 Mr. Bean in Cannes! October 28, 2007
Nathan Knight (Berkeley, CA)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is the first Rowan Atkinson footage I have seen and I found it funnier than his television series which I just saw, although he does incorporate some of the same situations. Laugh out loud funny! One note, much of this film is in a foregin language either French and a little bit of Russian. I plan to get this movie when it comes out on DVD. C'est tres drole! *****

CRITICS TAKE THIS MOVIE TOO SERIOUSLY September 11, 2007
T. L. Harlan (Fort Meade, MD)
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
If you read the critiques of this latest Bean movie (his French vacation) by Amazon's "Thorn Hill at the Movies" from Venice, CA and Jenny J.J., the New Yorker in Florida, you will immediately notice two things:
First, both of these critics are very intelligent and really know the art of film making. They both wrote lengthy reviews explaining why, in detail, Rowan Atkinson and his cast will never be nominated for an Oscar for this movie.
And the second thing that will immediately be obvious to you, if you read the other reviews from the people who laughed so hard they spit their popcorn all over the theater floor, is that they missed the point of the whole movie.
This was not supposed to be a deeply moving life-changing theatrical event to catch the attention of the Academy Awards. This was the same old crazy, dumber than "Dumb and Dumber" Mr. Bean up to his same old zaney antics and bufoonery!
You either like it or you don't. You either find him funny or you don't.
Most of the people in the theater I was at found the movie hillarious. But then, most of them were not Hollywood trained critics. (And frankly, I can't vouch for their IQ level either!)
One thing is clear, though: This is definitely the best made of all Rowan Atkinson's films.
The best bean ever September 11, 2007

This is the best Bean ever made. It is a very special, beautiful roadmovie, it makes you smile, giggle and laugh, it touches your heart, it makes you admire its beauty... it is slapstick with romance... it is romance with humor... it is great cinema. Rowan Atkinson is better than ever, his Mr. Bean has reached the Olympus of art. Peter Sellers, Sir Charles Chaplin and Buster Keaton will love him. But... Mr. Bean is alive and well.
Thank you, Rown Atkinson!
Thank you gvery much for this great movie!

 [3.5]--Bean Back on the Big Screen September 4, 2007
Jenny J.J.I. (That Lives in Northern Nevada)
3 out of 11 found this review helpful
It has been quite some time since the world last saw Bean, but was a return truly necessary? Unfortunately the answer is No! The film is highly appealing to a young audience and you may find yourself laughing your heart out, but in the long run, you shall leave the theater unchanged and possibly even forgetting the past hour and a half.
Story and sense is rarely a comedy's forte, and Bean doesn't try to be one of those few comedies which attempt at doing so. Actually, in its attempts to try and create a story out of nothing, the film falls flat on its face. The main "plot" is Bean trying to get to Cannes after a tweaked lottery win. Obviously, extremely predictable delays and obstacles ensue, and it's these delays which make up most of the film. Along the road, Bean teams up with a boy who has lost his father and they both try to reach Cannes together.
Rowan Atkinson may have gone down in cinema legend for his show stopping comedy performances, but in this film he seems lost and without a proper script and a dictionary consisting of approximately 6 words, I'm afraid to say that his charm is beginning to wear off. Nevertheless, credit is still due, because I doubt that there is any other actor capable of pulling off his antics with the same amount of innocence and credibility. The boy, whose name is Stepan, is played by Max Baldry and whilst he handles his role relatively well. Willem Defoe may curse the day he committed himself to this film, but his inclusion is essential and he managed to have me roaring with laughter most of the time. It may be a bit of a career low, but I doubt his minimal role shall actually be remembered. The only female role in the film was that of Sabine, by Emma De Caunes, and I am in two minds about her. On one hand, she has charm and she silently steals the spotlight.
In terms of sets and cinema magic, the film sinks rock bottom, and it constantly looks like a mediocre road movie. The fact that a video camera is commonly used may also bother the viewer. However, with all these shortcomings, the film still shines thanks to Bean and his crazy doings. They may seem ridiculous on paper, but in motion they are pure genius. This might not be the best of Bean but his facial expressions and his unforgettable voice plugs up some of the holes.
