...way out of it. Mr Bean works in an art gallery, and the board at the art gallery have to send someone over to America for the displaying of a famous painting - Whistler's mother. They just want to get rid of him really, as he's useless, knows nothing about art and falls asleep in the gallery all the time. So with Mr Bean let lose on America, this is where it become 'the ultimate disaster movie'. I would say there are three important characters ... Read review

...Rowan Atkinson's character creation Mr Bean and the British comedy series of the same name, then you'll know exactly what to expect from "Bean - The Ultimate Disaster Movie"… his full-length film debut.

...those who don't know, Mr. Bean was a British character played by Rowan Atkinson. Bean himself is, quite much, a crazy snob. He is self-centered, bigoted, and always attempts to find ways to do things, even if in the most random and unusual ways.

...this film, the mini Mr Bean stories i enjoyed as a kid but i have to say i was highly disappointed with this film when it came out and i can't honestly say that my opinion has changed. I realise it is supposed to be a kids film etc but there are kids films that are actually great and enjoyable for all ages but unfortunately i can't say the same fro this film. Although Rowan Atkinson is a good actor and portrays the lovably bumbling Mr Bean ... Read review

This film I feel would only appeal to the fans of Rowan Atkinson and Mr Bean. The storyline is farcical and too OTT. Bringing an American audience to Mr Bean was never going to work.

Advantages: A Great Comedy
Disadvantages: No DVD extras

Bean the ultimate disater movie is a great film. It has a good story line with very memoriable jokes and scenes. A great film well worth watching however the DVD is a bit of a let down with no DVD extras except from a movie trailer. The film has a good soundtrack and a great story however the DVD extras just let it down. There are a few other reconisiable stars in this film but Rowan Aktinson really makes this film come alive with comedy. If you have ... Read review
