Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle -
The laughs, including the big laughs, keep coming right up to the closing seconds.

Variety -
More a resuscitation than a rebirth, Johnny English Reborn finds British comedian Rowan Atkinson reviving his spoof spy character with this enjoyable if somewhat wheezy reprise.

Movieline -
Johnny English Reborn never quite ignites, even though it starts out promisingly enough.

|
Los Angeles Times -
All that matters with efforts like this is whether the cookie-cutter plotting serves up enough situations for Atkinson to contort himself into and out of jams. After all, are the narratives what you remember from the "Pink Panther" movies? Or the silly things, like that Clouseau could so easily get his finger caught in a spinning globe?

Entertainment Weekly -
Fans of sophisticated humor may feel empathy with, if not sympathy for, the lead character on those many occasions he is kicked in the nuts.
