English was penned by Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, who wrote the last two awful Bond films.

	SoundtrackNet : Johnny English Soundtrack
		Johnny English is yet another spoof on the James Bond franchise, but Edward Shearmur takes his scoring duties a bit more seriously than most parody-composers do.
		Shearmur's main theme is full of the brassy jazz action motifs of John Barry's early Bond scores, while also blending in some of the more electronic elements David Arnold has incorporated into the more recent installments, along with a heavy use of electric guitar and percussion along with the brass.
		However, in the film itself, it does help to add to English's failures as an agent: the music is as serious as the threat to England.

	Johnny English (2003)
		Obviously not one to be fazed by a challenge, Atkinson, along with the creative team behind Johnny English, has now gone one step further along the line from converting a half-hour TV show to a feature length presentation, and decided to convert a series of 30-second commercials into a feature length presentation.
		Overlooking the fact that the aforementioned deaths were entirely his fault, English is promoted to head agent, and tasked with guarding the Crown Jewels during a party to celebrate their restoration.
		They are the original English dialogue available in both Dolby Digital 5.1 (at 384 kbps) and DTS 5.1 (half bit-rate: 768kbps), as well a Hungarian dub, presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 (at 384 kbps).

	Reviews - Johnny English
		Johnny English is an accident prone MI-7 agent who unfortunately ends up as the only man who can save Britain and its monarchy from a terrible fate.
		When, however, Johnny English (Atkinson) is put onto the case, his unrestrained enthusiasm more than make up for his lack of tact and training.
		With fast cars, high tech gadgets and a top secret mission, ‘Johnny English’ is a great spy spoof which takes it’s cue from the ‘Austin Powers’ trilogy – and then adds something that only the British can really excel at on film, ineptness.

	Johnny English (2003): Rowan Atkinson, Natalie Imbruglia, Ben Miller - PopMatters Film Review
		It's hard to imagine the filmmakers have an alternate agenda, because English and the movie that bears his name have similarly simple goals: he wants only to be James Bond, icon of British cool, and the movie wants only to parody the Bond franchise.
		There is a sequence in the middle of the film where English mixes up his truth serum and muscle relaxants, and Atkinson's sublimely silly flopping and slurring had me laughing aloud.
		For all this, the Johnny English character is rather charming, and occasionally the film rises to Atkinson's level.
