Johnny English Reborn Reviews

An unnecessary sequel to a mostly forgettable film.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 13, 2020

If the troubled Bond franchise needs inspiration on how to reinvent itself, it could do worse than to look to Johnny English Reborn. The secret is not to take it so seriously.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 1, 2018

Johnny English Reborn is amusing in parts and arguably better than the original, but ultimately it is a throwaway giggle for kids and indulgent parents.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 24, 2018

Half-assed spoofs like this just don't work and come off as rather lazy and lame.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 28, 2017

It's banal to the point that kids at the film's New York press screening were apparently bored out of their minds.

| Oct 7, 2015

A fun, family-friendly comedy that feels like a combination of Austin Powers and Ernest P. Worrell.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 30, 2013

This is not the highest level of comedy, or even the highest level of effort from everyone involved, but at least they get out of the way and let the man work.

| Original Score: B- | Jun 22, 2013

What the film really needed was an injection of comedy that plays to Atkinson's strengths. He's a funny guy, but this material just isn't worthy of him.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 19, 2012

Austin Powers, this is not, and I suppose that's what most people would have been expecting when they saw it.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 19, 2012

| Original Score: C | Feb 18, 2012

It's really the directing in this film that really fouls it all up.

| Jan 4, 2012

With a nod to Mr. Bean, Johnny English Reborn delivers comedy in any language.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 4, 2011

If you like Rowan Atkinson you will like the movie; if you don't then you won't. I am in the anti-Atkinson camp.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Oct 25, 2011

It does contain almost enough laughs to make it worth the ticket price. Falling a tad short, I would suggest adding it to the Netflix queue instead.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 22, 2011

The under-12s in the theater seemed to enjoy it immensely.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 22, 2011

He's priceless, no matter how many Mr. Bean episodes he's made.

| Oct 22, 2011

To be fair, it's a shade better than the dreary movie that preceded it.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 21, 2011

Johnny English Reborn is funny enough to make you laugh and plausible enough, in an exploding-umbrella type of way, to make you care.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 21, 2011

Other than being family-friendly, Johnny English Reborn has only a handful of chuckles to recommend it.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 21, 2011

Reborn is more of a spiritual title. Everything else in this silly but draggy comedy is pure rehash.

| Original Score: C+ | Oct 21, 2011
