    Painful and embarrassing to watch.

    It's frustrating that Atkinson is so intelligent, yet he plays such a stupid (and often irritating) character.

    It's a bit too silly for my taste, but Peter MacNicol deserves a whole star for himself.

    Mr. Bean works at the Royal National Gallery. His co-workers despise his laziness and his ability to sleep on the job. Though they want him fired from his job, the staff is rendered powerless because the chairman of the board adores him. The staff devises a plan to have Mr. Bean ...( read more)shipped to America for a three month sabbatical for the unveiling of America?s most famous painting, Whistler?s Mother. When Bean damages the actual painting, he must come to rescue and save his friend David and the presentation of the famous painting.
    Bean the movie is the first misadventure of the British goof Mr. Bean. Rowan Atkinson has a wonderful knack of physical and visual comedy. His portrayal of the character Mr. Bean brings the whole movie full circle. The movie has several hilarious scenes that will keep the audience laughing and reminiscing for days. Mr. Bean is a great comedy for people of all ages that the whole family can enjoy. Bean the movie receives four beans out of five for a great family comedy.

    "Bean" demonstrates the misguidedness of translating comedy sketches to the big screen.

    It had is moments, were you would see something unusual even for him, but they still treat him like an idiot so you expected him to be an idiot, and it takes a little of the humor.
