Watch Bean For Free

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

This is one of the greatest comedies of all time.Rowan Atkinson is brilliant and the fact he didn't get at least an Oscar nod is a travesty of unforgivable proportions.How someone can not watch the scene with the 2 way mirror or the bathroom scene and not find that funny is beyond me.

Bean is a good movie with a decent storyline and a very good comedic cast.It certainly isn't the comedy gold that the television series is but it's still very enjoyable and you will laugh out loud a lot.My biggest problem was that Mr Bean spoke too much in this movie, he's suppose to be a silent character who myth say a few words every now and again,but in this he actually has full lines and even a while speech at one stage.Rowan Atkinson did do his best as Mr Bean and delivered plenty of solid laughs and I really liked Peter MacNicol as well as the voice of reason.The movie is very different to the television series and fans will definitely be disappointed,but if you really enjoy watching Rowan Atkinson play Mr Bean in any aspect then you should definitely check out Bean. Mr Bean heads to Los Angeles to return a famous painting from a museum in England back to America.He stays with a family that he breaks up with his own stupidity without even realizing.

"Bean" was a huge part of my childhood. I'd watch it almost as much as "Mrs. Doubtfire" so I'm going to be extremely bias in my opinions. Sorry. We all know that Mr.Bean is a love it or hate it character (how could anyone hate?) I for one, LOVE Mr.Bean and find his farcical, childish and downright simple behaviour absolutely hilarious. We all know that doing a film based on a TV series isn't always such a great idea too, but here "Bean" absolutely pulls it off. The only thing wrong with the film is that is simply isn't long enough. Watching all the fantastic deleted scenes devastates me that they didn't include them in."Bean" is one hilarious sequence after another, with actually a surprisingly great plot and some nice character development on the Langley family. Frankly is you the handkerchief scene doesn't make you laugh (eat you heart out Othello!) or even the drying the wet patch scene and the scene after that, then you know that Mr.Bean is not for you. The idea of Mr.Bean destroying America's greatest painting is a stroke of genius and it really is a hilarious sight to behold, as well as conveying a feeling of absolute disastrous terror! "Bean" also has a really fantastic sweeping score that I think deserves to have been Oscar-nominated! Rowan Atkinson also puts on another faultless performance as the character, and whilst the film isn't exactly perfect, it's still an absolutely hilarious and entertaining farce that flies by. So please don't get all superficial about "Bean" because it does exactly what it sets out to do.

The TV series is a classic of a comedy series, so naturally this film had a lot to live up to. It comes close, but overall it isn't a patch on the TV series. Starting with the few I had, the plot is rather generic and somewhat predictable in areas too, and I think while making an effort to stick to the spirit of the series is rather thin for the running time. Also some of the melodrama is rather sappy for my tastes. On the other hand, the film does look great, so is the soundtrack, the physical comedy is laugh-out-loud-funny, Peter MacNicol is good in his conventional role and Rowan Atkinson is brilliant as Mr Bean. All in all, there is much to enjoy but it does fall short of the series. 7/10 Bethany Cox
