Bean

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

Pros ??
Cons trivial and meaningless
Recommended it? No

Two weekends ago, I was shopping around in Office Depot for a book shelf that I have no where to put and happened to stroll on past the furniture section. Well, it just so happened that there was a man there, shopping for a desk chair. He was hopping from one chair to the next and just had me in... Read full review »

Pros I can't see any.....
Cons Where do I start?
Recommended it? No

I have been a fan of Rowan Atkinson's Mr. Bean for a good 10 years. I have always enjoyed how he makes a fool of himself in any situation imaginable. Because of this, I have gotten a vast majority of his tapes.

Then I heard about the movie Bean and I thought that this had to be a great... Read full review »

Pros Comic talents of Rowan Atkinson. Really Really hilariously awful situations
Cons Loses something in the transition from TV to Movie.
Recommended it? Yes

My feelings about this movie were mixed the first time I viewed it. Although I was amused for much of the film, my own misgivings about Bean were quite different from some of the others expressed on Epinions.

In the movie, Mr Bean is an inept security guard at the London Museum of Art and... Read full review »

Bean: The Movie [VHS]

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. 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 L.A. museum, but Bean's famously eccentric behavior 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
