Childlike Englishman, Mr. Bean, is an incompetent watchman at the Royal National Gallery. After the museum's board of directors' attempt to have him fired is blocked by the chairman, who has taken a liking to Bean, they send him to Los Angeles to act as their ambassador for the unveiling of a historic painting to humiliate him. Fooled, Mr. Bean must now successfully unveil the painting or risk his and a hapless Los Angeles curator's termination.

What a funny movie by Mr.Bean! I have to say that the movie was classic, though the plot is too adventurous, Mr.Bean was force to be a scholar for the upcoming painting "Whistler's Mother" , as usual, some disaster will defintely happen if Bean was around. Classic!
"Bean" was a huge part of my childhood. I'd watch it almost as much as "Mrs. Doubtfire" so I'm going to be extremely bias in my opinions. Sorry. We all know that Mr.Bean is a love it or hate it character (how could anyone hate?) I for one, LOVE Mr.Bean and find his farcical, childish and downright simple behaviour absolutely hilarious. We all know that doing a film based on a TV series isn't always such a great idea too, but here "Bean" absolutely pulls it off. The only thing wrong with the film is that is simply isn't long enough. Watching all the fantastic deleted scenes devastates me that they didn't include them in."Bean" is one hilarious sequence after another, with actually a surprisingly great plot and some nice character development on the Langley family. Frankly is you the handkerchief scene doesn't make you laugh (eat you heart out Othello!) or even the drying the wet patch scene and the scene after that, then you know that Mr.Bean is not for you. The idea of Mr.Bean destroying America's greatest painting is a stroke of genius and it really is a hilarious sight to behold, as well as conveying a feeling of absolute disastrous terror! "Bean" also has a really fantastic sweeping score that I think deserves to have been Oscar-nominated! Rowan Atkinson also puts on another faultless performance as the character, and whilst the film isn't exactly perfect, it's still an absolutely hilarious and entertaining farce that flies by. So please don't get all superficial about "Bean" because it does exactly what it sets out to do.
I saw this and could not stop laughing. I liked it because they took things from the TV show and put it in the movie. Spoilers. The way he messed up the painting was one of the funniest thing I had ever seen. The random underwear in the oven scene was so funny. The tissue up his nose is funny. There are so many more things that are in this movie that make me laugh all the time. When ever you see Mr. Bean in a situation where is alone that a major indication something very funny is about to happen. When he is mistaken to be a genius when he knows very little about paintings is always funny. The shower scene is great. This movie is packed with humor that is just as hilarious as it was the first time when watching it multiple times. The painting scene will defiantly cause a serious amount of laughter. This is my favorite comedy. This is very good.
My late aunt and I both loved the "Mr. Bean" TV show, though my mother hated it, so my aunt and I eagerly went to the movie theater to see it. This was a box office hit? All it did was recycle some jokes from the TV show, add a stupid plot and a stupid supporting cast, and leave out the charm and cleverness.The idea of the TV show was that Mr. Bean used ingenious ways to deal with various situations, with varying degrees of success. Here he just acts like an idiot, and serves as the villain rather than the hero of the story. The one amusing bit in the movie (for which I gave an extra star) was where he distracted the security guard, then used laxatives to keep him away from his post for a sufficient time. But even then, it's the guard and not Mr. Bean who gets the laughs.We were both quite disappointed, and nobody else in the theater except for a little boy sitting next to me seemed to have any fun.
