Movie Reviews of Bean
Movie Review: The art of a comedy.
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this film at the local theater when I was but a boy in 1997. Batman and Robin was a complete f***ing failure that year but I had something to bounce back on. And that was Bean. This movie was too hillarious for words. Rowan Atkinson is one of the greatest comedic masterminds of all time. He can take one simple mistake such as for example, sneezing on an important piece of American history like the "Whistler's Mother" painting and turning it into a full scale disaster involving paint thinner, breaking and entering, bathroom humor, and an incredibly moving speech and make it so frickin funny that you have to see it again. I must admit, I saw Bean 3 times that year and it got funnier every time. It's like a classic film such as Forrest Gump or Star Wars. Films like that get better and better everytime because you notice something new and it feels like watching a brand new movie. That's what makes movie watching so worthwhile. It starts to grow on you. But anyhow, Bean is probably one of the greatest comedies of all time and it only gets better because behind this great comedy there was an even greater television series. In 1998, the Fox family channel which is now ABC family swept into my cable company's channel list and Mr Bean was one of the shows that came on all the time. And it's even funnier that the movie. Some of the movie's bits came from the show such as Bean getting the turkey stuck to his head. If you buy this dvd which you should, buy the dvd sets of the tv series. But on a final note, this is one of the most hillarious films ever, so buy it.Movie Review: great stuff
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one really funny movie. One of the funniest British guys that happens to really appeal to Americans, this movie shows us why Mr. Bean has had such a successful run with his famous British comedy show. He never speaks much, but his actions speak volumes about how funny he is.
This movie does a great job of capturing the feel of his TV show and bringing on the laughs nonstop. Bringing him over to America was a great idea for a film storyline, because his character brought me to tears in laughter several times. The Americans didn't know how to react to him and just thought he was really strange, and Mr. Bean didn't seem phased by this at all. In fact, I think he LIKED people thinking he was weird.
I liked the part where a turkey was on Bean's head and he was dancing around, and especially the part where his pants got wet while during an important business meeting and he didn't want people thinking he wet himself, so he was walking around hiding the wet spot on his pants, and during one scene, he was trying to dry his pants by walking back and forth across a moving fan, lol. Meanwhile all the people at the business meeting were looking at him like the guy has a few loose screws, lol.
The Mr. Bean character is truly a mangificent one, and this movie is recommended to anyone who appreciates a funny comedy.
Movie Review: English Humor
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this movie, at first with some concern that it would be silly, and then with utterly gleeful laughter. I recommend that you watch this movie by yourself in order to protect your personal dignity; otherwise you run the risk of others laughing at your own tearful, uncontrollable laughter and it might set off a painful laughing jag.
That is not to say that everything in the movie works, but the subtle tones, nods, lies, excuses, and basic human weaknesses of a well meaning person touch the best spot humor can reach - where truth lies in us all. Everyone wants a good excuse when they do a dumb thing, and English is a master of both excuses and dumb things, but he is so well intentioned and sympathetic, you are forced to relate and therefore genuinely laugh at his outlandish exploits, fantasies, and understated self-aggrandizement.
It's a treat.
Movie Review: Still Hilarious After All Of These Years
Summary: 5 Stars
Rowan Atkinson brings his talents to America in "Bean: The Movie". They might as well have called this film "the Best of Bean" just for the fact that a lot of his most famous moments on the TV series are redone in this movie. From the turkey being stuck on Bean's head, to Bean falling asleep on the floor, fans will recognize a lot of the things he does. A lot of new jokes are in this movie as well, which brings originality to it and not just old used jokes.
The actors do very well in their roles and the star of the film does an exceptional job as the title character Mr. Bean. I have been a fan of this movie for years, and it's great that those who have never seen the TV series can see Bean now in this movie. Atkinson has become a star since this film, but it is easy to see why. The movie is just really funny and really does appeal to everyones young side.
Movie Review: Hilarious
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
