Plot: Mr. Bean -- the stick-legged goofball man-child created by Rowan Atkinson on television in the early '90s, and in the 1997 feature Bean -- undertakes his second cinematic adventure in the comic romp Mr. Bean's Holiday. Growing thoroughly sick of the wet, cold, and clammy London weather, Mr. Bean (Atkinson) finds just the right tonic when he wins a trip to sunny southern France, all expenses paid, with a new digital video camera to accompany him. However, he runs headfirst into a series of outrageous and unpleasant situations, such as winding up in a French restaurant where a maître d’ (Jean Rochefort) convinces him to eat bizarre varieties of seafood that he's never before encountered, and discovering that the Very Fast Train certainly lives up to its name. Eventually, Mr. Bean (accompanied by a Russian traveling companion whom he meets along his journey) stumbles onto the French Riviera and spoils the latest movie production of snobbish, egomaniacal filmmaker Carson Clay (Willem Dafoe) -- little realizing that his own klutzy video footage will accidentally end up in Clay's film and be screened at the upcoming {~Cannes Film Festival}. Unlike the first big-screen incarnation of Atkinson's character, Mr. Bean's Holiday adheres more closely to the formula of the original series by rendering the character almost completely mute. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

On my list of one of the funniest movies. It's real sweet, too. Good fun for children, tweens, teens, and adults. Mr. Bean is hilarious.

Not hilarious that's for sure!

You try hard to laugh at this film but many times it doesn't work! However I have to say the few funny scenes are quite hilarious.

Very silly and clumsy Mr. Bean wins a trip to Cannes in a lottery, only to go through many silly adventures that are mostly not funny at all.

I think this movie is best enjoyed by Kids, not adults.

How much you'll enjoy "Mr. Bean's Holiday" will depend in large part on your tolerance for Rowan Atkninson, a rubber-faced comedian who, with his broad physical humor and near-wordless pantomime, harkens back - in style if not in quality - to the silent greats like Chaplin, Keaton, Langdon, etc.

In this installment, the British Mr. Bean wins the top prize in a local raffle - an all-expenses-paid trip to the French Riviera. The movie chronicles the havoc he leaves in his wake both on the way to his destination and in the South of France itself, culminating in a major ruckus at the Cannes Film Festival, no less (this is the best part of the movie, actually).

The problem is that none of it really plays very well as comedy. After what feels like the longest credit sequence in motion picture history, Mr. Bean launches into a French restaurant bit that Lucille Ball had already done to perfection fifty years earlier. Things don't get much better from that point on, as Bean races from one pratfall-ridden disaster to another throughout the course of the movie. And, when all else fails, the filmmakers throw a hapless youngster - a boy who gets accidentally separated from his father at a train station - into the mix to turn this into Atkinson's own version of "The Kid."

Mr. Bean may be funny to some, but to me he's just annoying and creepy - the visual equivalent of nails on a chalkboard perhaps. The grunting and groaning and monosyllabic muttering become unendurable over time, and the constant facial twitching and mugging for the camera don't do much to endear us to the character - or to the performer, for that matter - either.

As a source of laughter, this Bean character is certainly an acquired taste and I'm perfectly willing to concede that there is something in all this labored farce that I simply don`t relate to. To each his own, I suppose.

Classic Mr. Bean!

This movie is Mr. Bean at his best! Max Baldry and Emma de Caunes compliment Rowan Atkinson perfectly. Anyone who thinks sight comedy is dead should definitely view this production!
