Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
I wanted to but couldn't!
Best movie ever!
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
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.
Rowan Atkinson's curtain call as Mr. Bean seems like it should've happened ten years ago. There's nothing fundamentally wrong with this movie, really, but it does often feel empty and spacious, like we're all just going through the motions one last time. There's a requisite number of repackaged old skits from the character's long history, interspersed within a lightly curvy, family-friendly plot. Bean's awkward natural charisma is still in attendance, despite his curmudgeonly exterior, and he plays well alongside his two costars: a nearly-mute foreign boy and a stunning French beauty. The language barrier plays well into both relationships, as many of the masthead characters' best adventures play like a silent film. It's fine, I guess, and it certainly entertained my two young boys (we've watched it dozens of times since it went up for streaming on Netflix) but there's nothing remotely essential in here and I doubt I'll remember any of it in a few weeks' time.
Not the best Bean, but still a fun movie. Rowan Atkinson is one of the all time greats in physical comedy. While the movie is not quite as ridiculous as other Bean stuff and comes off as a bit weak compared to most of it, this movie was filmed in lovely locations and is unexpectedly heartwarming, which makes up for some of its shortcomings. This is a pretty soft way to introduce the Bean character to people who might otherwise be resistant to slapstick. Just tell them this one is filmed in gorgeous France, so they can enjoy the beautiful scenery if nothing else--it's a true statement and if you're lucky it will function like a gateway drug to the harder and better Bean stuff.
I saw this movie for the first time back in 2008, I believe. I don't remember too much from this feature, but I can attest that it was very entertaining and enjoyable when I watched it.As the IMDb plot outline puts it, Mr. Bean (Roman Atkinson) wins a trip to Cannes, where he separates a young boy from his father, unintentionally. Therefore, he must reunite the two, while also engaged in an adventurous journey of heading to the Cannes Film Festival.This film has a lot of slapstick humor, but tasteful enough that in a way it does not get borderline annoying and over-the-top. It's great fun and I would certainly recommend this film to any comedy lovers.Grade B+
