#21: Johnny English (2003) March 3, 2007

2003 | Peter Howitt | 84 mins | DVD | PG / PG

Almost the flip-side of Hot Fuzz’s coin. Johnny English doesn’t quite manage the action sequence thing (though the car chase is quite good), and the humour is a lot gentler. Every joke is sign-posted at least a good few seconds in advance, sometimes several minutes, yet that’s half the fun — you know what’s about to go wrong and that nothing can stop English doing it anyway. Not brilliant, then, but an entertaining enough bit of nothing.
