Johnny English comes up criminally short on laughs, using up its best moments in the trailer.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 26, 2023

Right down there with the worst of Peter Sellers' Pink Panther quickies.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Nov 17, 2020

The movie is silly, silly, silly -- and proud of it. There's a good chance you will be giggling helplessly at some point in Johnny English, and 7- to 14-year-olds will be giddy throughout.

Johnny English is more I Spy than the genuine genius of Austin Powers. It ain't great, but it's funny because he's funny.

| Original Score: C+ | Jan 3, 2018

The spy parts aren't exciting enough and the funny parts aren't funny enough.

| Original Score: C | Oct 20, 2011

Contrived, bland, and unfunny with an awful lead character...

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 5, 2005

While it lives up to the very definition of 'hit and miss', the parts that hit are very funny.

| Original Score: B- | Jun 20, 2005

You won't die laughing in the theater, but the filmmakers aren't asking you to, as they do in the frantic, adolescent comedies that dominate the market. It's a pleasure.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 7, 2004

| Original Score: 69/100 | Mar 16, 2004

Another feeble 007 parody.

| Original Score: D | Mar 9, 2004

Straight from Tony Blair, English's next assignment is a suicide mission: to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

| Feb 9, 2004

Belongs on an old-time double bill, where it would satisfy, if only because we'd be into the second movie before we noticed that the first came up a bit short on laughs.

Full Review | Original Score: 71/100 | Feb 7, 2004

Excruciatingly predictable

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 3, 2004

In spite of some wince-inducing bathroom humor, and jokes you can see coming from a mile away, this turns out be a very funny romp indeed.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 2, 2004

Johnny English doesn't work as a spoof of the spy genre, and moreover, as you watch Atkinson at work, you begin to notice how easy this is for him -- too easy, in fact.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 13, 2003

Dies on screen.
