Synopsis

Childlike Englishman, Mr. Bean, is an incompetent watchman at the Royal National Gallery. After the museum's board of directors' attempt to have him fired is blocked by the chairman, who has taken a liking to Bean, they send him to Los Angeles to act as their ambassador for the unveiling of a historic painting to humiliate him. Fooled, Mr. Bean must now successfully unveil the painting or risk his and a hapless Los Angeles curator's termination.

Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
leplatypus Before watching it, I was not convinced that for his 1st movie, Bean the Briton by nature should go to America? Now that I watched it, I'm not more convinced but it can be at least explained if we consider it as a remake for American market. We have already a example with the french comedy « Just visiting » : the original movie is very funny but too much french so American producers shot it again in America with the same cast as to please American audience !!! Here it's a bit the same thing as in a way, the movie is really loose and it's more about tying several mini Bean moments together ! Thus the story is not really convincing and American cast is not really interesting ! However the movie manages to make me laugh very often and very much and in this time, it was really enjoyable to have fun like this ! So in a way, it's at the same level and with the same feelings as the aforementioned « just visiting » !
Ross622 Based on the British sitcom of the same name when it was a true success in America when the movie version of Mel Smith's 1997 film based on the show with the same leading man turned out to stupid as can be. I mean the movie was not even funny during any scene and as well as making me not want to laugh with it, it was Smith's directorship that made me want to laugh at the movie. The only performance that was good was by the brief performance by Burt Reynolds that made me give the movie 2 stars instead of 1 star out of 10. The main reason why I think that this movie shouldn't have been made in the first place is because it was the director Mel Smith and the star to the movie that made made the movie just plain terrible especially because of his over the top performance.
FilmBuff1994 Bean is a good movie with a decent storyline and a very good comedic cast.It certainly isn't the comedy gold that the television series is but it's still very enjoyable and you will laugh out loud a lot.My biggest problem was that Mr Bean spoke too much in this movie, he's suppose to be a silent character who myth say a few words every now and again,but in this he actually has full lines and even a while speech at one stage.Rowan Atkinson did do his best as Mr Bean and delivered plenty of solid laughs and I really liked Peter MacNicol as well as the voice of reason.The movie is very different to the television series and fans will definitely be disappointed,but if you really enjoy watching Rowan Atkinson play Mr Bean in any aspect then you should definitely check out Bean. Mr Bean heads to Los Angeles to return a famous painting from a museum in England back to America.He stays with a family that he breaks up with his own stupidity without even realizing.
WakenPayne Mr Bean, Rowan Atkinson's most iconic role. There was clearly going to be a movie because the child-like antics of the character clearly was popular enough. In my eyes it doesn't translate well to the screen but this is certainly worth a watch.The plot of this movie is that Mr Bean (of ALL people!) is asked to present a speech on Whistler's portrait of his mother in America. The person who is curating also has the idea to have him stay with his family.So the plot is extremely thin. If you've seen the show you might know what to expect. I enjoyed Rowan Atkinson as Mr Bean and everyone does their absolute best but there are a few complaints.Firstly. Mr Bean is a character that relies on pure physical comedy and not really that much else. His child-like antics are okay to watch for 30 minutes but this is nearly 90 minutes. It does get tiring after a while.Aside from that this is not that bad. It isn't anything special but it isn't unwatchable either. If you like the TV show then this is certainly worth a try.
