Johnny English

"He knows no fear. He knows no danger. He knows nothing" - goes the tagline, one of the best and most appropriate movie taglines ever. Rowan Atkinson stars in this hilarious comedy as Johnny English, a clumsy secret agent who finds himself in the spotlight when all other agents are wiped out by an explosion. ("This is the most secure location in all England, sir." KABOOM!!) The British crown gets stolen, and the throne of England is under a threat. It is up to Johnny English to save the day. Johnny is more than willing to face the challenge. His gadgets malfunction and his gun keeps falling apart, but he will do his best.

The movie is very entertaining and relatively clean; the strongest objectionable moment is a bishop's naked butt exposed & broadcasted worldwide (don't ask). I personally did not care for potty humor - guys climbing inside sewer pipes and smelling accordingly afterwards. Yuck. However, these minor drawbacks are, in my opinion, fully outweighed by the good points.

I don't get the popularity of potty humor in some comedies either. Sometimes I have to wonder if the writer fell asleep and the script was written in part by a 7 year old...
