Fun and funny Mr Bean movie in which Rowan Atkinson shines with his familiar material
It is an amusing set-up with plenty of room of hilarious set pieces , including ridiculous situations, continuous jokes and absurd humor. The laughs and disconcerting events have a variable strike rate and there are times when you feel that everyone's just treading water before the next big set piece . Rowan Atkinson proves is on peak form , showing a great skill on the hilarous public spectacle , as he plays to save the most surprising situations. The theme about a strange man who wreaks all around in a strange land is quite fun , too. Atkinson proves himself a master of the almost lost art of slapstick comedy . Rowan Atkinson is well accompanied by a good support cast , such as : Peter MacNicol as the American curator who invites hilm to stay at his home , much to dismay his wife : Patricia Reed and children : Andrew Lawrence , Tricia Vessey , the veteran John Mills as Chairman , Harris Yulin , Burt Reynolds , Larry Drake , Johnny Galecki , Chris Ellis , Dakin Matthews , Peter Egan , Sandra Oh , Peter Capaldi among others .
Mr Bean Tv series enjoyed worldwide syndication. Being the first : short Mr Bean Bus stop 1991, following Mr Bean series 90-95. A film : Bean 1997 by Mel Smith with Rowan Atkinson, Peter MacNicol, Pamela Reed, Harris Yulin . Mr Bean's wedding, Mr Bean : Funeral short. Mr Bean, the animated series formed by 105 episodes, Hundy Bean and TV shorts 2018-2020. Furthermore, a similar character as a butcher spy in 3 films : Johnny English, Johnny reborn and Jonny English strikes again. In addition, Rowan Atkinson has played serious role as Inspector Maigret in TV movies as : Maigret ln Montmartre, Maigret's night at the crossroads, Maigret's dead man, Maigret sets a trap. This Bean movie contains a lively and catching musical score by Howard Goodall , as well as colorful and evocative cinematography . This amusing motion picture produced by Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner , Richard Curtis , Peter Bennett-Jones , Rowan Atkinson himself and was well directed by Mel Smith .
Highly Recommended for PMT and Bad Mood Days
Title (Brazil): ` Mr. Bean O Filme' (`Mr. Bean The Movie')
God, I LOVED this movie!!!!!!!!!!!!
British farce at its finest!
"Bean" is about the infamous Mr.Bean, a lazy buffoon who manages to cause problems in even the simplest of tasks. In this movie, he works at an Art Gallery and the management desperately want to get rid of him. Rather than fire him, they send him to Los Angeles to unveil the painting, "Whistler's Mother". An American named David Langley allows Mr.Bean to stay in his house during his visit against the will of his family. This turns out to be a huge mistake.
This movie is roll-out-of-your-chair-laughing funny. Rowan Atkinson's acting is beyond excellent, and all of the other characters are good as well.
The only thing I can find to nitpick about this movie is that there is not a very strong plot. The movie is basically a line of connected humor skits. I personally do not mind this too much, but if you are looking for a movie with a story that can be made into a book, look elsewhere.
If you enjoyed the Mr.Bean series and like "disaster" movies, this is the perfect movie for you!
Great movie
Did you know
- TriviaThe producers were initially looking for an unknown actor to play General Newton. But being a fan of Mr. Bean (1990), Burt Reynolds asked for a role, and was then cast to appear as Newton.
- GoofsWhen Bean is standing alone in front of Whistler's Mother for the first time, he places his hands on his hips, which reveals his microphone transmitter.
- Quotes
Mr. Bean: Well, hello. I'm Dr Bean. Apparently. And... and my job is to sit and look at paintings.
[applause]
Mr. Bean: Um... so... um... what have I learnt that I can say about this painting? Um... well, firstly, it's quite big, which is excellent. Because if it was really small, you know, microscopic, then hardly anybody would be able to see it, which would be a tremendous shame. Um, secondly... and I'm getting quite near the end now of this analysis of this painting... secondly... why was it worth this man here spending fifty million of your American dollars on this portrait? And the answer is... um... well... this picture is worth such a lot of money because... it's a picture... of Whistler's mother. And, as I've learnt by staying with my best friend, David Langley and his family, families are very important. And even though Mr Whistler was perfectly aware that his mother was a hideous old bat who looked like she had a cactus lodged up her backside, he stuck with her, and even took the time to paint this amazing picture of her. It's not just a painting. It's a picture of a mad old cow who he thought the world of. And that's marvellous. That's what I think.
