	Author	Review
United States	Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News	"Its very existence does suggest that someone must have been waiting impatiently for a sequel to 2003's "Johnny English." But unless that superfan is you, there's not much to recommend about this airless spy spoof (...) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG

United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"[It] is funnier and has a stronger personality than its forerunner (...) It may not elicit explosive laughter, but it plants a steady smile on your face"	POS

United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Many of the gags are good, and it goes out on a head-banging high note. But some ideas are undeveloped (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
