Mr. Bean’s Holiday is a 2007 comedy film directed by Steve Bendelack and written by Hamish McColl and Robin Driscoll, from a story penned by Simon McBurney. Based on the British sitcom series Mr. Bean created by Rowan Atkinson and Richard Curtis, it is a standalone sequel to Bean (1997). The film stars Atkinson in the title role, with Max Baldry, Emma de Caunes, Willem Dafoe and Karel Roden in supporting roles. In the film, Mr. Bean wins a trip to Cannes, France, but on his way there, he is mistaken for both a kidnapper and an award-winning filmmaker when he travels with both a Russian filmmaker’s son and an aspiring actress in tow.

Produced by StudioCanal, Working Title Films and Tiger Aspect Films, the film was theatrically released in the United Kingdom on 30 March 2007 and in the United States on 24 August 2007 by Universal Pictures. It received mixed reviews from critics, though it was generally considered to be an improvement over its predecessor. The film was also a commercial success, having grossed $232.2 million worldwide against a $25 million budget.^[4]

Plot[edit]

On a rainy day in London, Mr. Bean wins a holiday trip to Cannes, a video camera, and €200 in a raffle. Upon arriving in France, Bean causes chaos while trying French seafood cuisine at Le Train Bleu and asks Russian film director, Emil Duchevsky, to film him boarding his train using his video camera at the Gare de Lyon. However, the two keep doing retakes at Bean’s request until the train leaves with Bean and Duchevsky’s son, Stepan, onboard and Duchevsky left behind.

Bean and Stepan bond and get off together at the next station, where Duchevsky’s train passes through the station without stopping; he holds up a sign with a mobile phone number written on it for Stepan to call, but due to inadvertently obscuring the last two digits, Bean unsuccessfully calls the number numerous times. Bean and Stepan board the next train stopping, but are ejected as Bean had accidentally left his wallet, passport and ticket on the telephone booth.

To earn money, Bean busks as a mime/singer and buys himself and Stepan food and bus tickets to Cannes. However, Bean’s ticket gets caught in the wind and onto the foot of a chicken, which is then packed into a farmer’s truck that Bean chases via bicycle to a farm, where he is unable to retrieve his ticket due to the large number of chickens there. Deciding to continue his journey alone on foot, Bean wakes up on a quaint French village under attack from Nazi soldiers, which is revealed to be the set of a yogurt commercial directed by American filmmaker Carson Clay. Bean briefly stars in the commercial as one of the soldiers before being dismissed for showing his video camera in the advert, and accidentally causes the set to explode while recharging his camera.

Continuing to hitchhike, Bean is picked up by a Mini identical to his own driven by aspiring actress Sabine, who is on her way to the Cannes Film Festival, where her debut film directed by Carson, Playback Time, is to be presented. The pair stop at a café, where Bean reunites with Stepan and Sabine decides to take him with them, believing Stepan to be Bean’s son. The next morning, the trio arrive in Cannes thanks to Bean driving through the night after Sabine falls asleep.

At a petrol station, Sabine sees on the news that she and Bean are suspected of kidnapping Stepan. In a rush to Playback Time’s premiere which is starting in merely an hour, she decides not to head to the police to clear the misunderstandings and instead has Bean and Stepan disguised as her mother and daughter to avoid detection at the festival. During the premiere, the audience initially showcases disinterest in the film, and Sabine discovers that her role has been cut, prompting Bean to plug his video camera into the projector and replace the film’s visuals with his video diary. The camera’s footage of Bean’s shenanigans surprisingly align well with the film’s narration, and Carson, Sabine and Bean all receive a standing ovation while Stepan is reunited with his parents.

Bean exits through the theatre’s back door and finally arrives at the Cannes beach as desired, where he, Sabine, Stepan, Carson, and a group of other people mime a large musical finale to the song «La Mer».

After the credits, Bean can be seen writing «FIN» in the sand with his foot. As soon as he finishes, the camera runs out of battery.

Production[edit]

Plans for a second Mr. Bean film were first revealed in February 2001, when Rowan Atkinson — who was filming Scooby-Doo at the time — was lured into developing a sequel to Bean (1997), from a script written by Mr. Bean co-creator Richard Curtis that would have followed Mr. Bean heading to Australia under the working title Down Under Bean.^[5] No further announcements regarding the film were made until in early 2005.

In March 2005, the film was officially announced, then titled Bean 2, with Simon McBurney, co-founder and artistic director of the Théâtre de Complicité theatre company, writing the film’s script.^[6] In December of that year, Atkinson announced that he would script the film himself alongside Curtis, though the final screenplay was instead written by Robin Driscoll (a writer on the TV series) and Hamish McColl, while McBurney wrote the film’s story and served as one of the executive producers on the film alongside Curtis.^{[citation needed]}

Principal photography for the film began on 15 May 2006 and took place on location across England and France, particularly during the 2006 Cannes Film Festival.^[7] At that point, the film’s title was changed from Bean 2 to French Bean, and later to Mr. Bean’s Holiday, a reference to the 1953 French comedy film Monsieur Hulot’s Holiday, whose title character served as an inspiration to the character of Mr. Bean.^{[citation needed]}

Atkinson reflected in 2022 that since he was neither an athlete nor a cyclist, he found the cycling sequence to be the most difficult thing he had ever done as Mr. Bean.^[8]

Deleted scenes[edit]

The film features twelve deleted scenes, all of which are included in the film’s home media releases:

• On the train, Bean accidentally spills some coffee on a laptop in front of two sleeping men. He cleans it up by wiping the keyboard with his hands, leaving just as one of the two men wakes up and blames the other for destroying his laptop. This scene was featured on trailers and TV spots for the film, while the European release of the film has it in place of the vending machine scene.
• An extended version of Bean’s walk across France where he sees Stepan for the first time looking out a car window.
• Bean tricks a man to get a train ticket for himself and staying with Stepan on the train.
• Bean carries Stepan on his back all the way through a French plaza.
• Bean continues his journey on foot through a large field of sunflowers, which then transitions to the scene where he tries to hitchhike. In an extended version of that scene, he films himself doing silly moves in the middle of the road using his video camera (which is later shown in Carson Clay’s Playback Time in the film’s final cut).
• Taking place before the scene where he gets picked up by Sabine, Bean performs shadow play on the road.
• An extended version of Bean’s car ride with Sabine where the latter leaves her Mini emotionally and almost gets run over by a truck after lying down on the road.
• An extended version of the café scene where Bean mimes his journey to Stepan prior to reuniting with him, which transitions to the scene where Sabine meets Stepan and the group dances at the cafe.
• Taking place in the scene where Sabine stops at a petrol station to change for the premiere, Bean tricks a man into making the cost of his car’s refueling higher, by immediately getting the fuel nozzle once the man places it back on the gas pumps (unbeknownst to the man) and plugging it into Sabine’s Mini.
• Taking place during the premiere of Playback Time, Bean enters the projection room, where he falls asleep while sitting down to watch the film. He then leans on the rolling projector’s wheel, causing it to stop and the film to stop rolling, get tangled up and cut, which causes Bean to wake up and try sticking the film back together. After initially succeeding in fixing the film, Bean then accidentally causes the projector to lower down. This is then followed by Carson discovering the film roll accumulating in the projection room and trying to fix the film and lower the projector back up. The damaged film is still seen lying next to the projector in the final cut, though it remains unexplained.
• The original ending of the film had Bean dancing at the beach with a band, which was replaced by Bean, Sabine, Stepan and the rest of the film’s characters singing «La Mer».

