Johnny English spoof roars as Mr Bean parodies Bond
New York AP review calls Johnny English a silly, relentlessly manic spy spoof. Rowan Atkinson stars as Johnny English, a bungling 007 wannabe whose overthetop stumbles aim for comedy, delivering both moments of hilarity and drag in 87 minutes. John Malkovich lauds Atkinson as a hyperkinetic anti Bond.
