Johnny English has been 5 years in retirement in Tibet learning the ways of the master. He is called out of retirement for a mission to China to hunt down "Vortex" an assassination group out to kill the Chinese premier. There are 3 keys, or key parts that must be gathered together to have access to a secret weapon.
The first good joke was the "Toshiba" sponsor sign for MI-7 secret services. The humor is more than just slapstick. Rowan Atkinson combines the sophistication and intellect of James Bond with the zaniness of Peter Sellers. Indeed, for those who loved Peter Sellers would also enjoy Atkinson who doesn't attempt to copy Sellers, but rather create a character in his own style reminiscent of the master. The early scene with the cat had me laughing out loud at the classic style of Atkinson.
English is aided by agent Tucker (Daniel Kaluuya),a sidekick that has his own failings. Excellent use of the sound track. Worth seeing. Simply hilarious.
Good family movie for the older kids. Imagine a good comedy without all that crude humor (okay it has some kicks to the groin).
No f-bombs, sex, or nudity.

Slightly drier than expected
A slight improvement over the first. Not hugely funny, in fact I rarely cracked a smile, but the humour is less buffoonish and slightly drier than before which works in the film's favour. As usual it's a broad Bond spoof, but I found the Bond films spoofs in themselves to begin with, so inevitably this feels a bit rudderless. A good supporting cast, though.