Music[edit]

The film score was composed and conducted by Howard Goodall, who also composed the original Mr. Bean series, although the original Mr. Bean theme was unused. In contrast to the series’ use of simple musical repetitions, the film uses a symphonic orchestration, which is a sophisticated score that features catchy leitmotifs for particular characters or scenes. The film’s theme song was «Crash» by Matt Willis.

Release[edit]

Theatrical[edit]

Mr. Bean’s Holiday served as the official film for Red Nose Day 2007, with money made from the film going to the telethon’s charity Comic Relief. Prior to the film’s release, a new and exclusive Mr. Bean sketch titled Mr. Bean’s Wedding was broadcast on the telethon for Comic Relief on BBC One on 16 March 2007.^[9]

The official premiere of the film took place at the Odeon Leicester Square on Sunday, 25 March and helped to raise money for both Comic Relief and the Oxford Children’s Hospital.^{[citation needed]} Universal Pictures released a teaser trailer for the film in November 2006 and launched an official website online the following month.^{[citation needed]}

Home media[edit]

Mr. Bean’s Holiday was released on both DVD and HD DVD on 27 November 2007. The DVD release is in separate widescreen and pan and scan formats in the United States. The DVD charted at No. 1 on the DVD chart in the United Kingdom on its week of release.

The film was then released on Blu-ray for the first time in the United States on 16 April 2019.^[10][11][12]

Reception[edit]

Box office[edit]

Mr. Bean’s Holiday opened in the United States on 24 August 2007 alongside War and The Nanny Diaries, and grossed $9,889,780 in its opening weekend while playing in 1,714 theaters, with a $5,770 per-theater average and ranking fourth at the box office.

Culminating in a worldwide total of $232,225,908, the film has become commercially successful considering its $25 million budget.^[4][3] The film was released in the United Kingdom on 30 March 2007 and topped the country’s box office for the next two weekends, before being dethroned by Wild Hogs.^[13][14]

Critical response[edit]

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 51% based on 115 reviews with an average rating of 5.40/10. The site’s critical consensus reads, «Mr. Bean’s Holiday means well, but good intentions can’t withstand the 90 minutes of monotonous slapstick and tired, obvious gags.»^[15] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 56 out of 100 based on 26 critics, indicating «mixed or average reviews».^[16] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of «B» on an A+ to F scale.^[17]

BBC film critic Paul Arendt gave the film 3 out of 5 stars, saying that, «It’s hard to explain the appeal of Mr. Bean. At first glance, he seems to be moulded from the primordial clay of nightmares: a leering man-child with a body like a tangle of tweed-coated pipe cleaners and the gurning, window-licking countenance of a suburban sex offender. It’s a testament to Rowan Atkinson’s skill that, by the end of the film he seems almost cuddly.»^[18] Philip French of The Observer referred to the character of Mr. Bean as a «dim-witted sub-Hulot loner» and said the plot involves Atkinson «getting in touch with his retarded inner child». French also said «the best joke (Bean on an old bike riding faster than a team of professional cyclists) is taken directly from Tati’s Jour de Fete.»^[19] Wendy Ide of The Times gave the film 2 out of 5 stars and said «It has long been a mystery to the British, who consider Bean to be, at best, an ignoble secret weakness, that Rowan Atkinson’s repellent creation is absolutely massive on the Continent.» Ide said parts of the film are reminiscent of City of God, The Straight Story and said two scenes are «clumsily borrowed» from Pee-wee’s Big Adventure. Ide also wrote that the jokes are weak and one gag «was past its sell-by date ten years ago».^[20]

Steve Rose of The Guardian gave the film 2 out of 5 stars, saying that the film was full of awfully weak gags, and «In a post-Borat world, surely there’s no place for Bean’s antiquated fusion of Jacques Tati, Pee-Wee Herman and John Major?»,^[21] while Colm Andrew of the Manx Independent said «the flimsiness of the character, who is essentially a one-trick pony, starts to show» and his «continual close-up gurning into the camera» becomes tiresome. Peter Rainer of The Christian Science Monitor gave the film a «B» and said, «Since Mr. Bean rarely speaks a complete sentence, the effect is of watching a silent movie with sound effects. This was also the dramatic ploy of the great French director-performer Jacques Tati, who is clearly the big influence here.»^[22] Amy Biancolli of the Houston Chronicle gave the film 3 out of 4 stars, saying «Don’t mistake this simpleton hero, or the movie’s own simplicity, for a lack of smarts. Mr. Bean’s Holiday is quite savvy about filmmaking, landing a few blows for satire.» Biancolli said the humour is «all elementally British and more than a touch French. What it isn’t, wasn’t, should never attempt to be, is American. That’s the mistake made by Mel Smith and the ill-advised forces behind 1997’s Bean: The Movie.»^[23]

Ty Burr of The Boston Globe wrote, «Either you’ll find [Atkinson] hilarious—or he’ll seem like one of those awful, tedious comedians who only thinks he’s hilarious.» Burr also said «There are also a few gags stolen outright from Tati», but concluded «Somewhere, Jacques Tati is smiling.»^[24] Tom Long of The Detroit News said, «Watching 90 minutes of this stuff—we’re talking broad, broad comedy here—may seem a bit much, but this film actually picks up steam as it rolls along, becoming ever more absurd.» and also «Mr. Bean offers a refreshingly blunt reminder of the simple roots of comedy in these grim, overly manufactured times.»^[25]

