Johnny English stars Rowan Atkinson (Bean) as an accident-prone MI-7 agent on a mission to rescue Britain’s crown jewels and save the country and the monarchy from a Machiavellian French business magnate. John Malkovich (Ripley’s Game) portrays the scheming Sauvage and Ben Miller (The Parole Officer) is Johnny’s sidekick Bough. Double-platinum recording artist Natalie Imbruglia makes her feature film debut as special agent Lorna Campbell, the object of English desires.

Why let a Yank (okay, a Canuck) spoof English spy comedies with Austin Powers, when the Limeys can do it themselves? The writers of the latest Bond flick have turned their hand to spoofing themselves. Let's hope this doesn't turn into an embarrassing unfun-fest. The trailer did have me chuckling away like a right little chuckler though!

Rowan Atkinson toasts goodbye to Natalie Imbruglia's budding movie career. Only joking - let's hope the movie is too.
