<\/a>I’m a huge fan of the Mr. Bean television series featuring Rowan Atkinson but, up to this point, I hadn’t been very impressed with his theatrical US offerings. The Mr. Bean movies were ‘over the top’ and the first Johnny English just seem like a collection of outtakes with no fluency. Yet, after cracking up during the trailer for Johnny English Reborn<\/a>, I decided I wanted to give Mr. Atkinson another chance in his spoofed spy role. Am I glad I did!<\/p>\n In this film Johnny English establishes an entirely new identity, free of Mr. Bean-ness. I rather like this aspect because Bean as a spy is just not something that works for 1-1\/2 to 2 hours. This time around, Johnny is actually somewhat skilled and knowledgeable. After a huge slipup on his last mission, Johnny hides away in a remote location to retrain himself and forget his past. His new-found self comes in handy as he’s called back for a special assignment from MI-7.<\/p>\n The humor is subtle at times and blatant at others. My husband, my daughter, and I were laughing so much! The difference with this sequel was in the storyline. It had a solid plot you could follow and ‘mostly’\u00a0believable\u00a0characters. I love the gadgets English had and the way their usage was played out in the film. Oh, there is a recurring joke meant for the male audience. Guys, be warned: you will empathize with English in several scenes in the movie…<\/p>\n As it is a spy movie, there are some brief action\/fighting scenes yet no blood or graphic elements are present. This was very mild and seemed more innocent than even the way it was presented in Cars 2 (which really should have been rated PG instead of G, but that’s another post). I really doubt bopping someone on the head with a tin tray will bother most people. There was little to bad language. Most were dressed modestly but one actress is shown in a bikini. One kissing scene is included and, though it was not fleshed out, it was enough to make my daughter turn away and ask, “Is it done yet?”<\/p>\n Still, we all had so much fun watching Johnny English Reborn. As there were so many small jokes and details I may even be watching it again sometime soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m a huge fan of the Mr. Bean television series featuring Rowan Atkinson but, up to this point, I hadn’t been…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[156],"tags":[40],"yoast_head":"\n
