This weekend, I went to see:
Johnny English Strikes Again
Plot:
Rowan Atkinson (of Mr Bean/Blackadder and various other things) is a James Bond-esque spy, but who is also really dumb and accident prone. That's pretty much about it.
Thoughts:
Well, this is the 3rd one of these, and generally speaking they're all "fine". Like they are not terrible movies, and if anything, they are aimed at being a family movie that everybody can enjoy. I did honestly laugh once or twice, but a good 90% of the gags are very much aimed at children, so while you see something and understand it's intent at being funny, it's not as funny as something a bit more subtle. For example, most gags are "And then he fell over" which are not really for the grown ups. That being said, my daughter (who is 8) really enjoyed it and is a fan of the other movies, [which i've also been subjected too seen], and this was better than the second one.
All in all, a bit of fun. Maybe more of a "Sunday afternoon on TV" kind of movie, rather than something to rush out and see in the cinema
