Watch Mr. Bean's Holiday For Free

Highly Overrated But Still Good

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

This definitely the best Mr Bean film I have ever watched in terms of plot and humour but there can be a few serious moments involved.The best scene is when Mr Bean is waiting for ride to pick him up in the middle of the road, when he goes into a seafood restaurant and orders a platter only to chuck oster juice in a woman's purse and to eat a lobster by it's bottom and when him and some french boy are doing street performing.As a whole it is a good movie and just like with Bean my final score is 9/10.

It doesn't happen very often to me, but I think this film actually gets better with repeat viewings. Ten years after release, the criticisms at the time seem pretty petty; the film really works as an extension of the TV series and an homage to, on one end, the European comedy tradition of Jaques Tati, and on the other end, silent movie slapstick. And the references to pretentious cinema auteurs seems even more relevant today than ten years ago. The film has a nice, slow pace I appreciate more and more, and it's expertly produced and photographed. The supporting cast is good, especially French Emma de Caunes, who manages to portray some extraordinary sweet normalcy, as a contrast to Mr Beans antics.

The reason I score Mr. Bean's Holiday so low is because the story is just not good enough to keep you interested for the entire movie. And beside the occasional good laughing scene most of the other scenes are just things we saw before. Those things used to be funny when you see them for the first time but after seeing them over and over you get a bit bored by it. Rowan Atkinson as bean is mostly know for his crazy mimics. Dialogues you won't get, ever, and that's fine, because that's how Bean works. But too much of the same isn't good either. Plus the fact that they show this movie over and over here is also a thing that doesn't make me rate it higher. I do laugh every now and then with Bean but if I had to chose then I would just watch Blackadder again. There you can see Rowan Atkinson at his best. If you never saw any Bean movie then you will probably enjoy the absurd humor and mimics in Mr.Bean's Holiday. Otherwise you probably will get bored like me after a while.

This is the kind of movie you'd watch with your family or children at a nice weekend afternoon , knowing that the movie will be amusing, funny and capturing from the start to the very end ! Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson) is that kind of a funny, talented, enriched & spontaneous character we will never get bored of , no matter how old we are.I think the highlight of the movie is Bean's own performance , the dances , the query facial expressions & the unintended mess he puts himself through.Have fun with this light movie !
