Review of Bean - The Ultimate Disaster Movie (DVD)

...comedy. So when a Mr. Bean movie was released, I was quite eager for more. Unfortunately Bean doesn't seem to work on film, due to the introduction of a plot; in complete contrast with the TV show where Mr Bean would just turn up at random places, armed with whatever he finds in his extensive pockets. Bean also properly talks with people in the movie, which rather ruins the effect of the 'silent comedian'. While the film is still written by Richard ...
...role somewhat. He overemphasizes the Bean character too much, using obvious and, quite frankly, lamebrained expressions and movements. Watching a man giggle isn't funny! What's even more frustrating about the Bean movie is the fact some gags are repeated from the TV series, such as on an aeroplane where he explodes a half-full airsick bag. Aside from this sense of deja-vu, there are still a few laughs to be had throughout the film, with good physical ...

...Rowan Atkinson (of Blackadder fame). Bean has this inept ability to create chaos wherever he goes without even realising what he is doing, but he also has an almost eccentrically intellectual mind that helps him to get through most things. This film starts out in the National Art Gallery in London, where Bean is employed in a caretaker-type role who is paid to sit in the corner and 'look at the paintings' as he puts it during the course of the film. ...
...agrees to send over Mr Bean - at least it gets him off their back for a while, and they even given him a month or two over there as a form of a sabbatical. The reason for his going, is to be there for the unveiling of the portrait of Whistlers' Mother in front of the local elite and the media - although the art gallery who are receiving him have absolutely no idea as to what they have let themselves in for. And for some reason, hhe is known as Doctor ...

Review of Bean - The Ultimate Disaster Movie (DVD)

...~The story~ Mr Bean (Rowan Atkinson) is working for the Royal National Gallery of London, where he is their worst employee, detested by the rest of the staff for his general hopelessness and tendency to fall asleep on the job. They are desperate to get rid of him, but the head of the gallery wants him to stay. When an opportunity arises for an art scholar to go to Los Angeles for the unveiling of a portrait, 'Whistler's mother', which is to be returned ...
...unanimously vote for Mr Bean to go, just so they can be rid of him for a while. Mr Bean arrives in America to be greeted by David Langley (Peter MacNicol) who works at the LA art gallery, and who has talked his wife into letting Mr Bean stay at their home for the duration of his trip to the US. Mr Bean being Mr Bean soon leaves a trail of devastation in his wake, destroying everything he comes into contact with - including David's family. How long ...

Review of Bean - The Ultimate Disaster Movie (DVD)

...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 in ...
...this too - no doubt. Bean just gets himself in a mess quite often, is very stupid, but does manage to save himself a fair few times. He provides the majority of the comedy in the movie and is constantly pulling a funny face or doing something unusual. The second character is David - Peter MacNicol. He is the head of the family who Mr Bean goes to stay with. He is just a fairly normal guy, who reacts as most people would to Mr Bean. He is amazing ...

Review of Bean - The Ultimate Disaster Movie (DVD)

...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. It took three years for Mr Bean's big screen foray to be made and was written by Rowan Atkinson, Richard Curtis and Robin Driscoll. Directed by Mel Smith, Mr Bean gets up to his usual disastrous antics as this geeky absurd character ventures to Hollywood. ...
...members propose to sack Mr Bean until the chairman sings his praise. It seems only right then that he is selected for a three month assignment at the Grierson Art Gallery in Los Angeles where the famous 'Whistler's Mother' painting is to be re-housed. Keeping his job but out of the country. And so it is… excentric Mr Bean is sent to LA (humerous aeroplane scene included!) as a British Scholar representative to unveil the American painting being ...

...minutes '''Plot''' Mr Bean (Rowan Atkinson) is an eccentric caretaker in British National gallery in London. One day his boss want's to fire him, because he didn't do anything, and spent all the time for sleeping, but he couldn't because chairman of the gallery's board defends him. So he continues his job, until one day they send Bean to USA, to small Los Angeles gallery , where he has to present most famous painting ("Whistler Mother") to everyone, ...
...especially Rowan Atkinson, who's personify Bean and other great actor was Peter MacNicol, who's personify some manager of Bean (I don't know exactly). I haven't seen Peter MacNicol before, but in this movie, he showed, what he can do and how good actor he is, and he's really good actor and makes this film really enjoyable. Of course I liked Rowan Atkinson much more, he is very famous actor in world, and also he's one of my favorite actors, and also ...

Review of Bean - The Ultimate Disaster Movie (DVD)

...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. However, as snobby as he is, Mr. Bean is incredibly likable, for some of his ingenious ideas and random behavior. A personal favorite skit of Bean's was in the hospital, in which Bean attempts to gain a higher ...
...said, this movie starring Mr. Bean doesn't FEEL like Mr. Bean for some reason. In the series and shorts, it was always about Bean, but now that it is Americanized, also due to most Americans not being able to stand any sort of silence all the time, we have other actors who get just as much screen time as Atkinson does. I'll be honest, I do like Peter MacNicol ("Vy am I drippings vis goo?" From Ghostbusters), but it's just not right when the presence ...

...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 well, ...

...an American audience to Mr Bean was never going to work. Other than the British public, many other countries would not understand the humour of Rowan pulling a Benny Hill type face. Although we see Mr Bean finally get real friends and we learn abit more about him, the only good part of this film was when he went on the theme park ride after tinkering with it's programme. I am ashamed to say I did not laugh much as this and would much prefer the series. ...

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 ...
