After the death of all MI7’s agents in a bomb plot, the task of frustrating the attempts by a meglomaniac billionaire to become king of Britan is left to the bungling Johnny English. |
| Content |
A bit of gunfire, lots of pratfalls quite a bit of complete stupidity. |
| A View |
I did laugh a couple of times, but parodying Bond in 2003 does not quite work since it was already a parody. But in all inoffensive and the interest is really in what on earth they could think of next. Natalie Imbruglia was quite effective as the glamour component. |
