Editorial Review: Description: Rowan Atkinson (Bean, Love Actually, Johnny English) returns to his iconic role as the comical and endearing Mr. Bean in this outrageous comedy adventure! Mr. Bean (Atkinson) can't believe his luck when he wins a camcorder and an all-expense-paid vacatio Amazon.com: Welcome back, Mr. Bean! After a too-long hiatus, it's a breath of fresh air to see you out and about, innocent as ever, unwitting in the havoc you wreak and clueless in the chaos you cause. In Mr. Bean's Holiday (the title echoes Jacques Tati's breezy 1953 classic Mr. Hulot's Holiday), the resourceful man-child Bean (Rowan Atkinson) wins a church raffle that packs him off to the beaches of the south of France. But getting there is all the funny, as he is detoured by one mishap after another. En route, he comes to the "aid" of a Cannes Film Festival judge's young son, who is separated (no thanks to Bean) from his father at the train station. Bean also stumbles upon a commercial shoot directed by a stereotypical egomaniacal American filmmaker (Willem Dafoe), and crosses paths with an aspiring actress (a charming Emma de Caunes) also on her way to Cannes. Mr. Bean's Holiday, an upgrade over the 1997 feature Bean, was a box-office smash around the world, but in the States, not so much. Here, the shock gag has replaced the sight gag, and this G-rated Holiday might be considered by more jaded viewers as out of step with contemporary tastes (unlike Borat, there is not a mean-spirited bone in Bean's gangly, malleable body). But in the classic tradition of the silent-movie clowns, Bean's visual comedy is universal and requires little translation (there are limited subtitles in this film). Younger children will find a kindred spirit in Bean, who exists in some kind of state of grace, whether trying to digest a disgusting seafood dinner or hilariously lip-syncing to an opera in a public square. --Donald Liebenson Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The Empty Can of Bean(s)Borrowed this movie from the local library, so, thankfully, it cost me little more than the precious minutes of my life that I will never get back. My wife and I couldn't finish watching the film. I felt bad for Mr. Bean... Watch Johnny English (Widescreen Edition) instead. You can imagine that Mr. Bean has taken some personality classes, learned how to speak, and moved onto a life of crime fighting all without losing his sense of humor. Rating: - Wonderful!I just finished watching this on cable TV. First rate Mr. Bean material. Very original but still in the Mr. Bean character tradition. Mr. Bean is a creature both naive and in touch with the unconscious wisdom to be in the "NOW" and with "the force". Fascinating to watch and actually very suspenseful. Just when you think it can't get any more unlucky and doomed, circumstances and his uncanny creativity come through for him. A pure delight. Rating:  - Mr. Bean returns!Rowan Atkinson is brilliant in his Mr. Bean role. I have never seen the first feature length film, but I have seen most (if not all) of his TV skits, and this film is in keeping with that tone. I loved the skits, and this film provided some of the biggest laughs I have had watching movies in a long time. Yes, there are some groans, but that is to be expected from visual comedy--take that alongside the belly laughs and be grateful! The best scenes, in my opinion, were the lobster-eating ...

Atkinson is no match for Sellers. The film is silly, insulting, and just plain dumb. Sorry I wasted an evening viewing this stinker. Rating: - Sidesplitting Funny!Brilliant film, all the cleverness of a silent film with gorgeous cinematography, hysterically funny scenes, and a warm feel good ending. 5 stars!!! Very family friendly, also. Browse for similar items by category:
