Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

adonis98-743-186503 Mr. Bean wins a trip to Cannes where he unwittingly separates a young boy from his father and must help the two come back together. On the way he discovers France, bicycling, and true love, among other things. Rowan Atkinson's Mr. Bean is back and this time he is better than ever, teaming up with a woman and a child who "lost" his father in a train station, the goofs are relentless and more than enough and trust me the humor works 100% especially some of the scenes with him and the camera or Dafoe's cameo were incredible funny but remember it's not for all viewers and i'm not talking about the jokes or the character himself but the overall movie as it is. (10/10)

rabbe It doesn't happen very often to me, but I think this film actually gets better with repeat viewings. Ten years after release, the criticisms at the time seem pretty petty; the film really works as an extension of the TV series and an homage to, on one end, the European comedy tradition of Jaques Tati, and on the other end, silent movie slapstick. And the references to pretentious cinema auteurs seems even more relevant today than ten years ago. The film has a nice, slow pace I appreciate more and more, and it's expertly produced and photographed. The supporting cast is good, especially French Emma de Caunes, who manages to portray some extraordinary sweet normalcy, as a contrast to Mr Beans antics.

areatw 'Mr Bean's Holiday', the second and last of Rowan Atkinson's 'Bean' movies, is a brilliantly entertaining adventure comedy with the character at his funniest. This is the last we saw of Bean and, for sure, Atkinson took him out on a high note.Whilst I would still say I preferred the original Bean movie, the storyline of this one is probably stronger and perfect for Bean's character. Although, part of the reason I enjoyed the original Bean so much was the lack of emphasis on the plot, with the focus instead on the jokes and Bean.Bean is a timeless, hilarious character that will never wear thin. Ten years and many more views later, and this film will still make me laugh like the first time I saw it.

mohelou n his latest misadventure, Mr. Bean-the nearly wordless misfit who seems to be followed by a trail of pratfalls and hijinks-goes on holiday to the French Riviera and becomes ensnared in a European adventure of cinematic proportions. Tired of the dreary, wet London weather, Bean packs up his suitcase and camcorder to head to Cannes for some sun on the beach. Ah...vacation. But his trip doesn't go as smoothly as he had hoped when the bumbling Bean falls face first into a series of mishaps and fortunate coincidences, far-fetched enough to make his own avant-garde film. Wrongly thought to be both kidnapper and acclaimed filmmaker, he has some serious explaining to do after wreaking havoc across the French countryside and arriving at his vacation spot with a Romanian filmmaker's precocious son and an aspiring actress in tow. Will Bean be arrested by the gendarmes or end up winning the Palme d'Or? It's all caught on camera as Atkinson again applies his awkward athleticism to a comedy of errors in Mr. Bean's Holiday. Parents need to know that kids are sure to giggle at Mr. Bean's ridiculous mugging and all of this comic farce's falls, accidents, and treacherous near-misses. Although the movie doesn't have much dialogue (you don't really need it to keep up with Bean's broad humor), what little there is, is mostly in subtitled French (or Russian), which could be tricky for kids who aren't yet proficient readers. And a few moments could be scary (a faux military attack on a quiet village, for instance) if kids aren't good at distinguishing real from imaginary.
