MI-7 Agent Johnny English (Rowan Atkinson) is called back into service to find out who is creating all the cyber attacks that reveal the identity of all active undercover Agents in Britain. Since he is old school, he declines all the new technology and says that way he cannot be tracked by the enemy. Good point, but truth be told he has no idea how these things work. Ha!
This has some very good chuckles via sight-gags. However, when English wears the virtual reality glasses the scenes beg more comedy than is shown and the problem is that those scenes lasted way too long. Not good. Also the scenes with English in Knight Armor were quite clumsy.
I did enjoy the scenes where he dances a blue streak brought on by some pills that hyped him up when he thought he was taking a sleeping pill. Quite good.
When he and side-kick Bough (Ben Miller) used magnetic boots to walk up the sides of the ship named Dot.Calm we see all the kitchen cutlery in the galley be attracted to the ship side where they are walking. Pretty good.
Some of the funniest scenes happen in the background when you are concentrating on English for another scene and all of a sudden you see something in the background caused unintentionally by - guess who - English. Well, you had to be there. These kinds of scenes are worth their weight in pure gold because they are very funny coming seemingly out of nowhere. See?
Notables: Olga Kurylenko as Ophelia Bhulatova a Russian Agent who surprisingly comes to the aid of English at times even though she was ordered to kill him; Emma Thompson as the Prime Minister - who is channeling Theresa May - and who is desperate to find out who is causing the cyber attacks; Jack Lacy as Jason Volta a dot.com genius who - you guessed it - is responsible for the cyber attacks;
So we have some funny scenes and some not-so-funny scenes but overall this was quite enjoyable. (7/10)
Violence: Yes. Sex: No. Nudity: No. Humor: More yes, than no. Language: No,. Rating: B
