Bean: The Movie [DVD] [1997]

The movie was very funny. We have been watching Mr. Bean skits for years. His facial expressions and overall demeanor make us laugh every time we watch it.

If you are a fan of the Mr. Bean television show, then you probably won't be disappointed in the movie. Basically, the physical comedy that made Mr. Bean a TV hit is just extended into a feature film that often reuses much of the same schtick from the TV show. Some of these repeat gags include the turkey on the head, falling asleep in public, and generally driving everyone around him crazy. There are some new and funny moments, but they don't stand up to repeated viewings of the movie. The supporting cast does a nice job and there's a good cameo by Burt Reynolds near the end. Overall, a decent film, but not too thought-provoking. A good choice if you are in the mood for silly humour and moderate chuckling.

'Bean' is not a movie that everyone will enjoy, but those who can appreciate its offbeat humor will find themselves in for some good laughs. Widescreen and full-screen viewing options.
