After too long on our screens Mr. Bean returns but not in his usual way. Instead of crazy laughs per minute (as in Bean and the earlier Mr. Bean TV episodes), this is a road trip movie with some gaps in the action. There are laughs but some of the scenes are more clever than hysterical. Nothing however can take away from the joy of sharing in Mr. Bean's exploits as he tries to reach his simple goal, a holiday at the beach. Everyone left the film with huge smiles and several had tears of happiness (not tears of uncontrollable laughter). If you want to see a happiness inducing pick me up movie then this is one of the best around.

Last week i took the girlfriend to see '300', this week it was her turn to pick the film... her choice... Mr Beans Holiday. I wasn't too impressed with this but fair is fair! I couldn't remember much of the first film but wasn't expecting to be blown away or enjoy it to be frank! However i was pleasantly surprised and am not ashamed to admit i enjoyed it. Don't get me wrong, this is no classic but it is a enjoyable film. The first thing i liked was the fact it wasn't set in America, so i didn't have to listen to a number of Americans try to explain who this Mr Bean character was! I didn't laugh out loud, but I did chuckle along at the jokes and enjoyed some of the darker aspects such as the mobile phone gags! When i saw Karel Roden pop up early on in the film i chuckled to myself as he filmed the camcorder... thinking back to the film '15 minutes' (if you've seen it you'll understand what i mean) This helped me loosen up and allowed me to enjoy the film. Also loved the whole Carson Clay in love with himself film moment near the end.

I loved Black Adder, but was only a Mr Bean fan when i was very young, as an adult i have to say i'd grown out of it! This however made me reminisce and remember how good a comedian Rowan Atkinson is! The director also deserves credit too, as he keeps this story nicely edited through-out and lets the adventure unfold at a nice pace. Mr Beans love interest also deserves credit for being very easy on the eye! I won't go on about this film much, but basically don't just cross it off as something you'll hate. This is a loving, nice, and light-hearted affair, though strange in places it fits itself as a film that is good enough to sit through and enjoy. So if it's a rainy day sit back, relax and watch! A basic film comedy for all the family!

Mr. Bean is back and he's going to France on a holiday adventure. It's great to see Rowan Atkinson back on the big screen after a long time. I think the last time I saw him on screen was in 'Love Actually' (not so-great film but Atkinson was awesome). And of course, he's playing the character he immortalized, the goofy Mr. Bean. There are several Beanish slapstick moments set throughout the dazzling spectacular French locations. Beam also befriends a young Russian, Stepan and a French actress, Sabine. Together they share his adventures.

Though the comedy itself doesn't rely on witty dialogues, there's plenty of fresh slapstick and silly moments that made me laugh. Of course, I enjoy Mr. Bean's sketches too so there is a chance that those who don't like him, might not enjoy the film. I found the characters quite lovable. Emma de Caunes as Sabine is charming and pretty and child actor Max Baldry as Stepan is impressive (unlike those annoying movie kids who 'beg' the audience to love them when getting on their nerve). But 'Mr. Bean's Holiday' clearly belongs to Atkinson. He's a wonderful comedian and it's great to seem him back as Mr. Bean.

Cinematography and visuals do a great job by portraying the stunning locations of France. Yes, because of that the film is visually impressive too. The editing seems good enough but I found the ending to be slightly choppy.

Having said all that, 'Mr. Bean's Holiday' is much better than it's prequel. This one feels fresh and...well my summary pretty much says it all. A fun family film, especially if you like the Mr. Bean Sketches.

Thanks to a church raffle Mr Bean wins a holiday to the South of France, as he wants to go Cannes. He must negociate Eurostar, Paris cabs, while not losing his passport or the camcorder with which he is documenting his fabulous journey. Bean only uses three words of French : non, oui and gracias. Along the way he has encounters with a lost Russian boy : Baldry , an aspiring actress : Emma de Caunes, and an egomaniac filmmaker : William Defoe, all en route to the Cannes Film Festival.

It is a fun set-up with plenty of room of hilarious set pieces, including ridiculous situations, continuous jokes and absurd humor. The laughs and jokes have a variable strike rate and there are times when you feel that everyone's just treading water before the next big set piece. Still Rowan Atkinson proves is on peak form, showing a great skill on the hilarous public spectacle he plays to save some money to take the bus or train. The theme about a strange man in a strange land is quite fun, too. Rowan Atkinson is well accompanied by a good support cast such as : Emma de Caunes as the sympathetic newcomer actress, the veteran Jean Rochefort, Karel Roden, the little boy Max Baldry and special mention for William Defoe in a likeable role as a maniac and proud director.

