JOHNNY ENGLISH STRIKES AGAIN – Review

Rowan Atkinson as Johnny English and Ben Miller as Bough in JOHNNY ENGLISH STRIKES AGAIN, a Focus Features release.

Let’s get straight to it: If you like Rowan Atkinson’s loopy parody of James Bond, JOHNNY ENGLISH, you’ll have fun with JOHNNY ENGLISH STRIKES AGAIN, the third in the comedian’s series. If not, or you don’t care for Rowan Atkinson’s style of physical humor, particularly his “Mr. Bean” character rather than the one in the BBC show “Black Adder,” JOHNNY ENGLISH STRIKES AGAIN won’t change your mind. There you have it.

If you are still with me now, there is a lot of fine, typically silly low-comedy fun, of the type in which Atkinson excels, in JOHNNY ENGLISH STRIKES AGAIN. This time, Atkinson not only mocks the whole James Bond super spy franchise, but the fact that the James Bond character is so dated at this point. The premise is that a cyber attack has exposed all the names of MI-7’s spies, and now the British government is forced to call back retired agents to catch the villain.

Johnny English, still has confident as ever and just as clumsy, is teaching at a private school (what Brits call a public school) when he gets the call in to interview for the assignment. The ex-spy is supposed to be teaching history but he is really training his enthusiastic charges to be the next super spies. English is actually pretty good as a teacher, and his student’s adore him. But duty calls – or at least the Prime Minister, played by Emma Thompson.

English finds himself competing with a roomful of older spies, all more accomplished than him, played by an array of older male British stars. In his signature bumbling way, English manages to narrow the field down to just him.

Jake Lacy plays a tech billionaire named Volta that the Prime Minister is trying to recruit to help with the cyber attack and to partner with her on other high tech political projects. Meanwhile, traffic lights and other essential systems keep falling to the mysterious cyber attack.

Atkinson’s former spy is rather tech-challenged, so he conveniently decides the best way to catch the culprit is to go old school and analog. That choice allows him to reject the hybrid car offered to him in favor of a classic Aston Martin, giving Atkinson a chance to have a little fun with its gas-guzzling propensity.

Basically, the Johnny English character is really an Inspector Clouseau type, with the addition of the spy’s ever-present and supremely helpful assistant Bough (Ben Miller). But Atkinson whips up a bunch of clever and funny sight gags and routines within those confines. .In English’s absence, Bough has been stuck in a tiny office and consigned to doing paperwork, so he is thrilled to get back out in the field with his old boss.

In keeping with the Bond tradition, there are beautiful locations, fast driving and posh hotels, all of which the film does not skimp on. There are lots of gadgets (to go wrong), the requisite plot twists and betrayals, an evil genius villain and of course a “Bond girl,” played by Olga Kurylenko.

JOHNNY ENGLISH STRIKES AGAIN is all light and silly fun for Rowan Atkinson fans, as it pokes affectionate fun at the long-running Bond franchise.. At a brisk 88 minutes, the comedy is just the right length for a popcorn-munching distraction, and it is packed with Atkinson’s signature visual humor. It may be a digital-dependent world, but Rowan Atkinson’s analog-world spy shows the old dog still has some tricks up his well-tailored sleeve.

RATING: 3 out of 5 stars

Production Designer Simon Bowles created the look for JOHNNY ENGLISH STRIKES AGAIN. In our recent interview with the designer on his work for the film CROOKED HOUSE, Bowles says, “It’s another opportunity to create something completely different from my other projects. The film is a comedy set in a 007 spy world but the Bond character is played by Rowan Atkinson. It’s a dream job for me as I am designing huge sets built at Pinewood Studios, creating gadgets built into expensive cars and filming in glamorous foreign locations. I find every project is connected somehow. For example Roger and Clemency’s color scheme makes a guest appearance in one set in Johnny English 3.”

