Johnny English - Fully Loaded Edition

Absolutely brilliant film, one of the funniest I've ever seen. An absolute classic that I can watch over and over again, and Rowan Atkinson is superb

We bought the video because my son was bored one day.... and we did right. Atkinson continues to have a 'voice' in the script, I think ?? and if he does not then we have found a versatile writer who writes for this actor with ease.If ever you want to laugh at Bond - and haven't found all the ways in which it is a parody of itself, then watch this film. It is hard not to laugh out loud. Everyone comes in for it, the secret service, women's prediliction for reading competence into a situation when her paramour is a what the americans call a 'clutz', the queen, the villain type, and the French of course get it in the neck....Simplicity is the key. And maybe a certain style which Rowan Atkinson alone can bring to the inadequate Englishman image. Are you getting the idea I might admire this Atkinson ? Yep - right on that one.Enjoy with the friends (you used to be young with) when you first noticed these things. . . as I did. Good for young and old. No uncomfortable moments - only one bottom.No need for a glass of wine - just a glass of lemon barley will do. It will all be happening on that screen.

I came upon this film purely by chance after scanning through the TV channels one day. Finding nothing else that interested me, I elected to watch it: though a little sceptical of past spy spoofs that for me had not reached the mark. This film, I feel, has been grossly underrated. After watching it, I concede to having never laughed out aloud so much since the iconic Pink Panther series. The precarious situations the hapless Johnny English (Rowan Atkinson) finds himself in, though generally predictable, come to life with Atkinson's inimitable, humorous portrayal of the MI7 agent’s bungling antics, as he blunders on in search of the French villain Pascal Sauvage (John Malkovich). Stealing the crown jewels, Sauvage's plan is to be crowned king of England, but his covert intention however, is more devious, seeking to turn England into a single, state penitentiary. As touched upon earlier, there have been other spy spoofs, but in Atkinson’s performance, he applies his unique sense of humour where I find myself spontaneously giggling out aloud? continuously reminiscing scenes from the film. Bof, (Bough, Ben Miller) is priceless in his support role, and works well with Atkinson. While extracting his superior from countless embarrassing situations, I defy anyone to maintain a straight face during the amusing repartee they generate between them. The Queen’s abdication from the throne of England is finally achieved by one of Sauvage’s henchman. In a scene where the Queen, under duress, is asked to sign away the throne she nobly declines, only to be forced into submission by a threat placed upon one of her corgis held at gunpoint. Finally, after many exploits, we anticipate a steamy clinch between the heroin (Natalie Imbruglia) and the triumphant Johnny English in his Aston Martin. The camera focuses on the control panel, and in particular, the eject button. His lips puckered, English, with elevated passion, leans across towards his lady and hits the eject button and elevates the lady through the car-roof instead. Though a predictable finale, the entire film had me mesmerised throughout, and prompted me to order the complete series. Subsequently reading critical reviews on the film’s release reveals to me how such opinions can be misleading. I adhere to a personal criteria where I am the reviewer, and what does not appeal to me is the deciding factor. Without any reservations, I can recommend the Johnny English spy spoofs where the cast, headed by Rowan Atkinson, give it all they have got, and continue to maintain me in stitches every time I watch them...CJB

My favourite comedian anyway and very entertaining. Agent one is killed because 'the submarine door would not open' and Johnny English is brought in to shadow a would-be pretender to the throne of England after the Queen is forced to resign or lose her corgi. Pascal Savauge (John Malkovich) is a soppy Frenchman (the pretender) and English has to keep tabs on him even as he builds a replacement Archbishop of Canterbury to crown him King of England.English is joined by Ben Miller as Bough and the slightly miscast Natalie Imbruglio (is that right) as a motor-riding accomplice.The very best scene is at the end where these two come together in his car and are just about to kiss and then.......Atkinson plays it with his usual smooth clumsiness and drags Bough along with him even when Bough is right. To me this is his best character as he actually gets to deliver dialogue rather than his squeaks and gurns as Mr Bean I also have his Reborn movie which is just as good and very funny.

This review refers to the Blu-ray release I rented from Lovefilm By Post. I may sound like a purist but I am attached to the DVD release which was one of the first DVDs I bought. The menu in the Blu-ray is different and the only special features are "The Making of Johnny English" and the "Deleted Scenes". The DVD release also had "Character profiles", DVD ROM features for the PC and an "Observation Test" required to access the "Deleted Scenes". On the Blu-ray there is a cut in the deleted scene when Sauvage assassinated the Colonel with a lift disposal unit in which the flames and the Colonel screaming is removed but it is still implied he was burned. However it is still good to see the film in high definition and I see that the text onscreen is the original from the VHS and possibly the theatrical release unlike the subtitles on the original DVD. I would recommend streaming the film on Amazon Video if your broadband is fast enough and get the original DVD for special features.