Suzanne Condie Lambert of The Arizona Republic wrote, «Atkinson is a gifted physical comedian. And the film is a rarity: a kid-friendly movie that was clearly not produced as a vehicle for selling toys and video games», but also said that «It’s hard to laugh at a character I’m 95 percent sure is autistic.»^[26] Lawrence Toppman of The Charlotte Observer gave the film 2½ stars out of 4 and said «If you like [the character], you will certainly like Mr. Bean’s Holiday, a 10-years-later sequel to Bean. I found him intermittently funny yet almost unrelentingly creepy», and also «Atkinson doesn’t have the deadpan elegance of a Buster Keaton or the wry, gentle physicality of a Jacques Tati (whose Mr. Hulot’s Holiday inspired the title). He’s funniest when mugging shamelessly…»^[27]

Ruthe Stein of the San Francisco Chronicle said that «the disasters instigated by Bean’s haplessness quickly become tiresome and predictable» but said that one scene later in the film «is worth sticking around for».^[28] Elizabeth Weitzman of the New York Daily News gave the film 2 out of 4 stars and said «If you’ve never been particularly fond of Atkinson’s brand of slapstick, you certainly won’t be converted by this trifle.» and also «If the title sounds familiar, it’s because Atkinson intends his movie to be an homage to the 1953 French classic Mr. Hulot’s Holiday. Mr. Hulot was played by one of the all-time great physical comedians, Jacques Tati, and that movie is a genuine delight from start to finish. This version offers a few laughs and an admirable commitment to old-fashioned fun.»^[29] Phil Villarreal of the Arizona Daily Star gave the film 2 stars and said «If you’ve seen 10 minutes of Rowan Atkinson’s Mr. Bean routine, you’ve seen it all», and «The Nazi stuff is a bit out of place in a G-rated movie. Or any movie, really», later calling Atkinson «a has-Bean».^[30] Claudia Puig of USA Today gave the film 1½ stars out of 4 and said «If you’ve been lobotomised or have the mental age of a kindergartener, Mr. Bean’s Holiday is viable comic entertainment» and also, «The film, set mostly in France, pays homage to Jacques Tati, but the mostly silent gags feel like watered-down Bean.»^[31]

Accolades[edit]

Max Baldry was nominated for Best Performance in a Feature Film – Supporting Young Actor at the 29th Young Artist Awards in 2008.^{[citation needed]} The film was nominated as Comedy or Musical and Best Comedy at the First National Movie Awards in 2007.^{[citation needed]}

French also said «the best joke (Bean on an old bike riding faster than a team of professional cyclists) is taken directly from Tati’s Jour de Fete.»^[19] Wendy Ide of The Times gave the film 2 out of 5 stars and said «It has long been a mystery to the British, who consider Bean to be, at best, an ignoble secret weakness, that Rowan Atkinson’s repellent creation is absolutely massive on the Continent.» Ide said parts of the film are reminiscent of City of God, The Straight Story and said two scenes are «clumsily borrowed» from Pee-wee’s Big Adventure. Ide also wrote that the jokes are weak and one gag «was past its sell-by date ten years ago».^[20]

Steve Rose of The Guardian gave the film 2 out of 5 stars, saying that the film was full of awfully weak gags, and «In a post-Borat world, surely there’s no place for Bean’s antiquated fusion of Jacques Tati, Pee-Wee Herman and John Major?»,^[21] while Colm Andrew of the Manx Independent said «the flimsiness of the character, who is essentially a one-trick pony, starts to show» and his «continual close-up gurning into the camera» becomes tiresome. Peter Rainer of The Christian Science Monitor gave the film a «B» and said, «Since Mr. Bean rarely speaks a complete sentence, the effect is of watching a silent movie with sound effects. This was also the dramatic ploy of the great French director-performer Jacques Tati, who is clearly the big influence here.»^[22] Amy Biancolli of the Houston Chronicle gave the film 3 out of 4 stars, saying «Don’t mistake this simpleton hero, or the movie’s own simplicity, for a lack of smarts. Mr. Bean’s Holiday is quite savvy about filmmaking, landing a few blows for satire.» Biancolli said the humour is «all elementally British and more than a touch French. What it isn’t, wasn’t, should never attempt to be, is American. That’s the mistake made by Mel Smith and the ill-advised forces behind 1997’s Bean: The Movie.»^[23]

Ty Burr of The Boston Globe wrote, «Either you’ll find [Atkinson] hilarious—or he’ll seem like one of those awful, tedious comedians who only thinks he’s hilarious.» Burr also said «There are also a few gags stolen outright from Tati», but concluded «Somewhere, Jacques Tati is smiling.»^[24] Tom Long of The Detroit News said, «Watching 90 minutes of this stuff—we’re talking broad, broad comedy here—may seem a bit much, but this film actually picks up steam as it rolls along, becoming ever more absurd.» and also «Mr. Bean offers a refreshingly blunt reminder of the simple roots of comedy in these grim, overly manufactured times.»^[25]

Suzanne Condie Lambert of The Arizona Republic wrote, «Atkinson is a gifted physical comedian. And the film is a rarity: a kid-friendly movie that was clearly not produced as a vehicle for selling toys and video games», but also said that «It’s hard to laugh at a character I’m 95 percent sure is autistic.»^[26] Lawrence Toppman of The Charlotte Observer gave the film 2½ stars out of 4 and said «If you like [the character], you will certainly like Mr. Bean’s Holiday, a 10-years-later sequel to Bean. I found him intermittently funny yet almost unrelentingly creepy», and also «Atkinson doesn’t have the deadpan elegance of a Buster Keaton or the wry, gentle physicality of a Jacques Tati (whose Mr. Hulot’s Holiday inspired the title). He’s funniest when mugging shamelessly…»^[27]

Ruthe Stein of the San Francisco Chronicle said that «the disasters instigated by Bean’s haplessness quickly become tiresome and predictable» but said that one scene later in the film «is worth sticking around for».^[28] Elizabeth Weitzman of the New York Daily News gave the film 2 out of 4 stars and said «If you’ve never been particularly fond of Atkinson’s brand of slapstick, you certainly won’t be converted by this trifle.» and also «If the title sounds familiar, it’s because Atkinson intends his movie to be an homage to the 1953 French classic Mr. Hulot’s Holiday. Mr. Hulot was played by one of the all-time great physical comedians, Jacques Tati, and that movie is a genuine delight from start to finish. This version offers a few laughs and an admirable commitment to old-fashioned fun.»^[29] Phil Villarreal of the Arizona Daily Star gave the film 2 stars and said «If you’ve seen 10 minutes of Rowan Atkinson’s Mr. Bean routine, you’ve seen it all», and «The Nazi stuff is a bit out of place in a G-rated movie. Or any movie, really», later calling Atkinson «a has-Bean».^[30] Claudia Puig of USA Today gave the film 1½ stars out of 4 and said «If you’ve been lobotomised or have the mental age of a kindergartener, Mr. Bean’s Holiday is viable comic entertainment» and also, «The film, set mostly in France, pays homage to Jacques Tati, but the mostly silent gags feel like watered-down Bean.»^[31]

Вечеринку звезды сериала «Мистер Бин» Роуэна Аткинсона приняли за российское вторжение. Об этом сообщает Daily Mail.

