Anglia végső reménye Johnny English, az utolsó, még életben lévő brit kém. Ő az egyetlen, akinek esélye lehet megvédeni hazáját, megbosszulni a Titkosszolgálat kiirtását, és leleplezni a szörnyeteget, aki rá akarja tenni a kezét az egykoron hatalmas birodalom örök jelképeire, a Koronaékszerekre. Johnny English nem tudja, mi a félelem. Nem tudja, mi a veszély. Nem tud semmit. A kétbalkezes- és lábas titkos ügynök mégis nyomra bukkan. Az elsőszámú gyanúsítottja Pascal Sauvage, a titokzatos francia vállalkozó, és a vonzó Lorna Campbell. (UIP-Duna Film)

Elegánsan elkészített film, de kevésbé nevettet, mint ahogyan azt várnánk. Natalie Imbruglia nem tud játszani a szemével, John Malkovich itt pedig "szörnyű"! :-) Rowan Atkinson jó, az elegáns öltöny meglepően jól áll neki. Drámai szerepben akarom látni! ()
An enjoyable parody of Bond films in a purely British style. But with almost no humour. It doesn't impress, it entertains, the film embarrasses itself a few times, and it thrills in about three moments. Ideal harmless average, perfect for TV. ()
This film had such poor reviews at its premiere and such a lukewarm reception from film fans that I avoided it by a wide margin and only watched it years later on television. Maybe because I expected nothing, I was pleasantly surprised. The result, admittedly, is not dazzling, and there are certainly much better films in the genre, but it’s enough for a 60% overall impression. I actually suffered at times with the film version of Mr. Bean, and Johnny English is at least a class better. Although the film suffers from inconsistency, the dull moments are interspersed with genuinely funny ones, and most importantly, Rowan Atkinson can do more than just Bean-like grimaces; his acting range is much broader.

“He knows no fear. He knows no danger. He knows nothing” The film pokes fun at English agents in a rather humorous way, and Rowan Atkinson gives the British Secret Service a whole new dimension. It was funny to watch the merry-go-round of English's blunders that start at the beginning of the film and don’t stop during the end credits. There was a deaf spot here and there – and yes, Atkinson is more suited to short gags like in Mr. Bean – but I still enjoy watching the escapades of Britain's most inept agent from time to time. ()
I thought, or rather remembered the film as being quite funny. In the English version, I found that the only thing that's really funny here is Malkovich's English with a crazy French accent. Johnny English's character is so interchangeable that it's not even nice, and the film can be very disappointing in terms of comedy. ()
