Review of Johnny English Reborn (2011) by Zak K — 19 Feb 2012
I am one of the select few who thought the first Jonny English was a guilty pleasure. You cannot really expect anything spectacular from Rowan Atkinson in something other than Mr. Bean. But Johnny English to me, at least, was silly, stupid, predictable, and corny.
But hey, this one was enjoyable to me at least. Now we have the sequel 8 years later and JE has not lost a beat. Though this is a tad bit darker then the first, there is more action but still plenty of comedy.
Is it better than the first? Nah, the first has a certain ditzy mood to it but on its own, it is mildly amusing. This movie may disappoint but take it for what it is and if it makes you crack a smile here and there or a chuckle, then this movie is doing its job.
It does not take itself seriously and neither should you. 3/5.