Уточняется, что актер устроил мероприятие в честь дня рождения своей возлюбленной Луизы Форд. Праздник в районе Котсуолдс на юго-западе Англии сопровождался шумными фейерверками и напугал местных жителей. Соседи пожаловались, что из-за громких звуков некоторые собаки убежали из дома, а кошки испытали стресс.

По словам нескольких жителей района, из-за вечеринки они подумали, что Россия решила напасть на Великобританию. В связи с тем, что Аткинсон арендовал для праздника целый спа-отель Lucknam Park, они призвали провести расследование — на территории гостиницы проживают 30 лошадей, которых тоже могли травмировать фейерверки.

«На самом деле сначала это звучало так, будто взрываются бомбы, но потом стали слышны звуки фейерверков, и все стало понятно. Звучит довольно неприятно, но я действительно подумала, когда это началось: «О боже, русские здесь». Это было так громко», — сказала одна из жительниц Коутсолдса по имени Шарлин.

Водитель такси Стив также пожаловался на шум. По его словам, внуки проснулись в слезах, так как подумали, что их дом бомбят. Мужчина призвал Аткинсона «не терроризировать район».

«Русские идут!»: шумную вечеринку Мистера Бина британцы приняли за вторжение России и испугались

Мистер Бин испугал соседей фейерверком на праздник любимой

Известный актер Аткинсон Роуэн устроил грандиозный праздник в Англии в отеле Lucknam Par. С помощью фейерверка в честь 40-летия своей возлюбленной актер создал яркое зрелище. При этом от громкого звука соседи очень испугались и подумали, что это Россия начала обстреливать расположенную поблизости военную базу.

Вечеринка в честь дня рождения Луизы Форд устроила настоящий хаос в спокойном районе Котсуолд. От фейерверка даже удрали животные. Известно также, что руководство гостиницы, которую арендовал актер накануне, предупредило местных жителей о вечеринке в честь Дня рождения.

Один из очевидцев написал на странице в фейсбуке, что они «честно думали, что база подверглась нападению россиян». Также 35-летняя Шарлин поделилась, что это звучало отвратительно, и она сразу подумала: «О Боже, русские здесь». По ее словам, это было очень громко.

«На самом деле сначала это звучало так, будто взрывались бомбы, но потом мы прислушались, что это фейерверки, и это внезапно приобрело другой смысл», — сказала женщина журналистам.

Другой местный житель описал звуки фейерверка в 22 часов вечера как «якобы группа тяжелых бомбардировщиков сбрасывала боеприпасы». А водитель такси, который в тот вечер в семейном кругу, сказал, что звуки от салюта напомнили ему боевые действия: «Было похоже, что нас бомбят россияне. Наши собаки с ума сошли, бегали по дому и вертелись».

Жители отметили, что были на собрании и слышали о том, что планируется праздник, но в тот момент, когда они услышали фейерверк, не могли сразу прийти в себя, ведь было очень громко. Они радуются, что их малыши не проснулись, но отмечают, что от звуков затрясся дом.

Mr. Bean’s Holiday is a 2007 comedy film directed by Steve Bendelack and written by Hamish McColl and Robin Driscoll, from a story penned by Simon McBurney. Based on the British sitcom series Mr. Bean created by Rowan Atkinson and Richard Curtis, it is a standalone sequel to Bean (1997). The film stars Atkinson in the title role, with Max Baldry, Emma de Caunes, Willem Dafoe and Karel Roden in supporting roles. In the film, Mr. Bean wins a trip to Cannes, France, but on his way there, he is mistaken for both a kidnapper and an award-winning filmmaker when he travels with both a Russian filmmaker’s son and an aspiring actress in tow.

Produced by StudioCanal, Working Title Films and Tiger Aspect Films, the film was theatrically released in the United Kingdom on 30 March 2007 and in the United States on 24 August 2007 by Universal Pictures. It received mixed reviews from critics, though it was generally considered to be an improvement over its predecessor. The film was also a commercial success, having grossed $232.2 million worldwide against a $25 million budget.^[4]

Plot[edit]

On a rainy day in London, Mr. Bean wins a holiday trip to Cannes, a video camera, and €200 in a raffle. Upon arriving in France, Bean causes chaos while trying French seafood cuisine at Le Train Bleu and asks Russian film director, Emil Duchevsky, to film him boarding his train using his video camera at the Gare de Lyon. However, the two keep doing retakes at Bean’s request until the train leaves with Bean and Duchevsky’s son, Stepan, onboard and Duchevsky left behind.

Bean and Stepan bond and get off together at the next station, where Duchevsky’s train passes through the station without stopping; he holds up a sign with a mobile phone number written on it for Stepan to call, but due to inadvertently obscuring the last two digits, Bean unsuccessfully calls the number numerous times. Bean and Stepan board the next train stopping, but are ejected as Bean had accidentally left his wallet, passport and ticket on the telephone booth.

To earn money, Bean busks as a mime/singer and buys himself and Stepan food and bus tickets to Cannes. However, Bean’s ticket gets caught in the wind and onto the foot of a chicken, which is then packed into a farmer’s truck that Bean chases via bicycle to a farm, where he is unable to retrieve his ticket due to the large number of chickens there. Deciding to continue his journey alone on foot, Bean wakes up on a quaint French village under attack from Nazi soldiers, which is revealed to be the set of a yogurt commercial directed by American filmmaker Carson Clay. Bean briefly stars in the commercial as one of the soldiers before being dismissed for showing his video camera in the advert, and accidentally causes the set to explode while recharging his camera.

Continuing to hitchhike, Bean is picked up by a Mini identical to his own driven by aspiring actress Sabine, who is on her way to the Cannes Film Festival, where her debut film directed by Carson, Playback Time, is to be presented. The pair stop at a café, where Bean reunites with Stepan and Sabine decides to take him with them, believing Stepan to be Bean’s son. The next morning, the trio arrive in Cannes thanks to Bean driving through the night after Sabine falls asleep.

