Plot

A lowly pencil pusher working for MI7, Johnny English is suddenly promoted to super spy after Agent One is assassinated and every other agent is blown up at his funeral.

Sinekatalog’s take

A bumbling spy blunders his way to the top in a rubber-faced slapstick comedy. The gags are broad and sometimes juvenile, but the lead's physical timing earns steady laughs. Silly, harmless fun for a rainy afternoon.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
