It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
View MoreThe movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
View MoreThis movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
View MoreJust intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
View MoreAS usual this is a very funny movie of Mr Bean. I like how smartly the character was portrayed in the film like when he went to fix the portrait during the night. The best scene is when Mr Bean gives random people the middle finger without knowing what it means.The acting of both Rowan Atkinson and Peter McNicol was good.My overall score 9/10
View MoreBean: The Ultimate Disaster Movie (1997): Dir: Mel Smith / Cast: Rowan Atkinson, Peter MacNicol, Pamela Reed, Burt Reynolds, Harris Yulin: To understand Mr. Bean, one has only to observe. He appears simple yet his lifestyle is complicated. When late for work and no time for coffee, he puts a table spoon of coffee mix in his mouth followed by sugar, milk and hot water. Title indicates the mess people often make without thinking, such as making this film. He is chosen to represent his country in America where an expensive rare painting is on display. He is arrested at the airport for faking gun play, which was real swift. Upon moving in with a family he wrecks innocent havoc forcing the wife and children to leave. Ninety minute version of the T.V. show with direction by Mel Smith on the same level. Rowan Atkinson as Bean is sometimes funny but often tiresome. Maybe it has to do with the fact that the character is a moron. Peter MacNicol and Pamela Reed are flat as the couple who invite Bean into their home. He will wreck havoc on their home but not nearly as much as this film will play on their careers. Finally there is Burt Reynolds in what can only be described as a desperate career move. Those that enjoy the TV segments may wish to stick with that since this film isn't any funnier. It is a bigger disaster than its title gives it credit for. Score: 2 / 10
View MoreMr Bean, Rowan Atkinson's most iconic role. There was clearly going to be a movie because the child-like antics of the character clearly was popular enough. In my eyes it doesn't translate well to the screen but this is certainly worth a watch.The plot of this movie is that Mr Bean (of ALL people!) is asked to present a speech on Whistler's portrait of his mother in America. The person who is curating also has the idea to have him stay with his family.So the plot is extremely thin. If you've seen the show you might know what to expect. I enjoyed Rowan Atkinson as Mr Bean and everyone does their absolute best but there are a few complaints.Firstly. Mr Bean is a character that relies on pure physical comedy and not really that much else. His child-like antics are okay to watch for 30 minutes but this is nearly 90 minutes. It does get tiring after a while.Aside from that this is not that bad. It isn't anything special but it isn't unwatchable either. If you like the TV show then this is certainly worth a try.
View MoreThe TV series is a classic of a comedy series, so naturally this film had a lot to live up to. It comes close, but overall it isn't a patch on the TV series. Starting with the few I had, the plot is rather generic and somewhat predictable in areas too, and I think while making an effort to stick to the spirit of the series is rather thin for the running time. Also some of the melodrama is rather sappy for my tastes. On the other hand, the film does look great, so is the soundtrack, the physical comedy is laugh-out-loud-funny, Peter MacNicol is good in his conventional role and Rowan Atkinson is brilliant as Mr Bean. All in all, there is much to enjoy but it does fall short of the series. 7/10 Bethany Cox
