Johnny English Reborn
Dir: Oliver Parker
2011
**
"Make a sequel to the 2003 film Johnny English" shouted no one ever, and yet, 8 years later Johnny English Reborn arrives. To be fair it is ever so slightly better than the first film, this is due to the fact that they've taken advantage of it being a sequel and so have built on the legend, rather than try to tell the same story twice. They've obviously spent a little bit of money on it too and have made it more Bond then Bean. The impressive supporting cast are totally wasted and it's far from Atkinson's best work but it's easy viewing and inoffensive. For the older folk maybe, although everyone likes seeing an elderly women get beaten up, don't they?
