#10 Of course I'd review a movie...


The 2004 movie, Johnny English, is by far one of my favorites. The main character, Johnny English, is played by British comedian Rowan Atkinson. In his other work, such as Mr. Bean, he has proved to be very creative when developing his characters' personalities. He is amazing at acting out very awkward moments, which will definitely make you laugh. This movie, in my opinion, is hilarious for a family movie, especially good if you like British comedy.
Johnny English is a man in a secret service-type agency in London. After all of its agents are killed, Johnny, the accident-prone assistant steps up to the job. Many failures in his missions cause officials to not believe him when he discovers that someone is trying to take over the throne. He tries diligently to make ends meet and save his beloved home land.
There wasn't really anything I didn't like about this film. Jokes were skillfully placed throughout the script, especially to the viewers familiar with Mr. Bean. The humor is not for everyone, for example, there are a few poo jokes, but surely there is something for everyone in this movie. Although the beginning is slightly slow, I was thoroughly entertained by it in all aspects.
Compared to his non-verbal character, Mr. Bean, Rowan Atkinson was able to portray more personality and in-depth thoughts. I give this movie 4.5/5 Beans.
