80A comic actor of genius who raises silliness to an art form, the wonderfully expressive Atkinson makes excellent use of those devastating looks in the spy spoof Johnny English, where he turns up as a James Bond type more likely to kill adversaries by accident than on purpose.
-
60Malkovich is usually such a numbingly self-serious actor. But he cuts loose here in a way that's outlandishly brilliant: It's his best performance in years.
-
60Rowan Atkinson's spy spoof is wildly uneven and yet, at times, nothing less than wildly entertaining.
-
38Plays like a tired exercise, a spy spoof with no burning desire to be that, or anything else.

Perfect for young children, but just plain stupid for anyone older.