Mr Bean Tv series enjoyed worldwide syndication. Being the first : short Mr Bean Bus stop 1991, following Mr Bean series 90-95. A film : Bean 1997 by Mel Smith with Rowan Atkinson, Peter MacNicol, Pamela Reed, Harris Yulin . Mr Bean's wedding, Mr Bean : Funeral short. Mr Bean, the animated series formed by 105 episodes, Hundy Bean and TV shorts 2018-2020. Furthermore, a similar character as a butcher spy in 3 films : Johnny English, Johnny reborn and Jonny English strikes again. In addition, Rowan Atkinson has played serious role as Inspector Maigret in TV movies as : Maigret ln Montmartre, Maigret's night at the crossroads, Maigret's dead man, Maigret sets a trap.

This Bean's Holiday contains a lively and catching musical score by Howard Goodall. As well as colorful and evocative cinematography by Irvine, being completely shot in France. This amusing motion picture produced by Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner was well directed by Steve Bendelack.

I enjoyed a lot this movie...it made me lo-ugh for the first time in a long time...Rowan Atkinson does a wonderful performance playing Mr. Bean...The story of the movie is simple:Mr. Bean wins a trip to France...But in reaching France he passes through a lot of adventured, partly of his lack of knowledge of the language...I liked the idea of the movie, the lack of dialogs, made me like more this movie and especially enojy Mr. Bean's gags...Another thing that i liked is the fact that this film is fille with very interesting scenes,very funny and original...The "tie scene" and "doing everything not to fall asleep scene" are in my opinion very original...I awnt to add that the movie also had some sad parts, but this made me appreciate all the more this movie...I gave it a 7 cause it really impressed and changed my day.

If you liked the TV series and the first Bean movie, you will most definitely enjoy this one. The plot, in a nutshell, is that Mr Bean wins a raffle, and his prize is a trip to Cannes in the south of France. But disaster ensues, and he ends up getting lost. All he wants to do is go to the beach, but he gets caught up in other people's problems - including a lost child.

The acting is superb. Mr Bean stays in character, and is still funny - it doesn't grow old. All the other characters do a good job too. They speak several different languages so there's plenty of variety here. The storyline is wonderful too - and it doesn't shove too much detail into your face. Unlike the previous Bean movie, it is closer to the series because the plot is simpler. It is simple yet enjoyable. The comedy varies from simple chuckles to hysterical laughter, and there should be something for everyone.

So, for my closing comment, it is simple enough for kids to understand, but enough plot and laughs to keep adults amused. There's something for everyone here.

Well, overall I'd say that I enjoyed this movie and got enough laughs out of it to make it worthwhile, but I wouldn't watch it again. I think you can only take so much of Rowan Atkinson's "Mr. Bean." A newcomer to him (believe-it-or-not), I found him a lot of fun in the first half of the film but, boy, this guy is tough to take in longer dosages. I wonder if others feel that way?

It's weird; the film was entertaining.....but I found myself looking at my watch a lot during the last 20 minutes, hoping it would end. Maybe breaking the film into two viewings would have helped. Atkinson's goofy faces are very funny at first but get tiresome after an hour.

Well, it was a "cute" story, anyway, and certainly one the whole family could watch. There is nothing, language or sex-wise, that would offend anyone. This is just old-fashioned, almost silent-film-type slapstick comedy. "Mr. Bean" certainly is a likable guy, as are the co- stars, Emma De Caunes and young ------ . Actually I probably laughed more at the ultra- corny lines delivered by Willem Dafoe, whose character pokes fun at film makers. How Dafoe uttered some of these lines with a straight face is beyond me!

The film, though, belongs to Atkinson who is in about every scene and hams it up to the max. If you laugh at his contorted facial expressions and limber body (check out his karaoke work!), you'll love the film. It's very lighthearted comedy and I wouldn't knock the innocence of it, but it's difficult to take in one dose.

Overall: recommended because this is one of the few comedies of recent times you can actually watch with your kids and not worry about anything offensive. For that, it deserves some accolades.

This hasn't quite been the great year for movies that I had hoped for, but it has certainly been a very good year for comedies, and "Mr. Bean's Vacation" is the best so far. It is also quite a daring film -- who would have imagined a G-rated, live action comedy these days, and without any fart jokes? Where's Mel Brooks when we need him? Just kidding.

This movie homage, and I can it can be argued that it is, to the great Tati films of "Mon Oncle" and "Mr. Hulot's Holiday" is Rowan Atkinson's triumphant farewell to the great character he created. It is hard to imagine any other actor living today pulling this off. Indeed, "Vacation" comes very close to being a silent film -- though I want to assure anyone wandering in from a showing of Transformers, that there are explosion. Now over at the well-known movie review site, half the critics are complaining about Mr. Bean's mugging. Half the critics at that site will apparently complain about anything. But when you have a face as brilliantly expressive as Atkinson's, gosh people, you use it. To moan about that, well, it's like going to a Fred Astaire movie and complaining about the dancing.

