Bean (Rowan Atkinson) works as a caretaker at Britain's formidable Royal National Gallery, and his bosses want to fire him because he sleeps at work all the time, but can't because the chairman of the gallery's board defends him. They send him to the U.S., to the small Los Angeles art gallery instead, where he'll have to officiate at the opening of the greatest U.S. picture ever (called "Whistler's Mother").

    There weren’t those sitcom laugh tracks from the Mr. Bean series, and it wasn’t “extremely silent,” which felt a little strange to me at first. There were funny moments, they weren’t as frequent as in the series, and I felt like Rowan Atkinson's acting was a little more in the background. Also, there were way too many scenes taken from the original series. I want to interpret them as “references” rather than calling them copied, though. Btw, the ending of the movie was extremely good; otherwise, I would’ve given it a 9/10.

    Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson) is a London museum guard who is about to be fired by middle management. The big boss, however, won't hear of it; instead, he sends Mr. Bean to America. Once there, Mr. Bean is to pose as an art critic and give a rousing speech about Whistler's mother for a California art museum. Well, the museum director picks Mr. Bean up at the airport and pandemonium is the name of the game after that. Mr. Bean upsets the director's household, creates havoc at a local amusement park, blows up dinner and more. On top of that, he rarely speaks so everyone is certain he is an idiot. Can this man transform himself into an art critic and will he be able to present a speech on the museum's big day? This movie is just flat-out fun. Although he has very little dialogue, Mr. Bean's expressions and antics are priceless. The supporting cast does a reasonably good job but Mr. Bean towers over everybody. This movie should be required viewing for anyone in a depressed state of mind; it can lift the spirits of even the saddest beings on earth. Recommended for a fine family evening of giggles and leg-slapping.

    Amazing masterpiece of a movie, very funny indeed. Just as funny as Mr Bean's Holiday! Truly worthy to own physically.

    It’s a goofy movie without much substance in its characters or plot but that isn’t what Bean is about. It’s about making you laugh which it certainly does. Peter MacNicol plays off well with Atkinson in a buddy style duo but of course Mr Bean is the star of the show. An enjoyable watch with the family.
