Reviews Featuring Rowan Atkinson

Johnny English
Unoriginal, non-sensical and not particularly funny.

Rat Race
One long, drawn-out and not even accidentally funny mess.

The Lion King
Regardless of Disney’s reasons for choosing to release this now, it’s a fantastic example of just how good the pre-Pixar generation toons could be. A real “mane” attraction (arf!).

Love Actually
Plenty of people will love this film (you know who you are), but personally I couldn’t wait to escape the theatre by the time the full 135 minutes had been wrung dry.

Hot Shots! Part Deux
Contains roughly deux funny bits.

Maybe Baby
Maybe not.

Four Weddings and a Funeral
Hugh Grant earned his status as the bungling toff’s bungling toff with his now-familiar display in this likable, quintessentially English, rom-com.
