Review of Johnny English (2003) by Lewis P — 21 Oct 2011

"Johnny English" has no interesting characters, besides Rowan Atkinson, and the fact that I laughed maybe twice, makes this a film that truly wastes it's star powered cast. You can see the comedy coming from a mile away, the dialogue that drives the film seems to be a complete steal from "The Naked Gun" films, there is absolutely no use of mise en scene anywhere that is notable, and the fact that I thought 80 minutes was too long for this junk is very sad.

This film represents a new low in comedy even though a few scenes cracked me up. I will forget about the events in this film by the time I wake up tomorrow. "Johnny English" is one big letdown.
