Johnny English

Dear Diary,

Don't know why but Zarra loves Mr. Bean so much

Our last activity on Malaysia Day 2011 before heading home was watching a movie. This impromptu event happened when Imran and Zarra saw Johnny English’s movie poster and screamed with joy, “Mr. Bean! Mr. Bean!” Looking how happy they were, Hubby caved in and bought tickets for midnight show. How crazy that was!

Johnny English Reborn is directed by Oliver Parker and lined up by Rowan Atkinson (Johnny English), Gillian Anderson (Pamela Thornton a.k.a Pegasus), Dominic West (Simon Ambrose) and Daniel Kaluuya (Agent Tucker).

The film’s synopsis taken from its website:

Rowan Atkinson returns to the role of the improbable secret agent who doesn’t know fear or danger in the comedy spy-thriller Johnny English Reborn. In his latest adventure, the most unlikely intelligence officer in Her Majesty’s Secret Service must stop a group of international assassins before they eliminate a world leader and cause global chaos.

In the years sinceMI-7’s top spy vanished off the grid, he has been honing his unique skills in a remote region of Asia. But when his agency superiors learn of an attempt against the Chinese premier’s life, they must hunt down the highly unorthodox agent. Now that the world needs him once again, Johnny English is back in action.

With one shot at redemption, he must employ the latest in hi-tech gadgets to unravel a web of conspiracy that runs throughout the KGB, CIA and even MI-7. With mere days until a heads of state conference, one man must use every trick in his playbook to protect us all. For Johnny English, disaster may be an option, but failure never is.

What can I say about Johnny English? Well, English is English. Rowan shines in his portrayal as a “dumb” secret agent. Though Johnny’s intentions are always good but he would end up messing things up. This is when hilarious moments are invented. However, luck is always on his side because no matter how messed up things are, everything will turn out alright finally.