At a petrol station, Sabine sees on the news that she and Bean are suspected of kidnapping Stepan. In a rush to Playback Time’s premiere which is starting in merely an hour, she decides not to head to the police to clear the misunderstandings and instead has Bean and Stepan disguised as her mother and daughter to avoid detection at the festival. During the premiere, the audience initially showcases disinterest in the film, and Sabine discovers that her role has been cut, prompting Bean to plug his video camera into the projector and replace the film’s visuals with his video diary. The camera’s footage of Bean’s shenanigans surprisingly align well with the film’s narration, and Carson, Sabine and Bean all receive a standing ovation while Stepan is reunited with his parents.

Bean exits through the theatre’s back door and finally arrives at the Cannes beach as desired, where he, Sabine, Stepan, Carson, and a group of other people mime a large musical finale to the song «La Mer».

After the credits, Bean can be seen writing «FIN» in the sand with his foot. As soon as he finishes, the camera runs out of battery.

Production[edit]

Plans for a second Mr. Bean film were first revealed in February 2001, when Rowan Atkinson — who was filming Scooby-Doo at the time — was lured into developing a sequel to Bean (1997), from a script written by Mr. Bean co-creator Richard Curtis that would have followed Mr. Bean heading to Australia under the working title Down Under Bean.^[5] No further announcements regarding the film were made until in early 2005.

In March 2005, the film was officially announced, then titled Bean 2, with Simon McBurney, co-founder and artistic director of the Théâtre de Complicité theatre company, writing the film’s script.^[6] In December of that year, Atkinson announced that he would script the film himself alongside Curtis, though the final screenplay was instead written by Robin Driscoll (a writer on the TV series) and Hamish McColl, while McBurney wrote the film’s story and served as one of the executive producers on the film alongside Curtis.^{[citation needed]}

Principal photography for the film began on 15 May 2006 and took place on location across England and France, particularly during the 2006 Cannes Film Festival.^[7] At that point, the film’s title was changed from Bean 2 to French Bean, and later to Mr. Bean’s Holiday, a reference to the 1953 French comedy film Monsieur Hulot’s Holiday, whose title character served as an inspiration to the character of Mr. Bean.^{[citation needed]}

Atkinson reflected in 2022 that since he was neither an athlete nor a cyclist, he found the cycling sequence to be the most difficult thing he had ever done as Mr. Bean.^[8]

Deleted scenes[edit]

The film features twelve deleted scenes, all of which are included in the film’s home media releases:

• On the train, Bean accidentally spills some coffee on a laptop in front of two sleeping men. He cleans it up by wiping the keyboard with his hands, leaving just as one of the two men wakes up and blames the other for destroying his laptop. This scene was featured on trailers and TV spots for the film, while the European release of the film has it in place of the vending machine scene.
• An extended version of Bean’s walk across France where he sees Stepan for the first time looking out a car window.
• Bean tricks a man to get a train ticket for himself and staying with Stepan on the train.
• Bean carries Stepan on his back all the way through a French plaza.
• Bean continues his journey on foot through a large field of sunflowers, which then transitions to the scene where he tries to hitchhike. In an extended version of that scene, he films himself doing silly moves in the middle of the road using his video camera (which is later shown in Carson Clay’s Playback Time in the film’s final cut).
• Taking place before the scene where he gets picked up by Sabine, Bean performs shadow play on the road.
• An extended version of Bean’s car ride with Sabine where the latter leaves her Mini emotionally and almost gets run over by a truck after lying down on the road.
• An extended version of the café scene where Bean mimes his journey to Stepan prior to reuniting with him, which transitions to the scene where Sabine meets Stepan and the group dances at the cafe.
• Taking place in the scene where Sabine stops at a petrol station to change for the premiere, Bean tricks a man into making the cost of his car’s refueling higher, by immediately getting the fuel nozzle once the man places it back on the gas pumps (unbeknownst to the man) and plugging it into Sabine’s Mini.
• Taking place during the premiere of Playback Time, Bean enters the projection room, where he falls asleep while sitting down to watch the film. He then leans on the rolling projector’s wheel, causing it to stop and the film to stop rolling, get tangled up and cut, which causes Bean to wake up and try sticking the film back together. After initially succeeding in fixing the film, Bean then accidentally causes the projector to lower down. This is then followed by Carson discovering the film roll accumulating in the projection room and trying to fix the film and lower the projector back up. The damaged film is still seen lying next to the projector in the final cut, though it remains unexplained.
• The original ending of the film had Bean dancing at the beach with a band, which was replaced by Bean, Sabine, Stepan and the rest of the film’s characters singing «La Mer».

Music[edit]

The film score was composed and conducted by Howard Goodall, who also composed the original Mr. Bean series, although the original Mr. Bean theme was unused. In contrast to the series’ use of simple musical repetitions, the film uses a symphonic orchestration, which is a sophisticated score that features catchy leitmotifs for particular characters or scenes. The film’s theme song was «Crash» by Matt Willis.

Release[edit]

Theatrical[edit]

Mr. Bean’s Holiday served as the official film for Red Nose Day 2007, with money made from the film going to the telethon’s charity Comic Relief. Prior to the film’s release, a new and exclusive Mr. Bean sketch titled Mr. Bean’s Wedding was broadcast on the telethon for Comic Relief on BBC One on 16 March 2007.^[9]

The official premiere of the film took place at the Odeon Leicester Square on Sunday, 25 March and helped to raise money for both Comic Relief and the Oxford Children’s Hospital.^{[citation needed]} Universal Pictures released a teaser trailer for the film in November 2006 and launched an official website online the following month.^{[citation needed]}

Home media[edit]

Mr. Bean’s Holiday was released on both DVD and HD DVD on 27 November 2007. The DVD release is in separate widescreen and pan and scan formats in the United States. The DVD charted at No. 1 on the DVD chart in the United Kingdom on its week of release. Following the 2006-08 high-definition optical disc format war, the film was released on Blu-ray in the United Kingdom on 18 October 2010. The film was then released on Blu-ray for the first time in the United States on 16 April 2019.^[10][11][12]

Reception[edit]

Box office[edit]

