Mr Bean's Holiday (DVD) ... Pictures UK / Features of the DVD: PAL / It’s taken a long time for Rowan Atkinson to bring us Mr Bean’s Holiday, the sequel to the substantial hit of 1997. But in that time, he’s lost none of what made the character so huge in the first place, delivering an effective comedy that’s again managed to ignite box offices right across the world. The set-up for Mr Bean’s Holiday is in the title: the hapless title character wins a holiday to France, meaning this time it’s the French Riviera that’s the backdrop for the slapstick humour that has defined the series. And so Mr Bean finds himself in a series of increasingly unlikely situations, causing all manner of havoc in the process. While unlikely to convert anyone who isn’t already a fan, Mr Bean’s Holiday is nonetheless a comedy that delivers reliable laughs very much in the spirit of what has gone before. Atkinson continues to inhabit the character with great skill, and it’s--rightly--his work here that brings the lion’s share of the laughs. By most accounts, Mr Bean’s Holiday is the swansong for a character that’s manage to delight audiences worldwide for over a quarter of a century. And while the film is, truthfully, no classic, at its peak it’s a hoot, and offers gentle, enjoyable family entertainment. --Jon Foster

Newest Review: ... as they are. Nevertheless, we saw one fairly underwhelming film involving the character in 1997 with Bean, but here we get ... more

 ... something a little fresher, as Bean heads to France in what is reportedly going to be the final entry into his adventures. Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson) wins a trip to Cannes, where obviously, the Cannes film festival is taking place, and he documents his antics with a trusty video camera. He bumps into Emil Dachevsky (Karel Roden) in due course, who is both a film critic and member of the Cannes jury, but when Bean and Dachevsky's son, Stepan (Max Baldry) board the train, his dad is unable to get on, and so the two are lef...more

Premium Review Mr Bean's Holiday (DVD): BEAN! (988 words)

There's something about Mr. Bean that is very family friendly, I suppose it could be down to the most violent thing he has ever done is slam his yellow mini door or cut off someones poney tail in a hairdressing mix-up, or it could just be that the silent character brings everyone together in a humerous fashion. I sat down to watch Mr Bean's Holiday the other weekend, and as I was much younger when I saw his first Hollywood outing I wasn't sure what to expect - I remember liking the first movie, and if the movie saw a combination of some of his greatest sketches then it should have been a big hit for me. With my mum coming in and out of the room every now and again, it ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Not Mr. Bean's finest moment (437 words)

Mr. Bean is a well-known character played by Rowan Atkinson which he first portrayed in a television comedy series and then a film based on his exploits looking after a painting going to the United States. In this film Mr. Bean goes on holiday to France. I'll start this film by saying that I personally found it a disappointment. My sense of humour normally works well with films such as this, but I found this film suffers from some well known comedies when they write a series of humorous scenes and then try and link them all together. Ultimately the film feels dis-jointed and confused. The plot of the film is that Mr. Bean wins a holiday to France, ...  Read the complete review

Crowned Review Mr Bean's Holiday (DVD): Bored of Bean (572 words)

Mr Bean wins a holiday to the sun kissed beaches of the South of France in a Church raffle. As he blunders his way towards his destination he meets a French boy who, unwittingly gets seperated from his father. Can Mr Bean get this boy to Cannes to re-unite him with his father and still find his way to his dream destination? As you can see the plot to "Mr Bean's Holiday" is hardly Shakespeare. In fact it is as shallow as any of the iconic character's many television episodes and in essence, this is all "Mr Bean's Holiday" is. As an extenuation of a television series that was short but often hilariously sweet, this is a film that is ...  Read the complete review

I’m not sure that I’ve ever liked Mr. Bean. I like Richard Curtis and I like Rowan Atkinson and I loved their collaboration that gave birth to the Blackadder franchise. Mr. Bean though.....hmmmmm.....maybe the episodes featuring the teddy bear? Then again, I’ll always love that sketch set on an airplane when Bean is trying to cheer up an airsick boy but as he leans away to reach for something, the boy is discreetly sick into the paper bag that the funny man has been playing around with. As he gets up again, Mr. Bean with goofy expression, pops the bag and.....well....the rest is history! Mr. Bean is something of an institution and children adore his antics so when my ...  Read the complete review

What’s it about? -------------------- Mr Bean wins a raffle at a church fete. His prize: a trip to France and a video camera. Who’s in it? ---------------- Rowan Atkinson re-appears as Mr Bean, the hapless idiot who causes chaos wherever he goes. Like much else, Atkinson seems to have become a little lazy in the ten years since Bean was released. Whereas the first film portrayed Bean as someone who was always doing silly things, here Atkinson relies too much on pulling silly faces or moving in a strange way to get laughs. Even by the standards of physical comedy, it looks tired. At times he looks like he is just going through the motions, ...  Read the complete review
