underrated

After the mediocre ratings it received in the States when it came out, I was in no hurry to see Johnny English. But recently I had the good fortune is watch it start to finish and I have to say it is a good and funny film. It's not laugh-until-sides-hurt funny, but it's clever/funny in a sublime way. That's probably because Rowan Atkinson is such a fine actor, able to play a straight-man buffoon so realistically. Anyway, I read somewhere on IMDB that there's supposed to be a sequel. I hope so.

Just rewatched it and I also love it.

I finally got the sequel, which I should be able to check out in the next day or two.

I loved the second Johnny English film as much as the first, so I guess we have different tastes.

It's a genius sort of comedy with a genius actor leading. Very under rated

Very clever film, in 400 years they will study and teach films like they do Shakespeare. When we all get superchips in our heads and life is very different from today

Underrated indeed. This is one of my all time favourite comedies and comedies usually aren't my type of movies.
