Rating: A ragtag group of fellow rebels is also on hand to help yetizens accept the truth and question hidebound beliefs etched on sacred stones since antiquity.
The wintry environment is gorgeously rendered and the narrative is interspersed with musical interludes by celebrity entertainers such as Common (the overbearing keeper of the stones), Zendaya (his daughter) and James Corden (the hapless human).unlike the hostile traits attributed to the deemed outsiders in Peppermint (also released this week) the cartoon espouses the need for communication and harmonious co-existence with the ‘other’.
he law of diminishing returns has finally caught up with the 15-year-old spy-spoof franchise. Even die-hard devotees of Johnny English will find little to cheer in this third installment of the eponymous series.
Summoned out of retire- ment after a cyber-attack has exposed the identities of all active British undercover agents, the buffoonish secret service superhero (Rowan Atkinson) is tasked with tracking down the dastardly hacker.
The ungainly plot dispatches the old-school spy to the south of France where he manfully tries to cope with the challenges of modern technology.
The past-his-prime Atkinson runs through the gamut of slapstick shenanigans and physical shtick but rarely elicits a laugh-out–loud response. The comedian clearly seems to have exhausted his once-so-welcome flair for family-friendly fluff.
It should come as no surprise then that the latest English… escapade is tiresome, unfunny and instantly forgettable.
