Product Description
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 vacation to the French Riviera. But during his train journey to the south of France he falls face first into a series of mishaps and fortunate coincidences all of which are caught on camera and far-fetched enough to ensure his own makeshift entry into the Cannes Film Festival! Mr. Bean's Holiday is "an irresistible comedy for the whole family!" (Shawn Edwards FOX-TV)System Requirements:Running Time: 90 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY/SLAPSTICK Rating: G UPC: 025193333124 Manufacturer No: 61033331

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

 Perfect Comedy May 16, 2008
I am not a Mr. Bean's Fan. But this movie is irresistible. Funny, entertaining, and original. It is about Mr. Bean's efforts to get to his destination for a holiday. Of course nothing goes well. Except the comedy.
The Ultimate Bean May 8, 2008
For Mr. Bean fans, this is the ultimate Bean movie. As usual, Mr. Bean's lack of what society would call appropriate responses to life's foibles earns him the respect of the most unlikely of characters and lands him in clover by the end of the film. Some of the situations he is faced with, and his reactions and plans to fix things are just too funny. And of course, there is Mr. Bean's enchanting childlike forge-ahead with a happy heart aura. There is one scene in the middle of the movie that is worth the entire BEAN!! I cannot give this away as it would ruin it, but suffice it to say it takes place in a marketplace and involves street theatre. When I saw this movie in the theatrical release, this scene alone almost made me wet my pants - and I wasn't alone. Willem DeFoe does a wonderful turn at satirizing the whole Cannes festival cachet. And Rowan Atkinson entrenches himself even more firmly as one of today's most gifted comedians/actors. This is a classic! Don't miss it.
Love him or hate him! April 30, 2008
Mr. Bean is AWESOME! This is by far the funniest movie I've seen in a long time. My whole family loves this movie - and it's REALLY clean. I would definitely suggest it to anyone with a sense of humor - but if you're easily annoyed then you might want to steer clear. Love him or hate him, Mr. Bean is the funniest man to step on a train. Or spill coffee. Or eat seafood. Or...
Excellent! April 27, 2008
A vast improvement over the first Bean film. Everything about this movie made me smile. I loved that the Cannes Film Festival allowed, with such glee, the parody of Cannes, and the various celebrity bits were fun.
But all that aside, it's Mister Bean!
 Dont be fooled!...its an OK film...nothing more March 26, 2008

Can't see how this is an "improvement" to the first, its still dull and has some, not all, the same old, same old funny skits from his TV show, however, there were some parts that were funny. Now, i will agree, it has put some new stuff in the movie and they have cut down the "old skits from TV show" a tad..but, its still there no matter how you see it, and you will see an "old skit" you already seen on his TV show..nothing new..again!. I was hoping for "redemption" from the first film..but all i got was disappointment. Stick to his first film, that one (even as dull and dry as it was) was at least a tad funnier than this one. This is a rental at best!
