Advantages: Atmosphere. Well produced - Escapist Disadvantages: Story line too unrealistic for me
...build up the tension, something absolutely stupid happened?.
A father (William Hert) sends his blind daughter (Bryce Dallas Howard) through the dangerous forest (home of the monster/s), to the (bad) towns beyond, to get medical help for her boyfriend (Joaquin Phoenix) who had been injured by a village youth (Adrian Brody) who was (to be politically correct), rather intellectually challenged.

...Johnny English (Rowan Atkinson-Mr Bean) the last british spy. He has to investigate the robbery of the crown jewels. He suspects the highly prostageous Pascal Suvage (John Malkovich).
In the end Johnny has to save britain from humiliation. Gadgets, Jokes and funny screen play. and the catchy theme tune will have you humming it all day.
This comedy DVD is a great story with great screenplay. And the amazingly funny Rowan Atkinson plays the lead role and steals your laughter.
This movie as a great family film with
language: mild; infrequent
Sex/Nudity: None
Violence: Infrequent, mild, slapstick
Other: None
I got this on DVD and it is full of great extras. Even if you have seen it before these added bonuses on this DVD are great. Full of hilarious out takes and cut secenes.
It also has a great spy challenge, downloads...
