Johnny English Re-Born



Rowan Atkinson is back as the inept "James Bond" style secret agent in this comedy sequel.

Mr Atkinson was reported to be  unhappy with the responses his first " Johnny English" film got back in 2003 and seems to have gone out of his way to make the sequel bigger, better and funnier.

This time Johnny English is brought back out of retirement ( well he was actually sacked for screwing up an assignment) to track down and stop some international killers carrying out their mission to assassinate the Chinese Premier.
Rowan Atkinson is in prime form doing what he does best - making us laugh.
The film has lots of the " Bond " chases, fights and girls mixed in with lots and lots of silly stuff going on to keep you giggling throughout.
Yes, I know there's been lots of "Bond" farce films but this time Rowan Atkinson and team have got it right and come up with the goods.
Oh and don't leave the film too soon as you'll miss out on the end of credits sequence.

Looking forward to the next sequel, hopefully in less than 8 years this time.

The Change Up



I went into this film thinking it was going to be the same old rehashed switching bodies storyline that has been done time and time again, most notably in Disney's Freaky Friday and the 1988 film Vice Versa.

And it was......Except one thing.
This one was sooo funny.

I’ve seen both the Disney's Freaky Friday and the Vice Versa films and yes they were ok but had lashings of sentimentability in them.

The Change Up also has a little bit of the sentimentability in it too but with a lot more comedy.
So if you’re planning on giving it a miss because you think you’ve seen it all before – Don’t.
Go see it and, like me, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how much better and funnier this one is.

The Inbetweeners ( Film )



If you liked the tv series you are going to just love the film.
It’s sad in one way because you know this film has been made to end the series, but what an ending.
This film is soooooo funny and had the whole cinema laughing all the way through.
We follow the four friends, Will, Neil, Simon & Jay as they go on a “lads” holiday after finishing school before they go their separate ways.
Cue lots of awkward moments around girls, toilet humour, nudity and lots of comedy sexual innuendo popular throughout the tv series.

The four young actors were extremely comfortable in their roles and their acting was as superb as ever and it was just like watching an extended episode.

Respect to “The Inbetweeners”

Zookeeper ( Film )




Griffin is a Zoo keeper who really cares for his animals and won't see anyone do them any harm.
The animals love him too and so decide to break their code of silence when they find out he plans to leave the zoo.
Talking animals, madcap stunts and a bit of comedy romance all mixed together for the family summer film.
Just remember to leave your brain at the door before you go in.

Apart from some of the voices of the animals being a little annoying this is an enjoyable film that got quite a few laughs from everyone in the cinema.
Even the song and the clips at the very end ( during the credits) are entertaining.

Go on .............. you know you want to......

Mr Poppers Penguins



Jim Carey stars as Mr Popper who receives a mysterious package from his recently deceased father ( who he had a very limited relationship with as a child.)
Upon opening the crate he finds his first Penguin.
Soon he has 6 penguins and his near perfect life as a high powered sales person is soon turned upside down.

The film is loosely based on the 1938 children's book of the same name by Richard & Florence Atwater.

Although this film is blatantly aimed towards young children I still found it very funny all the way through.
Lots of falling down and toilet humour throughout and Jim Carey does what he does best even though he is out done by the penguins.

The children's film industry nearly always has an underlying message and this one pushes the family values message quite clearly but despite this still ends up being quite a good movie.

Go see it with the kids if you just want to lay back and have a laugh.
