Jalea my colleague went with me and thank goodness I wasn't late despite the ridiculous 45-minute long ride from Tampines to Dhoby Ghaut. Sounds reason but look at the MRT map and do your math, you would realise ridiculous is probably the best word to describe my painful experience. Apologies to my expat friends but this is the moment when I have to blame the government for bringing in too many expats and foreign labourers.
This instalment of Johnny English is surprisingly refreshing. It is definitely not slapstick humour and in contrast, Johnny English is portrayed as a really suave and cool agent this time....well..not entirely..still has his moments of stupidity but I guess that's what makes Johnny English Johnny English.
Let's throw the comical face and frail, fair, frosty-the-stickman body aside, Johnny English is still not anyone's idea of a super-agent. His previous displaced arrogance, seemingly lacking maturity and constant trance of being clueless are well...quite replaced by a reborn him who has a ton-load of luck and surpisingly good composure toall kinds of situation. Perhaps the training in an isolated 'asian region' did help him to acheive inner peace after all!
There are twists in the plot but pretty much predictable but hey, it is Rowan Atkinson...any predictable twist can be easily converted into additional humour to the film!
The whole film was full of surprises and OH-NOs, leaving no moment of boredom at all...and I, having being known to be no fan of slapstick humour, actually recommend my friends to catch this to let their hair down.
So what are you waiting for? Go catch it now :)