I can't really fault it, it's a great movie. I'm a huge Rowan Atkinson fan and this was great, I've seen it before but i wanted to own it. It's really funny, definitely a lot of laugh out loud moments in there. Good for anyone really, I've watched it with different family members or friends and they all like it, good for any audience.

i enjoyed this film a lot when it came out years ago and ended up getting on DVD, but my copy was faulty and kept skipping some scenes and i never got around to replace it, so i was lucky enough to find this blu-ray at a great price and it's fantastic, the picture quality is way better than the DVD and the sound is fantastic, plus the British thick boxes look way nicer than the American editions, so i loved this one, and it coms with a lot of languages including Latin American Spanish audio tracks and subtitles!

Parents may like to know the streaming service Prime recommended this as suitable for ages 7+ but the film contains words that are highly inappropriate (I couldn’t asterix them here because Amazon said my review wasn’t allowed).Well acted by Rowan Atkinson and some laughs but the last 30 minutes felt out of sync with the rest of the film.Personally, I would like to see Amazon Prime raise the 7+ recommendation.

１４歳の息子が誕生日プレゼントに・・・とのリクエストで購入しました。ズッコケたジョニーは軽く笑えて、一押しのMOVIEです。子供から大人まで、みんなで居間で笑って見れる一本、オススメです。

Es la primera película de la trilogía, cuenta con un buen precio y totalmente recomendable para todos los fans de Robert Atkinson. Es increíble como ha conseguido con este personaje cómico inspirado en 007 trascender más allá de su otro iconico personaje Mr Bean. La película es apta para todos los públicos.

Item was promply shipped and arrived in a few days by free shipping. Was well packaged and arrived in good shape. The movie is good if you like a sympathetic spy movie parody. Information on the product was sufficient to ensure a satisfactory purchase.Bought this DVD to replace a VHS that got munched by the machine. Enjoyable and funny, if you like Rowan Atkinson genre. Malkovitch also gives an good performance, as well as other actors on the set, many of them you will encounter in other good movies and TV series.

Descriptions du produitDescription du produitDans un monde angoissé, déboussolé, peu d'institutions sont aussi fiables que les services secrets britanniques. Leurs supers agents, leurs réseaux internationaux, leur matériel et leur panoplie high-tech en font l'ultime bastion de l'Honneur, du Devoir et de la Vérité. Informés d'un odieux complot contre les Joyaux de la Couronne, les services secrets mettent sur le coup la crème de la crème des espions de Sa Majesté - leur agent n°1. Mais ce dernier se fait tuer et est promptement rejoint dans l'autre monde par l'élite du Renseignement... La sécurité du pays, l'espoir de venger le contre-espionnage, la protection des Joyaux de la Couronne, symbole immémorial de la grandeur de l'Empire, reposent désormais sur les épaules d'un seul homme : Johnny English. Il ne craint rien et ne comprend rien. Ce n'est pas le meilleur des agents... C'est le seul.Amazon.frOubliez James Bond. La nouvelle star du film d'espionnage moderne se nomme Johnny English. Et il est plutôt agent 000 que 007. Pas de chance : lorsque l'agent numéro 1 se fait tuer, les services secrets de sa majesté n'ont plus le choix. Ils doivent donner sa chance à Johnny English, espion qui ne comprend rien à rien, pour découvrir qui veut s'emparer des joyaux de la couronne. Le film de Peter Howitt est un véritable festival Rowan Atkinson, inoubliable Mr. Bean. À l'aide de mimiques inimitables et d'une grande dose de maladresse, il provoque le rire dans chaque scène où il apparaît. Il est très drôle de comparer l'intrigue à celle des James Bond interprétés par Sean Connery. Le canevas reste le même, seul le traitement, ici totalement délirant, change. Johnny English réussit même à charmer la magnifique Natalie Imbruglia qui incarne la "James Bond girl" du film. Dans le rôle du méchant, John Malkovitch prend un malin plaisir à jouer un français et en fait des tonnes. Peter Howitt réussit même à nous offrir quelques scènes anthologiques, telles que celle où le ridicule héros endort une secrétaire à l'aide d'un stylo ou lorsqu'il agit sous l'effet d'une drogue. Un film qu'il faut voir pour y croire. --Marc Maesen

My husband and I enjoyed this movie. We have always been a fan of Rowan Atkinson. He is hilarious. We like to watch any program or movie that this funny British star is in.
