Johnny English (2003)


Tonight, i just want to refresh my memory by watching a very funny movie played by Rowan Atkinson, Johnny English. I remember the first time watching this when i was still in my hometown, on the warm afternoon after came back from school.
This movie seems to be a spoof of the James Bond series, where Johnny English is the incompetent fool of spy. After the explosion in the graveyard which killed the entire agents of MI5, Johnny English is the only one, excited yet not-so-smart agent, who is left. Therefore, Pegasus assigned him to do the tasks of protecting the crown of Queen of  England. Along with his sidekick, Bough, he make the whole story completely funny.
Johnny always do things carelessly. Start when he's checking the incoming attendant of funeral and saying, "You're  now entering the most secure location in the whole of England." and then right after that, the bomb exploded. Ahahaha..  Then he make Pegasus secretary faint with the "special pen"; chasing the suspect while driving the car which is in the "crane-car" because he parked it in the no-parking area; ruined a funeral of a family in which he thought it was a fake but it's not; landed in the wrong building - Instead of landing in Pascal Sauvage office, he landed in the its-twin-building which is hospital; smuggling to the prison in France with Lorna Campbell - A woman whose also involved in this story, and so on.
Johnny English is always messing up the plan but always find an excuse for that. Wkwkwk,, it's just so funny watching Atkinson playing this character. Bough, English's sidekick is always there to save him, anyway. So, no need to worry. haha
The whole story is Johnny English who is trying to save his country from an attempt to overthrow the British Royal Family and take over the throne of Britain. English has already confess to his boss, Pegasus, that Sauvage is responsible for this matter, but his boss does not believe him. But, fortunately, English finds a way to arrest Sauvage, with he's eventually crowned as the King. Ahahhahah..
