Johnny English

“The movie is, at times, funny enough to make you cry, and, when it's not, it moves nicely as a parody.”

Collin Levey, Wall Street Journal · 80

“A comic actor of genius who raises silliness to an art form, the wonderfully expressive Atkinson makes excellent use of those devastating looks in the spy spoof Johnny English, where he turns up as a James Bond type more likely to kill adversaries by accident than on purpose.”

Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times · 80

“Unlike most movies of this kind, which run out of steam and ideas as they go along, Johnny English gains momentum, nudging you along from a few stray giggles to helpless, giddy laughter.”

Dana Stevens, The New York Times · 80

“The hilarious Malkovich, coiffed in an artful pageboy and savoring a fruity French accent, would overpower the competition on sheer thespian madness.”

Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly · 75

“Delivered with the kind of English aplomb that PBS audiences around the country have come to know and love. It must be the accent.”

Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post · 70
