Review by Hollie Horror ★★★ 11

I don't know why I agreed to watch this, but the best part was Willem Dafoe as Vincent Gallo.
Review by Matthew L. Brady ★★½

To be honest I think the TV series of Mr. Bean and the 1997 film Bean was ten times better than Mr. Bean's Holiday. The movie had some funny parts in it and Rowan Atkinson was good has always, but there was a lot of good films that came out the same times has this movie and I would watch those than this.
Review by KMOKLER ★★ 2

Rowan Atkinson can actually act but im afraid to say i've never really liked mr bean its just too much slapstick humour.
Review by ben radetski ★★★★½

Such a charming film. A laugh riot from start to finish, at its heart a classical comedy in the vain of Charles Chaplin and Buster Keaton, but adjusted for the digital age. Then by the end, when all is said and done, and the journey ends, it's a lovely tribute to family, friendship, and the art of cinema. I absolutely cherished this film.

I assume that this is a riff/tribute on the French slapstick silent comedy M Hulot's Holiday, but that wouldn't even come into play for the film's target audience. Perhaps it makes for a good chance to expand horizons and show them something different?

I haven't watched anything from Mr. Bean since I was a kid, but I remember cracking up at the 90s TV show. I forgot just how animated Bean's face & mannerisms can be - both good and bad, as some instances were downright horrifying. Perhaps aging 10-15 years since the TV show didn't do him any favours when the camera is close up?

But as unique as Bean himself is, it's the situational slapstick that is more timeless…
Review by AJ Black ★★½

The original TV to movie translation for popular British comic character Mr. Bean back in 1997 failed primarily because in attempting to translate the character to the big screen, it lost a great deal of the elements that made him so funny in the first place - the near silent, escalating, Chaplin-esque farce - and replaced much of it by trying to shoehorn Bean into a more conventional narrative, with a saccharine, Americanised element. Though never reaching the heights of the TV series at its best, Mr. Bean's Holiday improves on it's predecessor by taking the alien, fish out of water bumbler & placing him once again into a tumbling, escalating level of disaster while using the well worn 'take the…

Review by Madeleine ★★★★★

Comedy in its most simplistic form. It's basically Mr. Bean bringing chaos everywhere he goes in his quest for the beach.
