Amazon.co.uk Review
Translating Rowan Atkinson's Mr Bean character from British television to the big screen takes a bit of a toll, but there are some hilarious sequences in this popular comedy. The eponymous Bean, a boy-man twit with a knack for getting into difficult binds (and then making them worse and worse and worse), is a London museum guard who is sent to Los Angeles in the company of the famous painting Whistler's Mother. He's mistaken as an art expert by the well-meaning curator (Peter MacNicol) of an LA museum, but Bean's famously eccentric behaviour soon causes the poor guy to almost lose his family and job. The insularity of Bean's TV world is sacrificed in this film, and that change diminishes some of the character's appeal. But Atkinson is a man naturally full of comedy, and he doesn't let his fans down. --Tom Keogh

Synopsis
In his big-screen debut, the bumbling, barely verbal Mr. Bean lands in Los Angeles, where he has been sent to "guard" Whistler's Mother as it changes hands between the London National Art Gallery and a chic private gallery. Absurd laughs from the hilarious Atkinson.

Customer Reviews

Mr Bean is great
I enjoyed this quite a lot but it is not as good as the new one when he goes to France. The best bit is when he fiddles with the controls on the ride. Highly recommended.

Bean is Usually a near silent character
Don't get me wrong here , this movie is absolutely hilarious in some parts , but half of those parts were taken from the TV - series and recycled again into this movie.

though the all concept of the movie was original and played well by all the actors. this time very much unlike the series the producers decided to add Bean character accept from the jokes and laughs also human feeling , so the movie is also very touching in some parts .

So in this movie we get to see a human Bean , that have feeling and emotions just like everybody else , he also talk a lot during the hour and a half film , something we didn't see him do a lot during the series , which there he was more like a character in a silent movie.

Hilarious!
I have to say, i am so glad they bought a full length movie out with Rowan Atkinson. As usual, he is quite funny in this movie. It's rather different to the TV series, obviously because those were not movies. But this is well worth watching, it is a definate family movie! Hilarious/fun/superb!
