Mr. Bean's Holiday (2007)

Such a frustrating disappointment

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Best movie of this year hands down!

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Mr. Bean wins a trip to Cannes where he unwittingly separates a young boy from his father and must help the two come back together. On the way he discovers France, bicycling, and true love, among other things. Rowan Atkinson's Mr. Bean is back and this time he is better than ever, teaming up with a woman and a child who "lost" his father in a train station, the goofs are relentless and more than enough and trust me the humor works 100% especially some of the scenes with him and the camera or Dafoe's cameo were incredible funny but remember it's not for all viewers and i'm not talking about the jokes or the character himself but the overall movie as it is. (10/10)

The movie was as much as necessary when I watched it back then on TV; the only fault I have for this movie? Losing personal belongings. To my way of thinking of this cliché, I don't like specific films on account of the protagonist losing his / her personal belongings, because you never know if he / she gets them back. I would have loved to see an additional post-credits scene where Mr Bean inexplicably gets all of his personal belongings back and returns to civilization, but that never happened. I would have given the movie a plus, if that were to happen. Overall, humdrum little movie.

Rowan Atkinson's curtain call as Mr. Bean seems like it should've happened ten years ago. There's nothing fundamentally wrong with this movie, really, but it does often feel empty and spacious, like we're all just going through the motions one last time. There's a requisite number of repackaged old skits from the character's long history, interspersed within a lightly curvy, family-friendly plot. Bean's awkward natural charisma is still in attendance, despite his curmudgeonly exterior, and he plays well alongside his two costars: a nearly-mute foreign boy and a stunning French beauty. The language barrier plays well into both relationships, as many of the masthead characters' best adventures play like a silent film. It's fine, I guess, and it certainly entertained my two young boys (we've watched it dozens of times since it went up for streaming on Netflix) but there's nothing remotely essential in here and I doubt I'll remember any of it in a few weeks' time.

This is the kind of movie you'd watch with your family or children at a nice weekend afternoon , knowing that the movie will be amusing, funny and capturing from the start to the very end ! Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson) is that kind of a funny, talented, enriched & spontaneous character we will never get bored of , no matter how old we are.I think the highlight of the movie is Bean's own performance , the dances , the query facial expressions & the unintended mess he puts himself through.Have fun with this light movie !