Mr. Bean’s Holiday opened in the United States on 24 August 2007 alongside War and The Nanny Diaries, and grossed $9,889,780 in its opening weekend while playing in 1,714 theaters, with a $5,770 per-theater average and ranking fourth at the box office. The film then closed on 18 October 2007 with a final domestic gross of $33,302,167 and a final international gross of $198,923,741. Culminating in a worldwide total of $232,225,908, the film has become commercially successful considering its $25 million budget.^[4][3] The film was released in the United Kingdom on 30 March 2007 and topped the country’s box office for the next two weekends, before being dethroned by Wild Hogs.^[13][14]

Critical response[edit]

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 51% based on 115 reviews with an average rating of 5.40/10. The site’s critical consensus reads, «Mr. Bean’s Holiday means well, but good intentions can’t withstand the 90 minutes of monotonous slapstick and tired, obvious gags.»^[15] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 56 out of 100 based on 26 critics, indicating «mixed or average reviews».^[16] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of «B» on an A+ to F scale.^[17]

BBC film critic Paul Arendt gave the film 3 out of 5 stars, saying that, «It’s hard to explain the appeal of Mr. Bean. At first glance, he seems to be moulded from the primordial clay of nightmares: a leering man-child with a body like a tangle of tweed-coated pipe cleaners and the gurning, window-licking countenance of a suburban sex offender. It’s a testament to Rowan Atkinson’s skill that, by the end of the film he seems almost cuddly.»^[18] Philip French of The Observer referred to the character of Mr. Bean as a «dim-witted sub-Hulot loner» and said the plot involves Atkinson «getting in touch with his retarded inner child».

Ide also wrote that the jokes are weak and one gag «was past its sell-by date ten years ago».^[20]

Steve Rose of The Guardian gave the film 2 out of 5 stars, saying that the film was full of awfully weak gags, and «In a post-Borat world, surely there’s no place for Bean’s antiquated fusion of Jacques Tati, Pee-Wee Herman and John Major?»,^[21] while Colm Andrew of the Manx Independent said «the flimsiness of the character, who is essentially a one-trick pony, starts to show» and his «continual close-up gurning into the camera» becomes tiresome.

During the premiere, the audience initially showcases disinterest in the film, and Sabine discovers that her role has been cut, prompting Bean to plug his video camera into the projector and replace the film’s visuals with his video diary. The camera’s footage of Bean’s shenanigans surprisingly align well with the film’s narration, and Carson, Sabine and Bean all receive a standing ovation while Stepan is reunited with his parents.

Bean exits through the theatre’s back door and finally arrives at the Cannes beach as desired, where he, Sabine, Stepan, Carson, and a group of other people mime a large musical finale to the song «La Mer».

After the credits, Bean can be seen writing «FIN» in the sand with his foot. As soon as he finishes, the camera runs out of battery.

Production[edit]

Plans for a second Mr. Bean film were first revealed in February 2001, when Rowan Atkinson — who was filming Scooby-Doo at the time — was lured into developing a sequel to Bean (1997), from a script written by Mr. Bean co-creator Richard Curtis that would have followed Mr. Bean heading to Australia under the working title Down Under Bean.^[5] No further announcements regarding the film were made until in early 2005.

In March 2005, the film was officially announced, then titled Bean 2, with Simon McBurney, co-founder and artistic director of the Théâtre de Complicité theatre company, writing the film’s script.^[6] In December of that year, Atkinson announced that he would script the film himself alongside Curtis, though the final screenplay was instead written by Robin Driscoll (a writer on the TV series) and Hamish McColl, while McBurney wrote the film’s story and served as one of the executive producers on the film alongside Curtis.^{[citation needed]}

Principal photography for the film began on 15 May 2006 and took place on location across England and France, particularly during the 2006 Cannes Film Festival.^[7] At that point, the film’s title was changed from Bean 2 to French Bean, and later to Mr. Bean’s Holiday, a reference to the 1953 French comedy film Monsieur Hulot’s Holiday, whose title character served as an inspiration to the character of Mr. Bean.^{[citation needed]}

Atkinson reflected in 2022 that since he was neither an athlete nor a cyclist, he found the cycling sequence to be the most difficult thing he had ever done as Mr. Bean.^[8]

Deleted scenes[edit]

The film features twelve deleted scenes, all of which are included in the film’s home media releases:

• On the train, Bean accidentally spills some coffee on a laptop in front of two sleeping men. He cleans it up by wiping the keyboard with his hands, leaving just as one of the two men wakes up and blames the other for destroying his laptop. This scene was featured on trailers and TV spots for the film, while the European release of the film has it in place of the vending machine scene.
• An extended version of Bean’s walk across France where he sees Stepan for the first time looking out a car window.
• Bean tricks a man to get a train ticket for himself and staying with Stepan on the train.
• Bean carries Stepan on his back all the way through a French plaza.
• Bean continues his journey on foot through a large field of sunflowers, which then transitions to the scene where he tries to hitchhike. In an extended version of that scene, he films himself doing silly moves in the middle of the road using his video camera (which is later shown in Carson Clay’s Playback Time in the film’s final cut).
• Taking place before the scene where he gets picked up by Sabine, Bean performs shadow play on the road.
• An extended version of Bean’s car ride with Sabine where the latter leaves her Mini emotionally and almost gets run over by a truck after lying down on the road.
• An extended version of the café scene where Bean mimes his journey to Stepan prior to reuniting with him, which transitions to the scene where Sabine meets Stepan and the group dances at the cafe.
• Taking place in the scene where Sabine stops at a petrol station to change for the premiere, Bean tricks a man into making the cost of his car’s refueling higher, by immediately getting the fuel nozzle once the man places it back on the gas pumps (unbeknownst to the man) and plugging it into Sabine’s Mini.
• Taking place during the premiere of Playback Time, Bean enters the projection room, where he falls asleep while sitting down to watch the film. He then leans on the rolling projector’s wheel, causing it to stop and the film to stop rolling, get tangled up and cut, which causes Bean to wake up and try sticking the film back together. After initially succeeding in fixing the film, Bean then accidentally causes the projector to lower down. This is then followed by Carson discovering the film roll accumulating in the projection room and trying to fix the film and lower the projector back up. The damaged film is still seen lying next to the projector in the final cut, though it remains unexplained.
• The original ending of the film had Bean dancing at the beach with a band, which was replaced by Bean, Sabine, Stepan and the rest of the film’s characters singing «La Mer».

Music[edit]

The film score was composed and conducted by Howard Goodall, who also composed the original Mr. Bean series, although the original Mr. Bean theme was unused. In contrast to the series’ use of simple musical repetitions, the film uses a symphonic orchestration, which is a sophisticated score that features catchy leitmotifs for particular characters or scenes. The film’s theme song was «Crash» by Matt Willis.

