It’s traditional now to look for Brexit significances in any new film with a British slant and that does seem applicable to this revival of the Johnny English action-comedy spoof franchise – which started back in 2003 with Johnny English and spluttered back to life in 2011 with Johnny English Reborn. Will tongue-in-cheek self-satire on the subject of how obviously rubbish we are be the nation’s new export opportunity?

At any rate, the pop-eyed, rubber-faced incompetent Johnny English has had his licence to cock things up renewed for the second time – that name of his signalling more than anything else that he is a broad comic creation designed for non-English-speaking cinemagoing territories.
