Review of Bean (1997) by Kieran F — 17 Dec 2013
It's a funny film but...the problem with the film is all the parts that are funny where already in the TV show so it's nothing special and all they really did was take the funny moments from the show and extend them IE the show had a clip where Mr.
Bean picked up a kids vomit bag and then blew it up on a guys head Funny when you knew what was in it but didn't see it. What does the Movie do? it shows the aftermath and honestly it's not funny it's gross.
Ruined the gag after that. another part that was disappointing was honestly Mr.Bean. They got him talking more in this film which...I guess makes sense in some ways(I mean a character who is the main can only be mute for so long) but when his whole joke was to do things and b quiet about it and still be funny it's a hard pill to swallow.
Also I thought when he did speak in the show it was for a legitimate reason in this one its...more for laughs(IE a quick pun or something) which was still funny but..strayed to far from the character.
In closing it's not a HORRIBLE film it's just a film hat cherry picked the best scenes from the TV show, extended them and then added extra pointless scenes to make a film. disappointing. I would've rather seen a TV special then a full pledged film.
