Forget the blockbusters and films with huge special effects I would recommend this film to anyone.

Saw this Friday evening and my laughter muscles are still aching. Rowan Atkinson is standard Rowan Atkinson and it was hilarious in parts. You could hear the whole audience laughing and I haven't been to a film that could do that in a long time.

You knew what was going to happen in parts - you could see it coming, but the build up and execution of each scene was perfect. Anyone who said (including me) that you couldn't make a movie from a 30 second advert is so wrong.

There were parts of the movie I missed while wiping the tears from my eyes.

My chuckleometer gives this 10/10 and I would accuse anyone who doesn't find this funny of leaving their sense of humour buried in the backyard.

tut - it's in the backyard - go dig it up.

You missed loads of funny bits and one liners which cannot be repeated as they would spoil this for anyone who has yet to see it.

£6.50?? your cinema is ripping you off..

Last time I went to the cinema was for Star Wars Episode 2 - cost £4.60.

Cinema in the US is really cheap - saw Tomb Raider out there in 2001, and it was the equivalent of about £2!

Even the brand new cinema near me doesn't charge £6.50!

£3.50, that's more like it...

It was crap!

Sure there were some funny bits in it but 90% of it was absolute crap!

*highlights though*

Sushi Bar
Muscle Relaxant
Speed Camera
Coffin
Car on Trailer

It was a waste of £6.50 though...

I went to see this earlier.

Really really enjoyable, Especially Rowan Atkinson - he has this certain "quality" about him that makes him so hilareous to watch. Hes been great in series's like Mr Bean and Thin Blue Line.

Like everyone says - I seriously reccomend people go and watch this soon. Its an excellent example of a modern Slapstick comedy, and some of the gags are brilliant.

**Spoiler**

I really enjoyed the part where he was at that funeral and stamping on the coffin, then acting like a lunatic.

Brilliant, I'll definatly get this on DVD methinks.

Mr Bean was SO not crap, Tóm! Mr Bean was a classic, and such quotes as 'my flexible friend' should be celebrated. Everyone should be made to do the Mr Bean dance at least once in their life! The Mr Bean film was crap though!

I am hopefully going to see Johnny English very soon, yay!

I also saw it. Couldn't stop laughing at some points - not because of the jokes, but because of Rowan Atkinson. Was just as funny as Blackadder.

Mr Bean was crap though :op