But more than that, every scene works, fast or slow, the pacing is perfect. Silly scenes or heartfelt, or both, the comedy never flags. It is one of those movies that long afterward you will be recalling scenes and laughing. The casting is perfect. William Defoe? Yes! There is also a lot of feeling here. I completely bought every one of the characters and their relationships. That is great comic writing.

It also has one of the best endings of any movies out there. For some reason, contemporary films are having a terribly difficult time with coming up with a satisfactory ending. Not "Mr. Bean's Vacation." It has an astonishingly goofy conclusion, one that Mel Brooks at the top of his form would have had a hard time equaling.

I cannot recommend this movie enough, though I wish it had been longer. Take your family to see it -- it will be a long time before anyone can say that again about a contemporary comedy.

When this film began, I noticed a major problem at the beginning--and a problem that often plagues TV shows that are brought to the big screen. Instead of using the original writers who made the show so amazing, all-new writers were responsible for this film. Why idiots in charge of film companies do things like this is beyond me. So, from the outset, I was unimpressed and a bit baffled. I would have MUCH preferred to just see the simple sort of skits done the way they were so expertly done on the show--and the same problem existed with the first Bean film. No new locations, no guest stars to take away from the glory that is Bean and the same old writers that made it one of the best comedies in TV history.

The film finds Mr. Bean winning a raffle which gave him a trip to Cannes. Along the way there, he naturally gets into various problems and leaves a wake of destruction. Ultimately, his weird ways result in a man missing his train--and his young son is stuck on the train to Cannes alone. Bean, in an unusual display of conscience (something he generally seems devoid of in the past), he decides to help the kid--though it took his missing a train to get him to do this. What makes this a little tougher is that the kid only speaks Russian.

In many ways, this plot is rather reminiscent of the "Mind the Baby Mr. Bean" TV episode--though it throws in some pathos and schmaltz involving worried parents wondering about what has happened to their missing kid. Pathos is really something rather un-Bean like. Normally, the consequences of Bean's actions on others is rarely shown for more than a second or two--as people are usually more like objects in the show.

Overall, it IS a decent film despite my being terribly disappointed in it. For people who never raw the original show, they'll probably like it a lot more than crazed folks like me who own DVDs of the original shows and think they are the greatest things on the planet! The main problem are that there's just too much plot in the film and the writing and pacing are wrong--making it enjoyable but a shadow of the original. On the plus side, the scenery in the film is nice and it does make you want to visit the French countryside. And, while it had almost nothing to do with Bean, I really liked the self-absorbed director's film (Willem Defoe) BEFORE Bean got a hold of it--it was a wonderful commentary on some film makers and it makes you wonder who they might have been parodying.

I don't get it, I loved the Mr Bean series (all 3 seasons) and the Bean movie, but this movie just has NOTHING funny in it. I literally didn't crack a smile from start to finish, nor did anyone else in the room. Whatever the other Bean episodes and movie had, this one hasn't got it. You'll take it back to the video store thinking "I should have picked that other movie I was going to instead". Truly a very sad end to the Bean franchise. Even in the original series, Bean could talk, although he didn't do so fairly often, but in this movie he seems to have been reduced to the status of retarded mute. The humor lay originally in the fact that he wasn't an idiot but saw things in a different way to the rest of us, but in Bean's Holiday, he appears to be a runaway from a sheltered workshop. It could have been oh, so, so, so good (particularly because the French, after all, provide plenty of ammunition to make fun of them with) but it completely missed the mark. I suspect Rowan Atkinson did it for the money only, write the script in an evening, and didn't do any research. It could have been filmed anywhere, with any characters, and the plot wouldn't have changed much. Pathetic, sad and very disappointed.

What I absolutely don't understand is what part of this movie people weren't satisfied with. If you aren't a Bean fan, then you obviously shouldn't watch this movie. With Mr. Bean, you either love him or you hate him, there is no middle ground, so you should know whether or not this movie will be worth your cash and your time. Like some people before me have stated, people who don't like this movie should check out "The Playback" by Carson Clay.

Unlike the last Bean movie, there is no moral yarn embedded in this story, just pure, unadulterated Mr. Bean comedy. This includes disasters that he unwittingly causes, and ones that he causes deliberately. Best of all, all the humor in this movie is new: you have not seen it on the show.