Release[edit]

Theatrical[edit]

Reception[edit]

Critical response[edit]

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 51% based on 115 reviews with an average rating of 5.40/10. The site’s critical consensus reads, «Mr. Bean’s Holiday means well, but good intentions can’t withstand the 90 minutes of monotonous slapstick and tired, obvious gags.»^[15] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 56 out of 100 based on 26 critics, indicating «mixed or average reviews».^[16] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of «B» on an A+ to F scale.^[17]

BBC film critic Paul Arendt gave the film 3 out of 5 stars, saying that, «It’s hard to explain the appeal of Mr. Bean. At first glance, he seems to be moulded from the primordial clay of nightmares: a leering man-child with a body like a tangle of tweed-coated pipe cleaners and the gurning, window-licking countenance of a suburban sex offender. It’s a testament to Rowan Atkinson’s skill that, by the end of the film he seems almost cuddly.»^[18] Philip French of The Observer referred to the character of Mr. Bean as a «dim-witted sub-Hulot loner» and said the plot involves Atkinson «getting in touch with his retarded inner child». French also said «the best joke (Bean on an old bike riding faster than a team of professional cyclists) is taken directly from Tati’s Jour de Fete.»^[19] Wendy Ide of The Times gave the film 2 out of 5 stars and said «It has long been a mystery to the British, who consider Bean to be, at best, an ignoble secret weakness, that Rowan Atkinson’s repellent creation is absolutely massive on the Continent.» Ide said parts of the film are reminiscent of City of God, The Straight Story and said two scenes are «clumsily borrowed» from Pee-wee’s Big Adventure. Ide also wrote that the jokes are weak and one gag «was past its sell-by date ten years ago».^[20]

Steve Rose of The Guardian gave the film 2 out of 5 stars, saying that the film was full of awfully weak gags, and «In a post-Borat world, surely there’s no place for Bean’s antiquated fusion of Jacques Tati, Pee-Wee Herman and John Major?»,^[21] while Colm Andrew of the Manx Independent said «the flimsiness of the character, who is essentially a one-trick pony, starts to show» and his «continual close-up gurning into the camera» becomes tiresome. Peter Rainer of The Christian Science Monitor gave the film a «B» and said, «Since Mr. Bean rarely speaks a complete sentence, the effect is of watching a silent movie with sound effects. This was also the dramatic ploy of the great French director-performer Jacques Tati, who is clearly the big influence here.»^[22] Amy Biancolli of the Houston Chronicle gave the film 3 out of 4 stars, saying «Don’t mistake this simpleton hero, or the movie’s own simplicity, for a lack of smarts. Mr. Bean’s Holiday is quite savvy about filmmaking, landing a few blows for satire.» Biancolli said the humour is «all elementally British and more than a touch French. What it isn’t, wasn’t, should never attempt to be, is American. That’s the mistake made by Mel Smith and the ill-advised forces behind 1997’s Bean: The Movie.»^[23]

Ty Burr of The Boston Globe wrote, «Either you’ll find [Atkinson] hilarious—or he’ll seem like one of those awful, tedious comedians who only thinks he’s hilarious.» Burr also said «There are also a few gags stolen outright from Tati», but concluded «Somewhere, Jacques Tati is smiling.»^[24] Tom Long of The Detroit News said, «Watching 90 minutes of this stuff—we’re talking broad, broad comedy here—may seem a bit much, but this film actually picks up steam as it rolls along, becoming ever more absurd.» and also «Mr. Bean offers a refreshingly blunt reminder of the simple roots of comedy in these grim, overly manufactured times.»^[25]

Suzanne Condie Lambert of The Arizona Republic wrote, «Atkinson is a gifted physical comedian. And the film is a rarity: a kid-friendly movie that was clearly not produced as a vehicle for selling toys and video games», but also said that «It’s hard to laugh at a character I’m 95 percent sure is autistic.»^[26] Lawrence Toppman of The Charlotte Observer gave the film 2½ stars out of 4 and said «If you like [the character], you will certainly like Mr. Bean’s Holiday, a 10-years-later sequel to Bean. I found him intermittently funny yet almost unrelentingly creepy», and also «Atkinson doesn’t have the deadpan elegance of a Buster Keaton or the wry, gentle physicality of a Jacques Tati (whose Mr. Hulot’s Holiday inspired the title). He’s funniest when mugging shamelessly…»^[27]

Ruthe Stein of the San Francisco Chronicle said that «the disasters instigated by Bean’s haplessness quickly become tiresome and predictable» but said that one scene later in the film «is worth sticking around for».^[28] Elizabeth Weitzman of the New York Daily News gave the film 2 out of 4 stars and said «If you’ve never been particularly fond of Atkinson’s brand of slapstick, you certainly won’t be converted by this trifle.» and also «If the title sounds familiar, it’s because Atkinson intends his movie to be an homage to the 1953 French classic Mr. Hulot’s Holiday. Mr. Hulot was played by one of the all-time great physical comedians, Jacques Tati, and that movie is a genuine delight from start to finish. This version offers a few laughs and an admirable commitment to old-fashioned fun.»^[29] Phil Villarreal of the Arizona Daily Star gave the film 2 stars and said «If you’ve seen 10 minutes of Rowan Atkinson’s Mr. Bean routine, you’ve seen it all», and «The Nazi stuff is a bit out of place in a G-rated movie. Or any movie, really», later calling Atkinson «a has-Bean».^[30] Claudia Puig of USA Today gave the film 1½ stars out of 4 and said «If you’ve been lobotomised or have the mental age of a kindergartener, Mr. Bean’s Holiday is viable comic entertainment» and also, «The film, set mostly in France, pays homage to Jacques Tati, but the mostly silent gags feel like watered-down Bean.»^[31]

Accolades[edit]

Max Baldry was nominated for Best Performance in a Feature Film – Supporting Young Actor at the 29th Young Artist Awards in 2008.^{[citation needed]} The film was nominated as Comedy or Musical and Best Comedy at the First National Movie Awards in 2007.^{[citation needed]}

В лотерее мистер Бин выигрывает отпуск поездом в Канны, видеокамеру и € 200. Прежде чем сесть на поезд, Бин вызывает хаос, пробуя блюда французской кухни из морепродуктов в парижском ресторане.

