Eric Stevenson I've seen two, maybe three episodes of "Mr. Bean", so I'm certainly not a fan. This movie features Mr. Bean going on holiday to France. I admit that I'll probably never get used to that "on holiday" term. I'm just not British! This film was just alright for me. I wish that it had focused more on comedy and was less serious.I do like the actors in this movie. It's just that there really isn't anything too special about this film. There's so much better and worse stuff out there. I do really like the ending however, when it all comes together and it's pleasant enough. It's completely harmless with nothing offensive at all. It's just not enough to recommend. **1/2

J-M I don't know why this only has 6.3. Sure maybe not like the originals, but still really funny. It doesn't need to be like the 1990's to be funny. I laughed so freaking hard when i saw this. So for something be funny, it doesn't have to be like the originals. I mean both the originals and this Mr. Bean's holiday are good. The one Mr. Bean movie I did not like was Bean. That was awful. I mean it could have been a really funny movie, but it contained sexual jokes that or not good OR FUNNY!! So, if your trying to decide a good family comedy watch Mr. Bean's holiday! It is filled with laughs! I guarantee if you are a Mr. Bean fan there is no way you will not like this film.

SnoopyStyle Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson) wins a church raffle for a vacation trip to the south of France and a camcorder. This allows him to cause havoc in an another country. He accidentally separates Emil and his son Stepan. Emil is a movie critic going to Cannes as Film Festival jury member. Bean and Stepan are together when Bean lose their tickets, wallet and documents. They get thrown off the train and have to find their way to Cannes themselves.Bean is normally more selfish and obnoxious. The movie pairs him up with a kid and he becomes a good-hearted bumbling fool. The humor becomes a lot lighter. The chances were that Bean would have trouble staying funny for the longer duration. This light stuff has a lot of difficulties maintaining any comic intensity. Also the kid should probably be a bit younger to get more of the cute factor. Nevertheless, there are some fun bits that make this a worthwhile watch for fans of the TV character.

Theo Robertson Coming out ten years after the original Bean feature film a lot of water has passed under a lot of bridges , so much so that you may have forgotten just how successful the original film was . If it was a case of milking cash cows then in the preceding ten years we might have had five sequels within in that time . That said it's pretty obvious that Atkinson , Curtiss and co haven't been spending ten years developing this screenplay but it's functional . The problem is that comedy isn't a natural genre for feature length hence we get a rather episodic choppy feel to this film as Mr Bean takes a trip to the French Riviera and finds himself caught up in a loosely plotted story that eventually sees him end up at the Cannes film festival . The jokes come thick and fast and are very hit and miss but I often found myself smiling at the situations even though I was more than capable of working out what the pay off to the jokes were going to be . The highlight of the film is Willem Dafoe as Carson Clay , an egocentric and pretentious film maker and perhaps with hindsight we could have seen a bit more of his feature film " Without you I am nothing , nothing , nothing . Everday I'm reminded of my life without you , Empty , there is nothing , nothing , nothing " Hardly a classic piece of comedy cinema MR BEAN'S HOLIDAY is engaging enough to pass the time
