Review of Mr. Bean's Holiday (2007) by Joe W — 06 Sep 2012
It was nice to see Mr Bean again 10 years after the first movie, but I'm sorry to say that this movie is very, very average.
There are huge problems with Mr Bean's Holiday; 1. The gag where Mr Bean says "Gracias" about 30 times gets REALLY tiresome. 2. The scene where Mr Bean separates the boy and his father and tries to cheer the boy up. You just hate Mr Bean for losing that boy's father so you can't laugh at this scene. 3. The scene where Mr Bean is in the shed was just.......... c'mon! Why did they film that? 4. The ending where everyone breaks the fourth wall was just stupid. You never see Mr Bean breaking the fourth wall in the show.
If you thought that was bad, there's a deleted scene where Sabine tries to kill herself..................................................... I'm dead serious. Why did they film that? Just why? "What should we do for the new Mr Bean film? Oh, let's have a character try to kill herself. It's for the whole family!".
(sigh) But the question is this: Is it watchable? Well, Rowan's comic timing is great and it's nice to see Rowan put on his Mr Bean armor once again.
It's not as good as the first film, but if you like Mr Bean, give it a watch.
