Johnny English goes up against international assassins hunting down the Chinese premier.
Deadly dull Bond spoof.
It’s sometimes so daft you can’t help but smile, particularly if you’re seven years old and like to see people fall over a lot.
One day we'll see a film that really harnesses Atkinson's mighty talent. This isn't it.
It lasts about 90 minutes, during which time I heard not a single laugh in the whole room.
