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
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

Summary: Very funny and very enjoyable
Comment: For me, a comedy gets 5 stars if it is laugh out loud, and this one often is. Also, if it's a film I'd like to keep, and see again some time. It is.

Summary: The English Mr. Hulot!
Comment: Very funny Mr. Bean's movie! He wins a marvelous prize in a raffle at the local parish, a week holiday to Cannes, France! Arriving in Paris, things start getting difficult for Mr Bean as he needs to catch the TGV train to Cannes. The funniest moment for me is the one at the Gare de Lyon's Restaurant where he tries to eat seafood!! Then, his adventure continues as he meets a little boy in unusual circunstances and they try to reach their destination together. Watch this movie for Mr Bean's traditional innocent humour! All the family will laugh together!

Summary: Fun comedy
Comment: Rowan Atkinson makes being funny appear easy, but he clearly works hard to entertain. His character doesn't have to say much at all in this movie to get the viewer roaring, his facial expressions and movements are hilarious on their own. Bean is a stumble bum with a big heart who never fails to just barely wiggle out of a mess.

Summary: The Empty Can of Bean(s)
Comment: 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.
