Our Review
I am a huge Mr Bean fan, I have loved the TV show and the previous film, so I had high hopes for this new Mr Bean film.
The plot is a simple one, Mr Bean wins a Holiday to France in a raffle.
While trying to get on a ...(read more)train, he ends up causing a Father and son to be seperated, feeling guilty he tries to help the kid.
The Father believes that Bean has kidnapped the child.
The film is your usual Mr Bean type affair, lots of set scenes.
I have to admit that the start of the film is a bit slow, but once it gets going I really enjoyed it.
Now the problem is that some people will love this film, and some people will hate it, and which side of the fence you fall on will depend largely on your like or dislike for Mr Bean.
There isn't much of a plot to this film, the ending is ridiculous and unbelievable, BUT it is very funny and thats the main point of any Mr bean film.
If you like Mr Bean, then go watch the film, if you dont, then dont!
I would give this film a strong 8/10

Movie Details
In his latest misadventure, Mr. Bean--the nearly wordless misfit who seems to be followed by a trail of pratfalls and hijinks goes on holiday to the French Riviera and becomes ensnared in a European adventure of cinematic proportions.
Tired of the dreary, wet London weather, Bean packs up his suitcase and camcorder to head to Cannes for some sun on the beach.
But his trip doesn't go as smoothly as he had hoped when the bumbling Bean falls face first into a series of mishaps and fortunate coincidences, far-fetched enough to make his own avant-garde film.
Wrongly thought to be both kidnapper and acclaimed filmmaker, he has some serious explaining to do after wreaking havoc across the French countryside and arriving at his vacation spot with a Romanian filmmaker's precocious son and an aspiring actress in tow.
Will Bean be arrested by the gendarmes or end up winning the Palme d’Or?
