Summary: Hilarious
Review: If you are already a fan of Mr. Bean and haven't yet seen this movie, run to the store!! Watch the disaster-man come to America...

A famous American painting is bought from the Brits and goes back to the US; the British art museum is asked to send a renown art scholar who will deliver a speech during the celebration of the masterpiece return. They decide to send Bean. He is no scholar, of course, he's just a watchman they wish they could fire; but they can't, so they are happy to get rid of him at least for a couple of months by sending him to the States.

Some of the antics are taken from the TV series, but there are many new ones you will enjoy. The episode of Mr. Bean's arrival to the airport is priceless, as well as his "performance" in front of the mirror-wall at the police station.

Highly recommended to any Bean lover.

Summary: He's Bean
Review: Rowan Atkinson Is So Funny. He Needs To Do More Bean. How About Bean 2. Just See This Movie If You Like Hysterical Comedy.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Call it 3 1/2 stars just to be fair.
Review: There are two schools of thought on British Humor. You like it or you hate it. Period. I've always been a fan of Rowan Atkinson, not only for the Mr. Bean Character but also for the Black Adder series.

Bean is simply a goofy British nerd. Doesn't have too many friends, isn't particularly smart, and kind of goes through life pretty well oblivious to everything around him. In this film he's mistaken for an Art Expert for a museum travelling to LA. The plot isn't much and never is.

Everything is about the Chaos Bean brings to everything he does. Not as good as the TV series, but I don't think Bean fans will be disappointed.

If you're not a Bean fan...avoid it at all costs.

Being that self-absorbed gets him into one mess after another.

Rating: 4 stars

Review: OK...so the movie has some bits that were taken from the show...but the movie is still hilarious! Many people tend to either love him or hate him...so if you haven't seen Mr. Bean in action...give him a shot!

Summary: Finally MR. BEAN makes it to the big screen!
Review: Since Rowan Atkinson's success with his television show "Mr. Bean" made a big splash here in the States, everyone anticipated his character's debut in a feature film. The result was different from his television version. Much of what happens in the film version tends to get watered down. Somehow, his antics just worked better in his television format.

He is still funny, though. What made his television version work was the small city that he was in and he wasn't bombarded by too many characters at once. With the film, everything else was a distraction. If it were just a movie with Mr. Atkinson, I would have loved it more. He can do so much without having supporting characters around him.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A Box Office Bust
Review: This was one the worst movies I have ever rented. I've seen this movie twice in one month & I watched with my family on a cruise vacation & they said it was a junk. They were right so I say to all of you people here don't waste your money on this film. Save your money & find some movie that you & your family can enjoy.

Rating: 4 stars

Directed by Mel Smith (Radioland Murders). Written by Rowan Atkinson, Richard Curtis & Robin Driscoll. This film is Adapted from the Popular British T.V. Show. This was a huge Box Office Success allover the World. This film recieve Mixed Reviews at Best. Fans of the Show will love this more than Modern Audiences. This film has Some Off the Wall humor, Great Fun. Special Widescreen Version on VHS has about 15 Minutes, worth of Deleted Scenes. Grade:B+.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: The TV series is better
Review: Don't get me wrong, I love Mr. Bean. I love how Rowan Atkinson plays this nosey guy who sticks his nose in to other people's business and never speaks a word. Not to mention the teddy bear, where on some episodes its head is too small, and on other episodes its head is too big. The only drawback was there were so few episodes made between the 1989-1995 time period, no more than two made a year. Then why did I give the 1997 movie a two star rating. Well, put it this way: Mr. Bean does not look good with Hollywood style production. The production was very down to earth on the old TV series, but with the movie, every Hollywood cliche is put in to use and it falls flat. Plus it's set in America where Bean just looks so out of place. Not to mention, I find the TV series hilarious, but the movie really falls flat in the funny department. The old TV series were filmed in England, which fits fine with this type of humor. Being a lover of some of the better Britcoms out there like Monty Python, Keeping Up Appearances, and of course Mr. Bean, this movie is a prime example of what not to do with a movie: try to Americanize a Britcom.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Bean: The Ultimate Disaster Movie
Review: Be afraid, be very afraid, Mr. Bean has a passport. I saw this movie in theatres, and I asked myself the same thing you're probably thinking - does Mr. Bean hold up as a movie? Well, yes and no. The premise of Bean being sent to the U.S. to oversee the unveiling of Whistler's Mother just so his co-workers could get rid of him was a great plot for a feature-length film.
However, the director, Mel Smith went for a lot of old material; popping the barf bag on the plane and so forth. So, yes it does work as a movie, but get ready for some familiar gags from the TV series.
