Critics Consensus

Arguably a marginal improvement on its mostly-forgotten predecessor, Johnny English Reborn nonetheless remains mired in broad, tired spy spoofing that wastes Rowan Atkinson's once considerable comedic talent.

Johnny English Reborn is amusing in parts and arguably better than the original, but ultimately it is a throwaway giggle for kids and indulgent parents.

Rated: 2/5

Johnny English Reborn is funny enough to make you laugh and plausible enough, in an exploding-umbrella type of way, to make you care.

An unnecessary sequel to a mostly forgettable film.

If the troubled Bond franchise needs inspiration on how to reinvent itself, it could do worse than to look to Johnny English Reborn. The secret is not to take it so seriously.

Half-assed spoofs like this just don't work and come off as rather lazy and lame.

Similar to the first one in that the plot is contrived yet predictable and the jokes range from amazing to terrible but when the jokes land they really land. The cast in this film are fantastic and elevate it far past what it truly deserves, saving boring scenes and unfunny jokes with their onscreen presence and charisma.