JOHNNY ENGLISH REBORN – The Review

The idea of a funny, bumbling secret agent is nearly as old as the spy thriller film. Of course they’ve had their forefathers in the comedy cops and detectives that emerged in the silents ( Buster Keaton in SHERLOCK, JR. ) and the talkies ( Bob Hope in MY FAVORITE BRUNETTE, and gumshoes played by Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello, the Bowery Boys, and the Three Stooges ). In the swingin’ sixties there was the ultimate incompetent Inspector Closeau in the Pink Panther film series and on TV it was ” Car 54, Where Are You?’ and that legend of Mayberry, Deputy Barney Fife ( played to perfection by the multiple Emmy-winning Don Knotts ). There were a few secret agents during the Golden Age ( and Bob Hope, again, in MY FAVORITE SPY ), but it wasn’t till we were introduced to 007 during the cold war that the big and small screen was filled gadget-heavy trench coats. Of course there were some satirical elements in the Bond flicks, which we ramped up in his American counterparts, Derek Flint and Matt Helm. And there was an ongoing TV spy farce in the classic ” Get Smart ” ( which would inspire a feature film in 1980 with Don Addams, THE NUDE BOMB AKA THE RETURN OF MAXWELL SMART and in 2008, a movie remake, GET SMART, with Steve Carell stepping into the shoe phone ). And of course there’s Mike Meyers’s incredibly popular Austin Powers film series that started in 1997. Across the pond in England, Rowan Atkinson ( who had great success with films based on his Mr. Bean TV persona ) decided to don the black tux and became JOHNNY ENGLISH in 2003. Since that film, we’ve gotten a new movie Bond in Daniel Craig, who’s injected a lot of excitement ( and big box office) in the long-running series. And So Atkinson has decided to revisit his character in JOHNNY ENGLISH REBORN to see if there’s still some spy stuff worth parodying.

In the present day two VIPs discuss a new threat on world security. There’s only one man for the job. But where is Johnny English? He’s at a Shaolin Temple, training and meditating after a disastrous assignment in Mozambique ( English’s eye twitches at the ” M word” ). Soon he’s chopped off his long hair and goatee and is back at MI-7 headquarters ( in a truly great bit of satire a global conglomerate has taken over the agency ). English meets his new boss Pegasus ( Gillian Anderson ), his eager young agent-in-training, Tucker( Daniel Kayluuya ), a lovely body-language expert ( Rosamund Pike ), and his old spy buddy, Agent Ambrose ( Dominic West ). First stop for English and Tucker is Hong Kong where they meet up with a former CIA agent ( Richard Schiff ). Seems he’s part of an ultra-secret assassination agency named Vortex. He’s on the run because the other two Vortex heads ( and ex KGB man and a MI-7 agent ) are out to kill him for his segment of a key that will help enable them to stage a murder that will start a war. Sounds like English is up to his neck in hired killers, double crosses, and global conspiracies once again. Will he overcome his bumbling and save the day?

Well, I think we’ve got a good hunch about that. The real question is whether this is a funnier outing than the rather tepid original. There’s no big surprises in the plot, so we’re looking at a loosely connected series of sight gag sequences ( much like his Mr. Bean flicks ). Like the Bean films this hopes to be a family friendly comedy ( it’s rated PG ), so I was taken aback by the many crotch striking gags ( in the Shaolin temple we cut from one to another ) and a flashback hot tub scene with a busty double agent in a teeny bikini. In a nod to the last Craig Bond epic we get a pursuit through buildings under construction ( Atkinson doe not attempt the acrobatic leaps ). Most of the sequences tend to go on for too long without a big pay-off. There’s the mistaken assassin bit that’s repeated several times. English tours the weapons division and, shockingly, causes all manner of destruction. In a nod to GOLDFINGER, English tees off against a baddy at a golf course ( Johnny can’t golf! ) which leads into a tiresome helicopter chase ( a chase scene with English in a super souped-up wheelchair is monotonous too ).The supporting players are not given much to do besides stare incredulously at Atkinson’s antics. Kaluuya brings a bit of youthful enthusiasm to his scenes, but never really gets the chance to shine. Pike, as in BARNEY’S VERSION, plays another gorgeous, smart woman inexplicably drawn to a schlub. West can only flash his handsome, big grin and try an encourage his old pal. The casting of Anderson is curious. Perhaps this is a nod to Judy Dench’s M in the last few Bond films. It’s difficult to accept the still gorgeous ex-X-filer in a role that’s usually played by an older, more paternal actress ( or actor ). The film would’ve een greatly benefitted with an edit that would get it closer to 90 minutes ( the kids are gonna’ squirm ). Atkinson is a terrific physical comedians who harkens back to the great silent icons ( with a bit of Tati ), but he can’t give life to this attempt at spy satire. I hope he’ll retire English and dust off his TV classic ” Blackadder ” for the big screen. He can show off his wonderful verbal skill along with his pratfalls. I hope he’ll not tone him down ( please no PG fluff ). Now, that would truly be worth a trip to the multiplex!

Overall Rating: One and a Half Out of Five Stars
