  • Starring: Rowan Atkinson, Willem Dafoe
  • Summary: Tired of the dreary, wet London weather, Bean packs up his suitcase and camcorder to hand to Cannes for some sun on the beach. But this trip doesn't go as smoothly as he had hoped, and 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 a kidnapper, he has some serious explaining to do after wreaking havoc across the French countryside and arriving at this vacation spot with a Russian filmmaker's precocious son and an aspiring actress in tow. Will Bean be arrested by the gendarmes or finally have the vacation of his dreams? (Universal Studios)… Expand

    A former Bean hater, I've been converted by Holiday, Atkinson's second, and far superior film version of his TV hit.

    Either you'll find the man hilarious -- or he'll seem like one of those awful, tedious comedians who only THINKS he's hilarious.

    While Mr. Bean's Holiday is hardly a memorable vacation, Atkinson proves an agreeably silly tour guide.

    Picks up steam when it finally arrives in Cannes just in time to wreak yet more havoc at the big film festival, but getting there is pretty tedious. A little of the wildly mugging Atkinson goes a long way.

    It was the funniest movie I've ever seen. I loved when Mr. Bean was singing opera. It was very intelligent. I loved when he ate the oysters and put it in the woman's purse. I loved when Mr. Bean ate the shrimp. I loved the movie in the movie. It was funny when Mr. Bean lost his bus ticket on the chicken's foot. I loved when he knocked over the man's coffee. I would give it a 100! I loved when he wrote all the possibilities on his passport to call on his boy's dad.… Expand

    This is a G rated comedy. One of the few, at least for these days. This movie is so funny. Its one of those movies were you start cracking up in the middle of work or school even after you've stopped laughing at the movie. This is one that everyone can enjoy. LOL.… Expand

    I didn't expect to like this movie, but I did. My least favourite Bean moments are when he wreaks havoc with poor passers-by, and there is some of this. But the film is largely weighted toward my favorite side of Bean, and this is when he approaches the problems in his life with an arcane and childlike creativity. Accidents happen, and Bean triumphs in his innocent and good-hearted (and chaotic!) way.… Expand

    Didn't you notice, they kind of ran out of ideas for Rowan Atkinson to act out. Sure some of it was a little funny, but overall it was a blasphemy of disaster.… Expand
