Johnny English a delightful surprise

"I have seen Bean: The Movie in theaters years ago and wanted to get a copy for my kids who have discovered Rowan Atkinson--with my help of course. Since this set included a second feature I had yet to see, I decided "Why not?" because Rowan has never let me down before. I found Johnny English to be a better satire about spies/police than the Steve Martin Pink Panther movie, which I still like. So fun to watch Rowan in a "cool guy" mode, even with the devastating mistakes the character makes."
If you love Bean, you'll love these

"Classic "Bean" for those who love British humour, as I do. For those not familiar with Rowan Atkinson, his work has been compared to "Charlie Chaplain," though not quite as "slap stick." There is a great deal of cleverness in his humour as well. "Bean" reminds me of an overgrown 9-year-old boy doing his best not to be seen or get into trouble when in very embarassing situations. In "Johnny English", he spoofs James Bond. It is mostly very innocent humour that I can share with my young children."
