Personal Quote:

I remember looking up Johnny English in a film guide and it said 'intermittently hilarious' - quite a good description of five good jokes and a lot of longueurs. I find it frustrating that, apart from Four Weddings and a Funeral, I have yet to be involved in a film of which I am totally proud. See more »
