Maybe world needs another James Bond spoof PAT PA D U A
Johnny English, the secret agent of last resort, need not mean the movie of last resort. In
Johnny English Strikes Again êê½ Cast: Rowan Atkinson, Olga Kurylenko, Miranda Hennessey, Ben Miller, Emma Thompson, Adam James, Jake Lacy Rating: PG for cartoonish violence, saucy humor and language and nudity for comic effect.
“Johnny English Strikes Again,” the charming third chapter in the surprisingly durable spy-spoof franchise about an inept secret agent, retired MI7 operative Johnny English (Rowan Atkinson), is called back into service — but only after a cyberattack exposes the identities of every other agent in the field. When we first catch up with English, he has been teaching espionage to British schoolchildren, leading his proteges in a martini toast to an imaginary femme fatale. (“You’re looking particularly beautiful tonight,” the class repeats in unison.) After the prime minister (Emma Thompson)
GILES KEYTE, FOCUS FEATURES
Rowan Atkinson, left, and Ben Miller star in “Johnny English Strikes Again.” brings English back into the fold, he immediately reverts to his signature bungling, in a hilarious episode involving an exploding fountain pen. You read that right: It’s hilarious. It’s hard to explain why the old exploding-pen gag would still be funny, in 2018. But Atkinson — utilizing the rubbery face
and bulging, expressive eyes that served him so well on the silly British sitcom “Mr. Bean” — delivers a brand of charming buffoonery that is a balm for these troubled times. The title character reunites with his sidekick from the original 2003 film: his hapless partner and straight man Bough (Ben Miller),
who tries to wrangle something approaching competence out of his blundering colleague. As the agents set off to track down the bad guy (Jake Lacy), a hacker who has targeted British infrastructure, they forswear smartphones, choosing to use purely analog — hence untraceable — devices instead. The movie takes
killed five people on the night of Oct. 31, survivor Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis, badass terrific) is now a tightly wound, heavily armed grandma convinced the imprisoned Myers will escape and kill again — and so he does. This is the B-movie sequel the original “Halloween” has always deserved. (Horror, R, 1 hr. 56 min) Night School (Jasper 8 Theatres) Am I asking too much of “Night School”? It’s no big thing, this new movie starring Kevin Hart and Tiffany Haddish, and nobody’s expecting a formula-, game- or life-changer. You just don’t want to leave feeling shortchanged. Is that so wrong? Director Malcolm D. Lee’s commodity squeaks by, barely, with solid comic assistance from the delightful Romany Malco (serenely panicked, every second) and Mary Lynn Rajskub (“blessed,” she keeps saying, even though her character’s domestic life is pure hell). Along with Rob Riggle, Al Madrigal and Anne Winters, they’re welcome company as the Hart character’s fellow night school students, prepping for the GED exam under the tough-love guidance of the overworked Atlanta educator portrayed by Haddish. Hart remains an audience-pleaser, though I confess I found him a little wearing here; Haddish, a fresher presence, can do only so much with a role that’s more function than form. The actors aren’t the problem with “Night School”; the material is. It’ll nonetheless likely prove a hit because of who’s in it, headliners and supporting ringers alike.

this curious fear of technology even further, with the film’s Elon Musklike villain persuading the prime minister to store sensitive government data on his own private server. But this cautionary 21st-century theme inevitably takes a back seat to more timeless — and shameless — slapstick, with director David Kerr (who primarily works on British TV) allowing Atkinson plenty of room to flex his comic muscle. When an insomniac English mistakes an energy pill for a sleep aid, he does what any other sleepless secret agent might do: He goes out dancing, managing to evade the murderous plotting of an enemy agent (Olga Kurylenko, of “Quantum of Solace”). Does it matter that the joke repeats an episode from the 2011 film “Johnny English Reborn” (arguably, the best of the series)? Hardly. Atkinson’s energy is that infectious. Like “Mission: Impossible — Fallout,” in which a 56-year-old Tom Cruise famously did his own stunts, “Johnny English Strikes Again” showcases yet another gracefully aging star of a storied spy franchise. Here, however, Atkinson may even outdo Cruise, with the comedian hurling his 63-year-old body into the service of comedy. With this latest installment in what has turned out to be a surprisingly consistent series, Johnny English’s old-fashioned pratfalls make for an irreverent raspberry in the face of evil.

Current cinema New Releases Beautiful Boy
Currently playing A Star Is Born (Jasper 8 Theatres) In his directorial debut, Bradley Cooper (also the leading man) strikes the perfect balance between a showbiz fable and an intimate story with universal truths. As the protege who rockets to fame, Lady Gaga is a winning, natural presence, even in the scenes where she’s nowhere near a piano or a microphone. (Drama, R, 2 hrs. 16 min.) Goosebumps 2 (Jasper 8 Theatres) The 2015 adaptation of R.L. Stine’s popular “Goosebumps” book series was way better than it had any right to be. Starring Jack Black as a freewheeling version of the author, the film was a kidfriendly Halloween spookfest that examined the way we use horror as a coping mechanism in everyday life. It was smart and silly and scary, anchored by the inimitable Black. But the follow-up, “Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween,” is a serious disappointment, starting with how Black is barely in it. Less Black, less ‘bumps, as it turns out. It’s not just the lack of Black that has a detrimental effect. There’s a changeover of writing and directing teams, writers Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski and director Rob Letterman replaced by writer Rob Lieber and director Ari Sandel. Darren Lemke stays on as cowriter, but no holdovers from the original cast, either. Turning it into an anthology franchise, there’s a new group of kids in a new town, Wardenclyffe, N.Y., who are taken in by the evil machinations of ventriloquist dummy Slappy. (Fantasy/adventure PG, 1 hr. 30 min.) Halloween (Jasper 8 Theatres) Four decades after Michael Myers
Smallfoot (Jasper 8 Theatres) It’s not often an animated children’s movie features lessons about critical thinking. But in this zippy, silly, zany, cheery little tale, a skeptical Yeti (voice of Channing Tatum) in a land of Yetis learns the value of questioning the status quo. (Animated adventure, PG, 1 hr. 36 min.) Venom ½ (Jasper 8 Theatres) The great Tom Hardy flounders his way through a terrible clunker about a man inhabited by a bloodthirsty alien. The special effects are
The Spy Who Dumped Me The spurned ex (Mila Kunis) of a secret CIA operative goes on the run with her best friend (Kate McKinnon), pursued by various agents and assassins. There’s so much noise and nonsense in this cheerfully violent action laffer that the two great comic actresses never get the full opportunity to establish chemistry.
