Story:
Days before the British Prime Minister’s debut at the G12 summit, the country is hit by a major cyber attack. With all its agents’ identities exposed, their only hope is the former secret service spy Johnny English (Rowan Atkinson). Will his old-school ways and silly goofs save the day for Britain?
Verdict:
“Bring back an old one,” thunders an exasperated British PM (Emma Thompson) as the impending doom of a rogue cyber hack dawns upon her. And soon the (mis)adventure begins. Director David Kerr wastes no time in letting loose the bumbling British spy Johnny English on a mission to save the country. He is now an English teacher, ditching regular school syllabus for discreetly teaching spy-like stunts to his students.
The sharp edge of its humor gets somewhat blunted due to a highly predictable narrative and a few dull moments along the way. The constant tussle between making this an all-out spy spoof yet serious enough to actually save the world creates an unwanted conflict. While many laughs underline the franchise’s trademark shenanigans, it does leave you wanting more.
