Seul face au bébé

In my opinion, this is classic Rowan and classic Christmas short story, considering his age and reputation (far from Black Adder, much closer to Bean's trip to America). Nice if you like these kind of movies/series. All sparkling, fancy, modern, but still soft story with, of course, happy ending with everybody happy and laughing. Nice for family watching.

Rowan Atkinson remains undeniably charming, delivering a very gentle brand of comedy here. However, it feels like Netflix is increasingly sacrificing quality for quantity. While the show managed to elicit a few chuckles, the storyline was incredibly thin. Ultimately, my enjoyment was rooted almost entirely in nostalgia rather than the plot.

It is one of those works that people watch because of one person. This is the power of Rowan Atkinson that can attract the audience. Rowan Atkinson proved that smoke still rises from the log and can still play good comedies. The series has an interesting narrative and can make the audience laugh with different situations, and I think it is satisfying for a fun series and a short comedy. The strength of the series is Rowan Atkinson, and it is very difficult to imagine another person in his place. The idea and way of telling the story has improved from the previous series and has managed to cover some of the weaknesses of the previous series, but it still has various weaknesses, including characterization and script. Ultimately, it is a series for family gatherings and holidays that reminds us of the good old days. I hope Rowan Atkinson, or our own Mr. Bean, will work more because he still has the potential to make the audience laugh.

Yes it's predictable, yes it's absurd, yes you have to suspend disbelief and no it's not as good as man vs bee. But it's still a good Christmas film for all members of the family especially the nippers.

CGI on the baby is a bit wonky, but you can get past that and just enjoy the hijinks. I'll admit I did get angry at 1 point because of obvious and annoying decisions Trevor makes, but I think everything else makes up for it.

Defo stick with it until the end.

Obviously (like me), these are Americans that are having such a negative reaction to Rowan's particular style of comedy ( notice I did not put comedy in quotes, lol) (because obviously it's legitimate comedy, and that's the point) but it IS comedy and it's also a sweet holiday message - look, I take your point but real talk, just turn it off if your not enjoying it? Right?