На платформе в Лионский вокзал Бин просит российского кинорежиссера Эмиля Дучевского заснять его посадку в поезд на новую видеокамеру. Бин продолжает просить пересдать, пока поезд не уходит с Бином и сыном Дучевского Степаном в поезде, а Дучевский не остается.

Бин и Степан выходят на следующей станции. Когда поезд Дучевского проходит через станцию, не останавливаясь, он показывает номер мобильного телефона, но нечаянно скрывает последние две цифры. Попытки дозвониться по номеру безрезультатны. Они садятся на следующий поезд, но Бин оставил свой бумажник, паспорт и билет в вагоне. телефонная будка и их скидывают с поезда.

Фасоль автобусы в качестве мима и покупает парные автобусные билеты до Канн. Бину удается потерять и свой билет, и Степан, поэтому он отправляется пешком и автостопом.

На следующее утро он просыпается в причудливой французской деревне, атакованной немецкими солдатами. Оказывается, это была съемочная площадка для рекламы йогурта, которую поставил Карсон Клей (Виллем Дефо ), и Бин становится дополнительный в рекламе, пока он случайно не уничтожит съемочную площадку взрывом при подзарядке камеры.

Продолжая путешествовать автостопом, Бин подбирает французская актриса Сабина на пути к Каннский кинофестиваль где будет представлен ее дебютный фильм. На станции техобслуживания находят Степана танцующим с оркестром и берут с собой. Трио едет всю ночь.

Сабина видит по телевизору, что Бин подозревается в похищении Степана. Она не идет в полицию, так как не хочет опаздывать на премьеру своего фильма, которая состоится всего через час. Чтобы избежать обнаружения, Сабина маскирует Бина и Степана под свою мать и дочь, чтобы попасть на ее премьеру.

На фестивале Бин и Сабина шокированы, увидев, что роль Сабины была вырезана из фильма. Он подключает свою видеокамеру к проектору и проецирует свой видеодневник. Кадры хорошо согласуются с повествованием Клея, а режиссер, Сабина и Бин все получают овации. Степан и Дучевский наконец воссоединились.

После просмотра Бин идет на пляж, где он и другие персонажи имитируют большой французский музыкальный финал. После титров Бин пишет на песке ногой «FIN», в то время как батарея камеры умирает, заканчивая фильм.

BBC кинокритик Пол Арендт дал фильму 3 звезды из 5, заявив, что «трудно объяснить привлекательность мистера Бина. тело, как клубок чистящих средств в твидовом покрытии и гурнинг, облизывающее окно лицо сексуального преступника из пригорода. Свидетельством мастерства Роуэна Аткинсона является то, что к концу фильма он кажется почти милым ».^[14] Филипп Френч из Наблюдатель описал характер мистера Бина как «тупого недоумка»Юло одиночка »и сказал, что сюжет вовлекает Аткинсона« в контакт со своим отсталым внутренним ребенком ». Френч также сказал, что« лучшая шутка (Бин на старом велосипеде едет быстрее, чем команда профессиональных велосипедистов) взята непосредственно из Тати с Jour de Fete.»^[15] Венди Идей Времена дал фильму 2 из 5 звезд и сказал: «Это долгое время было загадкой для британцев, считающих Бина, в лучшем случае, неблагородной тайной слабостью, что репеллентное творение Роуэна Аткинсона является абсолютно огромным. континент. «Ид сказал, что части фильма напоминают Город Бога, Прямая история и сказал, что две сцены «неуклюже заимствованы» из Большое приключение Пи-Ви. Ide также написал, что шутки неубедительны, и одна шутка «истекла десять лет назад».^[16]

Стив Роуз из Хранитель дал фильму 2 звезды из 5, сказав, что фильм полон ужасно слабых приколов, и «В пост-Борат мир, конечно же, нет места для устаревшего слияния Бина из Жака Тати, Пи-Ви Германа и Джона Мейджора? «,^[17] а Колм Эндрю из Индепендент острова Мэн сказал, что «хрупкость персонажа, который, по сути, является пони с одним трюком, начинает проявляться», и его «постоянный крупный план, вытаскиваемый из камеры», становится утомительным. Питер Райнер из The Christian Science Monitor поставил фильму оценку «B» и сказал: «Поскольку мистер Бин редко произносит законченное предложение, создается эффект просмотра немого фильма со звуковыми эффектами. Это также было драматической уловкой великого французского режиссера-исполнителя. Жак Тати, который явно имеет здесь большое влияние «.^[18] Эми Бианколли из Хьюстон Хроникл поставил фильму 3 звезды из 4, сказав: «Не путайте этого простодушного героя или собственную простоту фильма с недостатком ума. Праздник мистера Бина довольно сообразительный в создании фильмов, нанося несколько ударов по сатире ». Бьянколли сказал, что юмор« чисто британский и больше, чем легкий французский. То, чем он не является, не имело и никогда не должно быть, является американским. Это ошибка, сделанная Мел Смит и опрометчивые силы 1997-х Бин: Фильм.»^[19]

Тай Берр из Бостонский глобус написал: «Либо вы найдете [Аткинсона] веселым, либо он будет казаться одним из тех ужасных, утомительных комиков, которые только думают, что он веселый». Берр также сказал: «Есть также несколько приколов, украденных прямо у Тати», но заключил: «Где-то, Жак Тати улыбается».^[20] Том Лонг из Новости Детройта сказал: «Просмотр 90 минут этого материала — мы говорим здесь о широкой, широкой комедии — может показаться немного сложным, но этот фильм на самом деле набирает обороты по мере того, как он катится, становясь все более абсурдным». а также «Мистер Бин предлагает освежающе прямолинейное напоминание о простых корнях комедии в эти мрачные, чрезмерно сфабрикованные времена».^[21]

Сюзанна Конди Ламберт из Республика Аризона написал: «Аткинсон — одаренный физический комик. А этот фильм — редкость: фильм для детей, который явно не создавался как средство для продажи игрушек и видеоигр», но также сказал, что «над персонажем сложно смеяться. Я уверен на 95 процентов аутичный.»^[22] Лоуренс Топпман из Шарлотта Обсервер дал фильму 2½ звезды из 4 и сказал: «Если вам нравится [персонаж], вам обязательно понравится Праздник мистера Бина, 10-летнее продолжение Фасоль. Я находил его время от времени забавным, но почти безжалостно жутким », а также« Аткинсон не обладает невозмутимой элегантностью Бастер Китон или кривое, нежное телосложение Жака Тати (чей Праздник мистера Юло вдохновило название). Он самый забавный, когда бесстыдно грабит … «^[23]
