Bean
Synopsis
One Man. One Masterpiece. One Very Big Mistake.
Bean works as a caretaker at Britain's formidable Royal National Gallery, and his bosses want to fire him because he sleeps at work all the time, but can't because the chairman of the gallery's board defends him. They send him to USA, to the small Los Angeles art gallery instead, where he'll have to officiate at the opening of the greatest US picture ever (called "Whistler's Mother").

I happen to enjoy Mr.Bean... and Rowan Atkinson
although I did laugh at parts of this film It bugged me that is was an American production... I dont know there is jsut something about BBC the way they film and portray something that makes me warm anf fuzzy inside....
and besides I think Rowin Akinsons best performance is in Black Adder.... man I love that show!

I can't remember the last time I made so many audible noises of agony in one sitting (and I got up and left the room several times- I had to consider my sanity, which began to fray during the film's running time and isn't looking too good from this point, now that I have to think about this... this... This, either) in my life. If I laughed once, it was because I could feel myself starting to slip into madness. Apparently, and don't ask me WHERE this came from, I've now instituted a rule about finishing a movie once I start it. But: what for? I can't (and have decided I won't) do my usual run down of everything wrong…

My mom won a VHS of this on a radioshow. Me and my brother watched it repeatedly for years and we wore out the tape. Back then it was funny as hell seeing Mr. Bean doing his shenanigans, but this time rewatching it, I saw for the first time that it's kinda lame. And I accept it.

Taking British comedy icon Mr.Bean global was going to be difficult, but as the exceptional Rowan Atkinson proves over and over again, is that his character depends more on visual comedy and a touch of human emotion to really make him a winner.
Sent to America representing te Britigh Gallery to oversee the transition of famous painting 'Whistlers Mother' just to get him out of the way, Bean soon wreaks havoc from the moment he lands wit a fantastic skit involving the armed police at the airport to moving in with the LA Art Gallery manager and his family.
It's full of daft gags, but the story is decent to carry everyone along smoothly. It's touching in places, but never lets up on the giggles thanks to Atkinson's charm and comedy timing.
Directed by Brit Mel Smith, this a success for Bean taking down America!

An 80s comedy stuck in the 90s with an epic musical score. I know this one has quite a few flaws, but I have some great family memories of watching Mr. Bean (the TV series) when I was a kid, so my love for this movie is a little biased.

It's a shame Rowan Atkinson's never been able to make it as a film actor, despite some moderate hits such as this.

I loved Mr. Bean as a kid, and I loved this movie as a kid. It does not hold up as well as I would have liked, but I still love the movie. This is one of the rare movies that gets better the further in you get.
