       Suave Agent One is dead and all remaining British agents are killed in an explosion at the funeral. All but one.

       Johnny English.

       Mr Beans meets James Bond.

       Predictably, this is very silly. But then most of the early James Bonds films were very silly. If you like Mr Bean and spoofs of 007, you’ll enjoy this.

       It is rather funny. Malkovich is a bonus.
