Remember that although you may have seen other JOHNNY ENGLISH films, you are rating the trailer for an audience who may not be familiar with the character. Think about the role that humour plays in the trailer – are we meant to take the action seriously? Before you make your decision about what rating you would give the trailer, remember that trailers do not always get the same rating as the feature films they are advertising.