Basically, watching this movie is like watching a one and a half hour episode of the show, only better. Better because the humor is high budget. Better because there are recurring gags in the film, such as him saying "gracias" while thinking that he's speaking French. But most of all, better because this time there is also a plot. You find yourself cheering on Mr. Bean. For the first time, we can really connect with Atkinson's character. So did this movie pass my requirements of becoming "great"? Definitely, it passed with flying colors.

Mr Bean again doesn't disappoint. His real life situations are brought to the utmost of extremes once more. He could pick up a penny and be funny. The holiday scenario was a good choice and I had never ending chuckles to laughter throughout the movie. The characters chosen were good and the language barriers a fun extra. As usual Mr Bean tries to help everyone he sees and always puts himself in turmoil whilst doing so. Again he creates as much disaster as he avoids and one wonders why he leaves his house at all. This simplest of journeys turns into a fun ride through laughter, and the actual travel scenery and events make it real (well as real as it could get). So hop on board this fun Mr Bean adventure and laugh and cry though the journey.

More and more comedy are out nowadays. Some crap and some great. This is stuck in the middle of it. Not exactly the best Bean. But at least it's entertaining. Although they missed out some scenes and Mr Teddy. Where is TEDDY!!!??? Anyway, here is the story. Mr Bean wins a trip and then everything just went wrong.

Simple story but fun. Most kids will enjoy this more then adults. Soundtrack is kind of good. Quite a lot of good songs/scores. Mr Bean is just Mr Bean. No quotes from him. Just body language. I think that the first Mr Bean movie was better.

This is a movie mostly for people who wants some quick laugh and of course. Mr Bean fans.

Have you seen Rowan Atkinson's face? And if you have, have you paid close attention to it? There's something about his face; about his eyes and the way he plays with them and with everything else in, of course, his face: which includes ears, nose, mouth and so on (or something like that). It's true that he took advantage of this a long time ago to create a character named Mr. Bean; it's also true that he was born to play this creature and that no other will ever be able to do it.

My little cousin watches Atkinson's series about the same character, so he went to watch the film. "It's a little bit scary", he told me. In a way, he is right; because Mr. Bean's actions defy every moral rule and contain no precise explanation whatsoever. In other words, you would be freaked out if you encountered him on the street.

And that is everyone's reaction in "Mr. Bean's Holiday", where the man in question wins a trip to the beach of Cannes, France. The raffle organizer calls the winning number, '919', Bean has a paper which says '616' but of course, he doesn't realize until he throws it into the wagon of a little toy train and the number appears as it should be. He also wins a digital camera with the trip and he uses it to shoot random things and to film himself doing strange movements with his face and in occasions eating food he finds disgusting.

These are the kind of things, which happen in the movie; these are the type of situations you should expect. Although most of the time it is predictable, the humor flows naturally and the jokes are naturally amusing. As Bean himself with his camera, the director's shots are disinterested and don't seem premeditated in a good way, which leaves the viewer a clear idea that the picture doesn't take itself too seriously and makes the experience much more enjoyable.

There are a couple of moments which could have been spared and two or three times where the rhythm decays completely, but when it gets back on track the audience breaks into a constant laugh. Robin Driscoll, Simon McBurney and Hamish McColl wrote the screenplay; but it would have been the same if they hadn't done anything, because there are not many spoken words in the movie.

In fact, Atkinson, who is the main attraction, doesn't say more than thirty words in the whole film and frankly, that is just what makes "Mr. Bean's Holiday" a good movie and Mr. Atkinson's performance a great piece of work. Maybe his beloved creature moves and acts in a way we've seen a thousand times before, but his portrayal is a marvelous demonstration of corporal expression; everything lies within the actor's body.

That's also why the music plays a very important part in the film. Written by Howard Goodall, the score joins Mr. Bean in his adventures, happily playing behind him at all times, whether in the sound of a band or in an opportunity of making playback. The last scene has a little bit of another Mr., Mr. Magoo's style and this particular holiday truly makes me want to see all the work of one more Mr.; Charlie Chaplin.

If you asked a handful of people of varying ages in America, chances are you'd get about 8 out of 10 knowing who he is. They may not know Rowan's real name, but they know the character.

The sad part about this film is that it's absolutely wonderful, and most people in America aren't going to see it because it's rated "PG". Not a dirty gag, foul word, or joke about someone's junk to be found. And the really amazing part is that it's half comedy, half gorgeous scenery surrounding it. It mocks the Hollywood standard, it has melodious music, it's masterfully filmed, and all the while you just find yourself going "Oh, that Bean." *puts fists on hips*

I can't honestly say I've seen a film this good, this funny, this... pure that can make anyone laugh and find themselves feeling charmed after having seen it. Emma De Caunes stole my heart, Max Baldry is a kid that anyone his age can relate to, and Defoe actually pulls out a great, over-the-top performance without even uttering a four-letter word that he's so very good at snarling out.

