This movie has a lot of bean series, is just Mr. Bean in action, but it has a few differences, it's a movie and is not the same like the series. Anyway it's a great movie and you can enjoy a lot.
 The British Bean Series Is Better! May 7, 2005
3 out of 6 found this review helpful
I agree with Danno in that the Bean series is actually very funny and Rowan Atkinson is hilarious in the bits he did in the series but this theatrical movie is nowhere near as good as the series and well it just wsan't funny at all and was actually kind of boring and both Rowan Atkinson and Peter McNicol (who I also like) were totally wasted in this. I actually watched this movie before I saw the Bean series and if I hadn't accidently viewed episodes of Bean that got taped on a video where I had recorded another program and this came on afer it I would never had watched it because of the movie so I am glad it was on the tape and I saw how much better it is!
 Mr. Bean's Hilarious; This Movie Isn't January 17, 2005

Rowan Atkinson is, without a doubt, one of Britain's funniest comedians. His "Mr. Bean" series, available on DVD, presents Atkinson's perfectly modern British update of classic silent physical clowns like Keaton, Lloyd, Chaplin, and Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. Mr. Bean himself is a mischievious creature who, like a little boy, is prone to both extreme malevolence as well as extreme silliness. He's an unforgettable character, and Atkinson devised several extremely clever skits to showcase this. The "Mr. Bean" boxed set is brilliant.
"Bean," however, is a mistake. If you love Mr.Bean, skip directly to the last third of the film in which the director finally allows Atkinson to be himself and make the audience laugh. The rest of the film is a poorly conceived attempt to meld Mr. Bean's cartoonlike persona to a standard American-style family comedy. The plot and flat production values kept reminding me of the low budget comedies of the 1980s that wound up being shown on HBO every Saturday afternoon. The basic idea of the film is a sound one - the famous painting "Whistler's Mother" is being transported to the USA and Bean, through a misunderstanding, is sent with it as an "art expert."
Throughout the first two-thirds of the film, Bean sticks out like a sore thumb. In much the same way that MGM insisted that the Marx Brothers and Laurel and Hardy soften up their humor, every attempt is made to change Mr. Bean from a trickster into a well-meaning oddball who only wants to help his bland co-stars find happiness. On the TV series, Bean gets himself into trouble because he is trying to do things "correctly" whereas here he gets himself into trouble trying to help. It's funny watching pratfalls when they backfire on the person doing them; it's not as funny when the pratfalls have consequences on other characters.
Younger children will enjoy this movie, as most of the comedy is age-appropriate. But true Mr. Bean fans will be as disappointed as I.
 A Great One! January 9, 2005

This movie was exactly what I would expect from Rowan. Supporting cast play well into their characters. There are even some tender moments for those who need this in a comedy flick.
Mr. Bean pulls off this farce to stuffy LA Art Critics in grand fashion.
It also shows us that even the unthought of underdogs can too, have their day in the sun.
This will also make you want your PBS Station purchase the series The Thin Blue Line. Rowan was fantastic in this British Police Comedy.
If you need a good laugh get this in any version. I won't give any more away --- just buy it!
Bean is very bean-y! September 5, 2004
