Johnny English (Rowan Atkinson), a British MI7 spy, is cooling his heels in the mountains of Tibet, receiving spiritual and physical training from Buddhist monks, when he is summoned by Pamela (Gillian Anderson), the head of MI7. Pamela wants Johnny English to go on an investigative mission to Hong Kong. Accompanying English on the mission is Agent Tucker (Daniel Kaluuya), who promises that things happen as per MI7 protocol, especially because Johnny English is an unorthodox spy.
In Hong Kong, English uncovers a plot by a group of international assassins (one spy each from KGB, CIA and MI7) which is planning to eliminate the Chinese prime minister at an upcoming summit with the British premier. The key to stopping the conspiracy is to find the three parts of a key to a lock, which is the gateway to a secret weapon that the assassins possess. English and Tucker must employ the latest hi-tech gadgets at their disposal in order to foil the conspiracy. Is the simpleton, English, able to foil the conspiracy? What hurdles does he have to surmount to do so? The rest of the film answers these questions.
First things first – fans of Rowan Atkinson (whether of his iconic Mr. Bean or the previous Johnny English film) will enjoy this movie more than the others because William Davies’ story relies mainly on the character of the bumbling but adorable spy, Johnny English, to create mirth. Otherwise, Hamish McColl’s screenplay leaves much to be desired. The plot takes too much time to come to the point, because of which a majority of the audience will start losing interest. Besides cheap five fingers , a few sequences in the film (like the fight scene in Hong Kong) are too lengthy and boring, in spite of a spirited performance by Rowan Atkinson.
The narrative gains momentum at around half-time, when Johnny English meets the British prime minister (the scene where Johnny English lowers and raises his chair in quick succession will have the audience in splits). The jokes on James Bond (right from the spoofy title sequence) are entertaining. The dialogues are witty and enjoyable at many places.However, the climax of the film is rather poorly-written except, perhaps, for the surprise ending. The long-drawn action sequence in the end is also boring. All in all, the script is of the kind that will appeal only to fans of Rowan Atkinson and to those who like watching spoofy comedy films.
There’s even a Batman-inspired ‘reboot origin story’, since Hollywood clearly thinks Tibet is the best place in the world to train a superhero. English, who is shown mastering several useful techniques such as having an indestructible crotch, is recalled from the mountains by British intelligence agency MI-7 after years of self-exile following a botched operation in Mozambique.

The agency head, nicknamed Pegasus, is played by Anderson, who turns in one of the more insipid performances of her career. There is more eye-candy for men in the form of former Bond girl Pike, who plays psychologist Kate Summer, and for that we are grateful since the plot, involving a secret group of assassins named ‘Vortex’ and a conspiracy to murder the Chinese premier, is absolute rubbish.However, we’re happy to report that despite their best efforts, Atkinson manages to save the day in parts. The 56-year-old comic genius may be greying, but his manic physicality and rubber-faced expressions are still very much intact.

In this unfortunate mess of a movie, he finds himself mouthing absurd dialogue when he isn’t getting kicked in the crotch, or messing things up, or… well, you get the picture. But despite the silliness and the slapstick, there are a few times you can’t help but laugh out loud — and it’s all because of him.Whether those precious few moments are worth the price of a ticket is debatable, particularly if you were expecting something genuinely funny.
