Sheila Norman-Culp Associated Press The movie is silly, silly, silly -- and proud of it. There's a good chance you will be giggling helplessly at some point in Johnny English, and 7- to 14-year-olds will be giddy throughout. Jan 18, 2018 Full Review Nell Minow Beliefnet The spy parts aren't exciting enough and the funny parts aren't funny enough. Rated: C Oct 20, 2011 Full Review Scott Von Doviak Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Inept and painfully unfunny. Aug 7, 2003 Full Review James Croot Stuff.co.nz Johnny English comes up criminally short on laughs, using up its best moments in the trailer. Rated: 2.5/5 Apr 26, 2023 Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) Right down there with the worst of Peter Sellers' Pink Panther quickies. Rated: 1.5/5 Nov 17, 2020 Full Review Joel Siegel Good Morning America Johnny English is more I Spy than the genuine genius of Austin Powers. It ain't great, but it's funny because he's funny.
