Johnny English Reborn
2011
**½
Director: Oliver Parker
Cast: Rowan Atkinson, Gillian Anderson, Dominic West, Rosamund Pike, Daniel Kaluuya, Richard Schiff
Since his massive cock-up in Mozambique (D'ohzambique!), Johnny English has been hiding and training in Tibet. Now MI7 brings him back to prevent the assassination of the Chinese premier. Johnny English was a modestly funny James Bond parody, and the sequel provides decent entertainment for 90 minutes. One moment the hero is a bumbling idiot, the next he's a bona fide action hero. Some comedy and action set pieces work, while others feel a bit laboured. Followed by Johnny English Strikes Again.
