| Trama |
Il British Secret Service (i servizi segreti inglesi) è alle prese con un caso spinoso: un improbabile piano per rubare i gioielli della Corona. Della missione viene incaricato il più dotato degli agenti che, però, viene eliminato in circostanze misteriose. Non solo, ben presto viene raggiunto da quasi tutti i suoi migliori colleghi. Nell'ora del pericolo le sole chances del M17 sono affidate al più imbranato degli agenti segreti, Johnny English, chiamato a proteggere il Paese, vendicare i colleghi morti e scoprire la misteriosa mente che ha architettato il furto dei gioielli della Corona.
An explosion at the funeral of Agent One, Britain's top agent, wipes out every secret agent in the country—except one. When a plot to steal the Crown Jewels is revealed, Johnny English, an inept worker at British Intelligence (whose bungling was partially responsible for not only the agents' death, but Agent One himself, after giving Agent One incorrect information about his mission) is summoned as a last resort. Together with his assistant Bough (Ben Miller), he manages to discover the person behind the plot, the French prison entrepreneur Pascal Sauvage (John Malkovich), whose family once had a claim to the throne.
Sauvage - a descendant of William the Conqueror - believes that the crown should have gone to him instead of the Queen, and has hatched an evil plan to become King of the United Kingdom: steal the Crown Jewels, have an impostor replace the Archbishop of Canterbury, and have him proclaim Sauvage as King. Meanwhile, English is strangely attracted to a mysterious woman, Lorna Campbell (Natalie Imbruglia), whom he meets at a big social event whilst guarding the centrepiece to the whole event—the Crown Jewels. He inevitably fails, and the Jewels, despite a desperate attempt on his part to retrieve them, are stolen.
Meanwhile, English reports his suspicions to the head of MI7 named Pegasus (Tim Pigott-Smith), who naturally doesn't believe him. English and Bough infiltrate Sauvage's headquarters, behind the knowledge of the agency, via parachute. English initially lands on the wrong building and selling, the nearby and identical London Hospital, and after a phenomenal error of judgment resulting in him holding several doctors and patients at gunpoint, English enters the headquarters through a back door. Both agents activate a DVD player, exposing Sauvage's sinister scheme. English, after accidentally injecting himself with muscle relaxant, meets Lorna again, who turns out to be an Interpol agent herself, also on Sauvage's tail. Along with Bough, they gatecrash a party held by Sauvage, and Bough and English are promptly dismissed by their superiors (partly due to one of the henchmen reporting English's antics to Sauvage, still a friend of English's unwitting boss, and partially because the muscle relaxant's effects had not worn off completely end, making English seem somewhat inebriated).
Sauvage concludes that English knows too much and has his henchmen enter Sandringham House and force the Queen to sign a letter of abdication renouncing her family's claim to the British throne. The Queen, at first, refused to sign even at gunpoint, but when the threat was turned to one of her Welsh Corgis, she signs, thus, leaving the post free for Sauvage. Sauvage is informed by British officials the day after that, as the closest surviving relative of the Queen, the position of monarch now belongs to him.
English returns to his flat in regret for himself. However, Lorna pays him a visit, saying that the mission which he was dismissed from was reassigned to her, and she persuades English to join her. They both travel to France and infiltrate Sauvage's chateau and overhear Sauvage's proposal of turning the United Kingdom into a giant prison once he is king. However, in a room where they are spying on Sauvage, English accidentally triggers a microphone, which causes Sauvage to hear their tactics and promptly call on guards to seize them. They decide to take the DVD, but due to English dropping it on a tray full of identical unlabeled disks, take the wrong one—a surveillance video of English dancing to ABBA in his bathroom. They are held hostage by Sauvage, however they manage to free themselves and return to England on the day of his coronation.
At Sauvage's coronation, English sneaks in with Lorna, emerges from his disguise as the English bishop in front of Sauvage and accuses him of treason. Oblivious to the fact that the idea of a fake Archbishop was scratched, English attempts to verify his claim by pulling at the Archbishop's face, believing it to be a mask. This fails predictably. Undeterred, he tries to expose the 'fake' Archbishop a second time. Whilst infiltrating Sauvage's headquarters earlier on in the film, when Sauvage's first plan was still in action, English spotted a tattoo on the lower back of the original wearer of the Archbishop mask: ' Jesus is coming... look busy '. English grabs the Archbishop, turns him round and, in front of everyone at Westminster Abbey and the millions of viewers, bares the Archbishop's tattoo-free rear end. Upon realizing that there is no tattoo there himself, English resorts to a final, last-ditch attempt. He radios to Bough to tell him to play the DVD they retrieved. Bough has the people running the event at gunpoint, and makes them play the DVD on the massive television screen in the Abbey, an act which results in half the world's population watching English, in a shower cap and underpants, dancing and miming along to 'Does Your Mother Know', by ABBA. English is subsequently taken away, but breaks free from Sauvage's cronies once again and, swinging from a wire above Sauvage and the Archbishop, grabs the crown before it touches Sauvage's head. While he is trying to prevent the Archbishop from crowning Sauvage king, he falls onto the throne, knocking Sauvage onto the floor, and is inadvertently crowned himself; he then places Sauvage under arrest, reveals the schemes to the public, and abdicates in favour of the Queen.
After a grateful thanking from the Queen, English is asked if there is anything she can do for him. He requests to be knighted. The film ends with a romantic scene in an Aston Martin with Johnny and Lorna cut short by English leaning on the ejector button, propelling Lorna airborne, and into a swimming pool. Watching her is Bough who is on vacation and a man whose bizarre appearance matches the description Johnny invented for an imaginary assailant at the original jewel theft, one facial feature includes, "a scar in the shape of a banana". |
