Johnny English Reborn - So Bean!

(2011) ★★☆☆☆

I checked out ‘Johnny English (2003)’ on account of its trailer that’s so much funnier than the movie itself. It didn’t make me laugh till the last scene when Johnny starts to sing and dance to one of ABBA’s hits. It’s in general a turnoff. Years have passed. Now Johnny’s reborn, but the way he behaves still seems so Bean. Nothing’s of a surprise. Everything’s expected. And some said Mr. Rowan Atkinson would better fit in a silent film. I agree. As a comedy, this film’s such a failure. I however, appreciate Mr. Atkinson’s courage and profession all these years trying to entertain us by sticking to what once made him so well known. That’s, I guess, a gift as well as a curse!