You know what? Shame on us America. That we need the big bang, the flatulence, and the double entendre to amuse our soured idea of comedy. What is so wrong with having a character like Bean, a performance like Atkinson's, that we can't find that part of us that wasn't soured on tasteless "humor" but just absorb and let out a barrel-chested sigh of satisfaction after a hearty laugh from a genuine, clever clean joke or visual gag?

We'll go on, with our Jackasses and Scary Movie XII and we'll forget about them five minutes after we've left the theater, but darnit, it's high time a movie like Mr. Bean's Holiday came along. And I for one would pay money to see this again, even if the American know-it-alls of Hollywood think it's better suited in a death slot in September, to be forgotten, sandwiched between sequel after sequel and the banality of teen slasher flicks acted by twenty-somethings whose genre should have died off years ago.

If what Atkinson says is true, that this is the last time Bean will ever appear, then he's gone out on the highest note you could ever bestow on a character so beloved. Shine on Bean, and ride off into that sunset, you crazy, wonderful fella you. And thanks for all the laughs.

... But where's Teddy?

My husband and I took our two boys (ages 6 and 9) to this movie. We are avid Bean fans and have the DVD set that spans Atkinson's career as Mr. Bean. Is Mr. Bean's Holiday the greatest comedy ever? Probably not. However, as a parent I find it very difficult to take my boys to movies and this was one of the few times where I actually felt we were at a family picture. When was the last time a movie was rated G? My boys had a wonderful time watching the site gags, and they followed along with the subtitles, which I thought was good for them. My husband and I had a fun time and unlike many children's movies, there was no sarcastic attitude, which I find is so prevalent in films right now. Some people have cited that they felt Mr. Bean's relationship to a child in the movie was inappropriate, but I did not get that vibe from the film. Also, Atkinson has used children in his Bean skits for years, always with funny results. I think people may read too much into it. Remember, Bean is pretty much a boy himself. While I think an adult who has no familiarity with Bean may find it all rather ridiculous, this is good family fare that parents can feel comfortable with. As I tell my boys, sometimes it is just fun to be silly.

Mr. Bean's Holdiay was a movie I really enjoyed. Mr. Bean was back in true form, and delivered an unexpectedly funny movie. Part of Mr. Bean's humor is when something is about to happen, you can see it from a mile away, and you yell at the screen "look out Mr. Bean!" or "He left it on the counter! Oh No!" or what have you. There is plenty of this,but there is also a great deal of irony and clever wordplay in it as well. It's a well rounded comedy movie, that will be funny to children and adults alike. I'm not really a big Mr. Bean fan, but I really liked this movie anyway, and I know that most people will too, if they give it a chance. I will definitely recommend this movie to my friends, and to anyone who reads this review.

In this film Mr Bean finds himself winning a local church raffle and the hapless idiot embarks on a journey to France. While in France, Bean gets into all sorts of trouble, from getting his tie stuck in a vending machine to ordering a seafood platter by mistake. About to get on the train, Bean asks a stranger to camcord him walking onto the train which takes about 4 takes. When he's finally done, Bean gets onto the train but the doors close on the stranger. Bean learns that the strangers son is still on board and takes it upon himself to care for the child until he reunites with his father. there is a funny "Busking scene" when Bean and the boy have to make money. This film isn't as good as the first movie or the series but it will put a smile on your face if you choose to see it. i give it a solid 7/10.

The outlandish titled character (Rowan Atkinson) returns after a 10-year hiatus for this laugh-out-loud comedy. This time our hero wins a ticket to Cannes in France. Just wanting to go to the beach, Atkinson is totally oblivious of the International Film Festival that is taking place there. Thus there are crazy circumstances aplenty with a lovely French actress (the illuminating Emma de Caunes), a pompous American superstar (played superbly by the Willem Dafoe), and a young boy (Max Baldry) who Atkinson unwittingly separated from his parents. "Mr. Bean's Holiday" is one of the best fair films I have ever seen. I really like the movie, but I am a fan of the character Atkinson portrays so well and also of the original television series from Britain which ran sporadically in the late-1980s and early-1990s. With all this said, typical audiences could get little to nothing out of a production like this. Much like "Bean" way back in 1997, the tone is uneven and the translation from television to cinema is hit and miss at best. I like "Mr. Bean's Holiday", but critically I would be lying if I said it is better than average. 2.5 out of 5 stars.
