Today I went to see Jhonny English and itts really really good I cant remember the actors name but he played Mr Bean.
And this film is dead good. Ii reckomend you see it. :D

You mean Rowan Atkinson.
I think he can be hilarious especially in Black Adder. I'm not to bothered about seeing this film but it's my friends Birthday and she really wants to see it so we are all going tomorrow!
I'll post my thoughts of it tomorrow. :)

whats jhonny english. is it only in the uk or america because it isnt here in canada

[Varda Oiolosseo]

I don't know! it's on here in the UK but i'm not sure where else.
I don't exacly know what it's about. All i know is that Rowan Atkinson plays a guy called Jonny English oh and i think Natalie Imbruglia is in it too. (sorry spelt her name wrong)

I'm going to see it in half an hour! so i will be able tell you more.

I dunno if its in Canada but, Rowan Atkinson is a really good actor he plays all his roles really well like in Rat Race where he played that man who had a problem and he kept falling asleep.

[Varda Oiolosseo]

Yay! I've seen it!
I was surprised at how funny it was! I was expecting it to be daft and silly which it was just not over the top.
:D :D

It was okay... not a great movie, but it had good bits.

From my review (http://www.ualberta.ca/~ntam/2003_07_01_archive.html#105867678099973461):
There is no doubting that the former Mr. Bean is a gentleman's Jim Carrey, a master of physical comedy, and it shows as he plays the role of a bumbling, incompetent secret agent. Atkinson is the primary draw of the film and its solitary heart and soul; true to form, he delivers fine comedy that acts as a magnet for laughter. He plays the role with a total lack of debonair suavity, and proves himself the perfect anti-Bond. His delivery of verbal humour is similarly commendable, and hearkens back to its Blackadder zenith.

Unfortunately, that is where Johnny English starts and ends. It is in effect a solo performance, or maybe not enough of one, as everything other than Atkinson's comedic moments is completely forgettable. The screenwriting team of Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, the pair who worked on the last two James Bond films, does well enough in constructing the occasional witty snippet of dialogue for Atkinson to deliver, typically relying heavily on well-executed dramatic irony; however, not as much can be said in the way of story. One does not expect a showcase of Atkinson's talents to string an evenly-paced plot together, but low expectations do not excuse the paper-thin transitions from joke to joke, which often go on far too long. Whenever Johnny English is offscreen, the movie is a thundering bore. Even John Malkovich's appearance as the uber-Frenchman Pascal Sauvage, over-the-top accent included, is a gag that gets very old very fast.

I've had a few published in The Gateway, which is the independent paper published at the University of Alberta. Aside from that, no.

I just saw the movie today, and it had it's moments. You're probably better off just buying the Mr Bean DVD set (although it would cost considerably more than the movie :P)

Unfortunately I havent seen Johnny English... yet... I really did want to, but I did see Rat Race. I loved it!! There were so many funny bits I totally couldnt stop laughing... especially Rowan Atkinson's parts... I think he is a brilliant comedian/actor!
